Found Object: We Coach, You Decide

You may have read about this a couple of weeks ago--a tape, from a source, aired on my radio program, in which Sean Hannity coaches two nurses about to be guests on his Fox TV program about how to respond to the questions of his "liberal" counterpart, Alan Colmes.

In any case, now here's the video of that sequence - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/video/hannity-nurses.mov

I'm sorry, that seemed quite unremarkable to me. What about it was of interest to you?

I must concur, perhaps it would help if we knew what the issue was the nurses were giving testimony about?

Straight out...I despise FOX and Hannity.

He did say though "Nurses are Powerful."

Something is definitely missing though and at the end, one of the nurses (I assume it was a nurse) said in a flustered voice "I wanted to talk about..."

Would love to see the give and take between the nurses, the tv conservative and the tv liberal. spacenurse - if you could find a transcript that would be great (but not a priority)!

My guess is they were talking about Terri Shiavo. Hannity - "how long did you take care of her?" Nurse - "2 1/2 years."

[begalli]

Wait!! I think I get it.

"Throughout Hannity's coverage of the Schiavo story, there were three women Hannity called nurses appearing regularly to discredit Michael Schiavo and give their expert medical testimony about Terri Schiavo's condition."

"On the March 31 installment of the shouting-head show, the guests included two of the late Terri Schiavo's former nurses, Trudy Capone and Carla Sauer Iyer, arguing that their patient wasn't brain-dead."
and more

See why I despise FOX. There is NO WAY that what that show produces can be called balanced and fair news or even journalism. I have more integrity in a single microscopic brain cell than FOX has in it's entirety. It's a bunch of CROCK!

tanks spacey!

don't watch Fox. Reported some very wrong statements about a situation here a few years ago and I lost my appetite for their news then.

[SmilingBluEyes]

It said Sean Hannity and right away, lost all credibility in my book. I can't stand the guy. I listen to FOX news on the radio on occasion to 'balance" out my news exposure. ( I also listen to NPR and Air America Radio and LINK TV). But I have to say, I can't listen to Hannity for 5 minutes.

[SmilingBluEyes]

Cant' access the story anyhow *shrug*

Regarding California Nurses Association President, Debra Burger on the show. It was not a debate. Hannity and Tammy Bruce yelled the whole time. Debra could not get a word in.

TAMMY BRUCE: NO GIRLIE WOMEN

Tammy Bruce will be debating the president of the California Nurses Association on Hannity & Colmes tonight. The Nurses are pouting that Arnold's a 'bully' for calling their unions - gasp - special interests! Tammy's advice:

"If they can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. The feminist movement for decades has worked to have women be treated as equals, not as sniveling cry babies who need to be coddled. And what do the teacher & nurse union operatives do when confronted by politics? They turn into sniveling cry babies. Or perhaps a more appropriate term - Girlie Women."

FOX is to news as McDonalds is to health food.................
