REPORT: Sean Hannity May Not Return To Fox News

The right wing Independent Journal Review reports:

Amid ongoing turmoil at Fox News, an internal battle appears to be brewing between top executives and one of the last remaining vestiges of the lineup that made the network a powerhouse in cable news — Sean Hannity.

Hannity has gone “underground” and is actively considering whether or not he will return to Fox News on Tuesday, a source close to Hannity told Independent Journal Review. It’s a stunning development at the network, which has seemingly remained in a constant state of turmoil since the ouster of the late Roger Ailes.

Speculation ran wild earlier this week when the network announced Hannity would be taking a mid-week vacation amid controversy over the host’s promotion of unverified reports suggesting a link between murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich and his alleged contact with WikiLeaks.

Hannity is currently facing threats of advertiser boycotts from liberal groups like Media Matters. Multiple companies have since pulled ads from “Hannity.”

On Wednesday, a spokesman for Fox declared that Hannity is definitely coming back and anybody who says otherwise will “look very foolish” on Tuesday night. Some believe Hannity is mulling an offer from the station-owning behemoth Sinclair Broadcasting, which may be planning to launch a far-right network.
