More awards! Media Matters has named Sean Hannity its 2008 Misinformer of the Year.
Along with the accolade, the organization has composed a 4,500-word treatise detailing the various ways that Hannity has earned his prize. (Calling Barack Obama the country’s “most liberal Senator”! Saying Obama wants to cut defense spending, when Obama specifically said he wanted to cut wasteful spending! Saying Obama used our troops as PR tools! Calling Michelle Obama racist! Et cetera!) Media Matters has cited, by my count, thirty examples of erroneous, biased, or otherwise misleading reporting from Hannity. From this year.
So: Congrats, Sean! You deserve it!
