Sean Hannity is backing away from the Seth Rich story in respect for the Rich family — but not before several advertisers walked away from Hannity in response to his continued coverage of the story.
A number of companies have pulled ads from Fox News host Sean Hannity’s show Hannity after he pledged to continue investigating circumstances surrounding the death of murdered DNC employee Seth Rich.
Companies including Cars.com, Peloton, and Leesa Sleep have all given in to pressure to cease advertising on the show over Hannity’s pursuit of now retracted claims made by Fox News that murdered DNC employee Seth Rich had contact with Wikileaks before his death.
After Rich’s family sent a letter to Fox demanding that Hannity stop discussing the former DNC staffer’s murder, Hannity said he would do so “out of respect for the family’s wishes.”
But don’t take this development as a retraction. Hannity goes on to note that he has “retracted nothing” and that he would continue to seek “the truth” behind the Rich murder. In the meantime, he has turned his focus toward Media Matters for America, the liberal anti-Fox organization leading the charge against the host.
Liberal Fascism. Mmfa is targeting my advertisers to silence my voice. They hope to get me fired. Rush, O'Reilly, Beck, Imus, & now me.
