Mediaite reports:
Sean Hannity opened his show tonight with a full-scale tear against Media Matters and other liberal media figures putting pressure on his show’s advertisers in response to his coverage of Roy Moore‘s underage sex abuse scandal.
In tonight’s monologue, Hannity slammed into MMfA for being “anti-free speech,” “pro-censorship” and leading a “smear campaign” against him. Hannity connected this to the political press by raving about how anyone who doesn’t follow the line of “left wing, destroy-Trump mainstream media” will be targeted by “liberal fascism.”
I just want to be clear: Media Matters never took @seanhannity out of context. His “mispoken” statements were not what we shared with advertisers. Instead, what I shared with advertisers was Hannity undermining and maligning the women that spoke out.

Sean Hannity’s Fox News show right now. Apparently, I have been exposed. (Of Note: I am gay. And, my husband/partner of 14 years is Jewish) pic.twitter.com/LFaG4HxC2V

Also, I can say with complete certainty: Media Matters does not bots. Hannity is literally just making that up. But advertisers aren’t buying it. They know he is volatile and bad for business.
