Episode of Hannity and Colmes on the Fox Channel

Post 14;

I watched the episode of Hannity on April 25, 2009.
Hannity’s first segment was about how Barrack Obama is hurting and endangering America by releasing photos showing harsh interrogation techniques conducted by the CIA. He kept using the phrase, “hurting America,” so I do not think he likes the President much. Hannity also reiterated that Obama is doing harm to the nation because the report he is releasing gives the away the CIA members’ addresses. He touched on Obama’s tour in Europe, where Hannity claims Obama kept calling America arrogant. He did not like that Obama bowed to the Saudi prince, for “hugging” the Castro brothers.


He brought on a guest, former Republican candidate, Huckabee to talk more about this issue. Huckabee agreed with Hannity that Obama is hurting America. He defended waterboarding as a technique that helped intelligence officers gain some information.
Huckabee also agreed with Hannity that Obama is releasing the photos for “for political reasons” specifically to make Bush look bad.
Hannity said the democrats, like Nancy Pelosi the White House Speaker, lied to the American people because at first she denied knowing about water boarding and then she said even if she didn’t know. Hannity brought on two columnists to talk about the allegations that waterboarding constitutes torture. They of course, agreed with Hannity that waterboarding is not torture. I think a good solution to decide whether waterboarding is torture or not is to pick a volunteer to go waterboarding and then ask him if he is suffering. If so, then it is torture.


Hannity also said Biden’s approval rating (51%) is lower than Cheney’s (58%) during the first hundred days. Hannity also claimed that Obama did not keep his promise for helping out this one lady who asked him to help her financially. HE said Obama wasted so many gallons of gas while traveling on his private jet.
Hannity also talked about Perez Hilton’s attack on Miss California. He thought she was brave for speaking her mind about gay marriage.
This show is very biased and Hannity is very opinionated. He basically feeds the guests the answer he wants to hear. I do not think this show is fair and balanced as Fox News Channel claims it is.
