Hannity

I read my friend's blog, David Guilbeaut's blog "The Well Said" this morning. He writes about Sean Hannity's interview with California Governor Gavin Newsom. In the introduction to the show, Hannity said a condition was that he would not interrupt the governor. Of course, that didn't happen.

To twist comedian Ron White's gag a bit, "He had the right to remain silent. He did not have the ability."

Hannity's style is to ask a skewed question, and when the interviewee responds, cuts him off to interject his own conservative viewpoint on his own conservative question. It is very tiring.

I watched it, as painful as it was, to get a sense of Newsom's views. It was difficult to do with Hannity constantly talking over Newsom, or attempting to. The governor gave it right back. Hannity wouldn't stop and is, in my opinion, the absolute worst interviewer in the history of television.

From Quora Hannity "is very good at talking while listening... at the same time. Not many people can do that, but he’s really good at it. Most of the time when he says something that sounds intelligent it’s either being fed to him or he’s reading from the prompter."

Again from Quora "He doesn’t come across as very smart."

Hannity has no solid education. He attended college but did not graduate. His college experience was a smattering of courses taken at three colleges. His lack of education shows. He lacks critical thinking skills and certainly has no debating skills.

Still, Fox News pays him $25 million a year.
