Fox News host Sean Hannity has criticized what he sees as a double standard in media coverage of legal and political matters. On his show "Hannity," he questioned the prevalent use of "whataboutism" by some journalists and Democrats, arguing that it deflects from legitimate concerns about potential discrepancies in the application of justice. Hannity emphasized the importance of equal justice under the law, suggesting that the current climate reflects a two-tiered system where Democrats, Donald Trump, and conservatives face different standards.
Hannity expressed concern about the perceived politicization of the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ), accusing the media of complicity in supporting Democrats regardless of facts or double standards. He specifically called out news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC, NBC, and CBS for allegedly prioritizing a left-wing narrative over objective reporting. He argued that these journalists, who claim to be truth-seekers, often dismiss perspectives that challenge their own biases.
