Conservative Nutcase Sean Hannity Misinformer Of The Year
Well we as Democrats can thank the fact that Sean Hannity is a Republican for his vileness, hatred, and outright distortions turn people off. Media Matters has rewarded Herr Hannity.
According to Media Matters:
As Media Matters for America has demonstrated time and again, Fox News' Sean Hannity has been a prolific and influential purveyor of conservative misinformation. But never has he so enthusiastically applied his talents for spreading misinformation as he did to the 2008 presidential race, focusing his energies primarily on President-elect Barack Obama. Day after day, Hannity devoted his two Fox News shows and his three-hour ABC Radio Networks program to "demonizing" the Democratic presidential candidates, starkly explaining in August: "That's my job. ... I led the 'Stop Hillary Express.' By the way, now it's the 'Stop Obama Express.' " Hannity's "Stop Obama Express" promoted and embellished a vast array of misleading attacks and false claims about Obama. Along the way, he uncritically adopted and promoted countless Republican talking points and played host to numerous credibility-challenged smear artists who painted Obama as a dangerous radical. When he was not going after Obama, Hannity attacked members of Obama's family, as well as Sen. Hillary Clinton and other progressives, and denied all the while that he had unfairly attacked anyone.
Very well said, very well said indeed.

Media Matters was being generous. They really meant to say "Liar of the Year." Hannity mentioned this on his radio show and named Media Matters Obamania, leftwing, etc. The usually insight comeback. I'm sure he will cherish this honor.
