Olbermann: Hannity’s “Telling Them How To Avoid Questions By His Own Co-Host”

In an e-mail to TVNewser, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann responds to today’s posts about Sean Hannity: “Sorry, ‘most hosts’ do not give ‘media training’ to guests before a broadcast. Conceivably, you might calm down a nervous guest by going over the topics in advance, or telling them stories of the commonality of nervousness. But that’s not what the tapes indicate Hannity’s doing: he’s telling them how to avoid questions by his own co-host so that their story — true or false — goes unchallenged. It would be considered journalistic fraud, if Sean Hannity were a journalist and not a propagandist hack.”
