So, Roger Ailes gives Trump debate questions in advance. Fox editor buries Stormy Daniels story in 2016 that would've hurt Trump in the general, uses a nondisclosure as a shield to stop the reporter.

This should should disqualify Fox News from hosting 2019-2020 debates.

In addition, Sean Hannity was working hand-in-hand with the Trump campaign. Hannity even loaned his private plane to fly Newt Gingrich to meet with Donald Trump for a VP audition.

Hannity has appeared on stage at Trump rallies.

When asked about the jet, Hannity's defense is that he is not a journalist, he's a talk show host.

OK, but why then is he traveling with Trump to places like Vietnam, getting exclusive interviews AND sitting with the rest of the media, asking questions at a press conference?

Does Sean Hannity's aging audience understand the shady game he's playing? He presents himself to them as a journalist night after night, giving them his own twisted version of news. Do they really understand he's not a journalist?

And one last question ---- given the fact that Sean Hannity has had such a close relationship with Donald Trump, Michael Cohen and Roger Stone --- when EXACTLY did Sean Hannity learn of the Wikileaks DNC email dump? Was he part of the plan (in advance) to weaponize the leak?

Sean Hannity himself has frequently said he's not a journalist, so he should have no problems answering this question and cannot use journalism as a shield.

Just a couple of guys rallying together in front of adoring fans.

Bloody hell, Hannity even appeared in a campaign video for Trump.

“One of the reasons I’m supporting Donald Trump this year,” a jeans- and sport-shirt wearing Hannity tells the camera around minute six of the video,....

".....“is No. 1, he’s gonna put originalists on the Supreme Court who believe in fidelity to the Constitution, separation of powers, co-equal branches of government. He’s a guy who vet refugees to keep Americans safe…”

Here is Sean Hannity, only days ago in Vietnam, pretending to be a serious journalist, asking questions as the North Korea talks went down in flames.

Did he discuss this with Trump before this press conference?

Fox News should also waive the nondisclosure agreement for Diana Falzone and let her speak the truth about her time at Fox News and the decision to kill the Stormy Daniels story in the final weeks of the general campaign.
