Fox News yanks Sean Hannity from Cincinnati Tea Party rally he was set to star in
Angry Fox News executives ordered host Sean Hannity to abandon plans to broadcast his nightly show as part of a Tea Party rally in Cincinnati on Thursday after top executives learned that he was set to headline the event, proceeds from which would benefit the local Tea Party organization.
...
“Fox News never agreed to allow the Cincinnati Tea Party organizers to use Sean Hannity’s television program to profit from broadcasting his show from the event," said Bill Shine, the network’s executive vice president of programming. "When senior executives in New York were made aware of this, we changed our plans for tonight’s show.”
That's some serious tea fizzle right there. Last year, Fox was doing anything and everything to take ownership of the teabagging movement. This year, they've been far more subdued. It's not like Fox has been ignoring teabagging day, but after a year of rough riding for the teabaggers, Fox is clearly more concerned about negative blowback from their association with the tea party now than they were this time last year.
