"The Kelly File" is a terrible name for a show of any kind.

Hannity gets paid to freak out. There's no news here. It's not even reported by "real" CNN - only CNNmoney.

Its still strange, I doubt many companies would tolerate an employee publicly (for all the world to see) bickering with another employee. Whole story is strange.

Shocking, Hannity acts like a spoiled child when someone says something less than complimentary about his boyfriend. Not surprising considering how far up Trump's ass his tongue is.

She's not wrong. Trump has avoided any and all but the friendliest of media for the past several months. He also hasn't done a press conference since the beginning of summer while he and his surrogates repeatedly attacked Clinton for not doing them.

This is a great article and hits at exactly this...

Trump has put right wing media in a broken feedback loop.

I've been saying a lot of this for a while now. How in the 90's those who were solidly conservative started being called RINOs in the Bush years. And then how in the Obama years, the conservatives from the Bush years became RINOs. Now you even have Paul Ryan, one of the most conservative Speakers of the House in decades is being called a RINO. It's like if the political spectrum were represented on a football field with the 50 yard line being political center. Someone like Obama is around his side's 40 yard line, Bernie is maybe about the 25, Hillary is actually about the 45 yard line of the other side, and most of the GOP is around the first row of end zone seats with people like Ted Cruz and Trump being in the parking lot.

CBD in action, identifying "the other." Doesn't matter if you agree with me on 99 out of 100 issues, the second you disagree with me on the 100th you are a traitor to the country.

Kelly is right. Hannity may not like it, but Trump does stick to "safe zone" media outlets, and there is no doubt that Hannity is one of Trump's top fluffers.

Doesn't seem to do the Trump campaign any good IMO.

Hmmmmm....I don't know why it is that after envisioning Trump cruising around in his multi-million $$$ yacht I swear I saw a swarm of fat rats leaping off the stern in a fashion that these vermin are so well known for.

Breitbart people are up in arms with pitchforks to burn "Maggot Kelly" alive.

I've listened to and worked in news radio for a fair amount of time and Hannity absolutely gets under my skin. His politics aside, he's such a biased and horrible host and interviewer. He talks over people, doesn't let them actually make whole statements unless he completely agrees with them, softballs people he considers friends, and talks over national addresses like some horrible alternate reality MST3K.

I don't know anything about Kelly, but if Hannity's involved I'd go in with a truck full of salt.

She's been roasting him with her mean girl powers fur a while.

Don't forget she was the one that broke the dam on Ailes.

I have the strong sense she is looking to remake the network and Hannity is one of the dumb frat guys of the old guard ripe for picking on.
