Hannity, Fox face ethical issues over Trump text revelations
Associated PressNEW YORK — For years, Sean Hannity has skirted ethical boundaries with his role on a television network with “news” in its name. In one text revealed by the committee on Tuesday, Hannity wrote to Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, on Dec. 31, 2020, that “we can’t lose the entire WH counsel’s office” and said Trump should announce he was leading a nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. In 2016, Hannity told The New York Times that “I never claimed to be a journalist.” A year later, he told the same newspaper that “I’m a journalist. “And he can’t have it both ways.” Fox News executives have not immediately commented on the revelations of what Hannity has been texting Meadows or criticism about his or the network’s ethics. “I don’t consider Fox to be a news organization,” said June Cross, a documentarian and journalism professor at Columbia University.
