WASHINGTON, DC: In a recent episode of 'Hannity', Fox News host Sean Hannity delivered a passionate critique of what he describes as a "corrupt state-run media mob" intent on influencing the political landscape in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.

His comments come amid growing tensions surrounding the upcoming election and increasing scrutiny of both Harris and former president Donald Trump.

Sean Hannity claims unprecedented favoritism for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump

Sean Hannity asserted that the media's coverage is heavily biased, claiming that while Donald Trump faces a barrage of negative press—reportedly 95% of coverage on certain networks is unfavorable— Kamala Harris enjoys a staggering level of positive reporting, sometimes described as close to 100%.

He argued that this disparity is a deliberate strategy by the media to manipulate public perception and sway the electoral outcome. “Don't let anybody, especially in the corrupt state-run media mob, impact what you want for your country,” Hannity urged his viewers.



 

He expressed concern that the media’s relentless pursuit to undermine Trump is part of a broader campaign to bolster Harris's candidacy. “At this point, the only person that really knows what the outcome is, would be God,” he noted, emphasizing his belief that external influences should not dictate personal political preferences. Hannity declared that the media has been “working overtime” to ensure that Harris is elected and that Trump is defeated “at all costs.”

Sean Hannity links Mark Robinson's allegations to Kamala Harris' campaign strategy

A focal point of his critique was the recent allegations against North Carolina's lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson, which Sean Hannity connected to the Harris campaign’s tactics.

Robinson reportedly made a series of lewd comments over a decade ago, in which he referred to himself as a "black NAZI." He also expressed support for reinstating slavery, according to CNN.

Hannity pointed out that Robinson has been in office for three years without these allegations gaining traction until now, suggesting that the timing is suspect. “It’s odd. He’s been in office for three years and apparently nobody or very few people in North Carolina knew much about any of this,” he said, implying that this represents a strategy to discredit Trump through guilt by association.

Hannity added, “The latest strategy includes the new allegations,” referring to the accusations against Robinson and the media’s role in amplifying them.

He criticized the Harris campaign for attempting to smear Trump over something that “nobody or few people knew about,” asserting that the media’s focus on these allegations serves to further a political agenda.
