"I don't vet the information on this program that I give out"

Now that's a roundabout way to say you're a serial liar...

QAnonBomber will be by shortly to tell us Hannity and Maddow are the same person.

I don't think he knows what the word "vet" means. That part of his comment makes no sense in context.

This shouldn't be a surprise. There's been so many conservative infotainment hosts who have publicly admitted they are just playing a character and knowingly lie.

He's even lying about not vetting information.
Information is first judged by its ability to keep eyeballs on screens so that sponsors can determine their return on investment.

In my own opinion.. Hannity and limbaugh are struggling to find a new identity hoping to re-invent their programs. Completely out of public embarassment for supporting a losing liar. I've been done with both programs for 3yrs when I saw them lie plain as day.Im done with fox news too.

You didn't notice that they were lying to you until 3 years ago?

As long as that realization didn't come along with a shift to Newsmax and OAN he's good.

Why should he vet the information he puts out? He is going to repeat the talking points given to him regardless if they are true or not. Hannity is a well paid puppet who will say anything his superiors tell him to say. A tape recorder could do his job just as well.

If you're watching a paid tlmalker from a mega corporation expecting an unbiased take on the world around them, youre simply too stupid to breathe.

It's funny, since his NAME is on it and the crap comes out of his Trump mushroom hole, you'd think he would want to verify the veracity of what he says. But alas, he's no better than the Slap Chop or My Pillow guys, selling cheap, defective crap to a supplicant audience of zombies.

That's been obvious to anyone with a brain since he first polluted the airwaves.
