Sean Hannity Feuds with CNN’s Jake Tapper Over Fox Host’s Award Confusion

Sean Hannity will no longer receive the conservative Media Research Center’s William F. Buckley Award for Media Excellence and the Fox News host landed in a Twitter feud with CNN’s Jake Tapper over the situation.

“Giving an award in his name to Hannity — a pugnacious talk radio host who has shared conspiracy theories on his popular cable news show — had caused hand wringing among some conservatives,” Tapper wrote.

[...] Tapper’s report added the following line: “Sources tell CNN that the MRC leadership discussed ways to allow Hannity to save face by acting as if a scheduling conflict would prevent him from accepting the award.”

Earlier this year, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell slammed the advertiser boycott of Hannity that occurred when he continued to cover the death of former DNC staffer Seth Rich.

The attack on Sean Hannity is a part of the liberal strategy to re-establish their monopoly over television news.
