Wright Attacks Hannity and O’Reilly, the FNC Pair Respond

Sen. Barack Obama‘s former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright is back in the news this week, as he attacked the media, and specifically Fox News, at a funeral for a Chicago judge.

“Fox News can’t understand that. [Bill] O’Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity‘s stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe,” said Wright.
