'State Media': Twitter Users Mock Fox News As Hannity Campaigns With Trump

Sean Hannity is now on stage at the Trump rally repeating Trump's midterm campaign slogan, "Promises made, promises kept."

Hannity, earlier today: "To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the President." pic.twitter.com/lP2GYubdoK

Watching Hannity and Judge Jeanine gushing about the Trump rally (“it’s like a rock concert!”) — there is nothing to distinguish this from a paid political ad, nothing. Except it might have better production values.

Sean Hannity just took the stage next to Trump in Cape Girardeau. Earlier today he released this statement: "To be clear, I will not be on stage campaigning with the President."

And then he called the actual reporters in the back "fake news".

When I was in 6th grade, we learned about state media as part of authoritarian states, like TASS in the USSR. Wow, never thought it would be this blatant. https://t.co/nTovDHlAou

Hahaha. This is batshit. Fox News is onstage campaigning for Trump. https://t.co/Vsd9Nl2LRN

So if you campaign with Trump - like Hannity did tonight - and then have Trump on your show, is that an in-kind contribution?

Just as Fox News says, Sean's just there to broadcast from the site of Trump's rally, not to celebrate him. Or campaign. Even when he's celebrating Trump and campaigning with him. On the stage. Also, Jeanine Pirro. https://t.co/5r5CW2YhNG

Violating ethical standards that @FoxNews should be observing, unless it's finally going to identify as state-run media.

The Fox news and White house merger is complete. It's full on state media as of today. pic.twitter.com/Xq5XbIJqZT

Can we officially declare Fox to be state media now? 🙃

Trying to imagine Hannity’s month-long meltdown if Obama ever invited Don Lemon on stage to have him insult other networks pic.twitter.com/dJy4hr2N9j

What I said in my tweet yesterday was 100% truthful. When the POTUS invited me on stage to give a few remarks last night, I was surprised, yet honored by the president’s request. This was NOT planned.

— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) November 6, 2018

To be clear, I was not referring to my journalist colleagues at FOX News in those remarks. They do amazing work day in and day out in a fair and balanced way and It is an honor to work with such great professionals.
