No, really EW, what’s the accusation? The article points to no impropriety. Attacks like yours actually help partisans like Hannity & Maddow et al gain favor. Then again, I reluctantly admit SH’s show has moved from laughably-bad up to coherent via chronicling anti-Trump hysteria

Potential section 8 fraud related to Ben Carson.

Nope. The report simply puts their names together. Nothing else. You guys are so silly. Hannity is a fool bc of what he says on the air. Isn’t that enough? Instead you state what you *wish* to be true & the hollow attacks 1) make him a victim & 2) discredit substantive critiques

What you wish to be true may end up being true of course, because anything’s possible. But this strategy of jumping the gun on any twinkle of scandal may be a boon to MSNBC/Fox/CNN ratings & @emptywheel follower counts; but keep this crap up and we’ll have another 4 yrs of Trump

I was just pointing out what the potential assertions of impropriety may be, but thank you for putting 480 characters of words in my mouth. It's erosion of trust in ethics and the general assault on norms - especially by Fox News and the Trump Administration - underlying this.
