"Sources with links to the justice department report that Fox News is under an FBI counterintelligence investigation for co-ordinating with the Kremlin in broadcasting propaganda.

Specifically, Sean Hannity is on signals intelligence co-ordinating his pro-Trump message with organs of the Russian state, such as RT, Sputnik, Wikileaks and Julian Assange. However, emails co-ordinating messaging with registered agents of the Russian state are said to exist from more shows than that of Sean Hannity.

Furthermore, sources familiar with the matter say that the FBI is actively considering a referral to the FCC, in addition to any criminal prosecutions that may result for individuals not registering under FARA for coordinating with official agents of the Russian state."

You think he knew those were state run? Or was he just stupid like Crankit with his constant links to RT thinking that it was a valid news source?

I can pretty much assure you that you have once again been duped by fake news. Sean Hannity can coordinate with anyone he pleases to get information that he presents. The First Amendment pretty much allows that.

This mass hysteria is interesting to watch.

Yes, the first amendment allows him to say what he wants, a private citizen can legally collude with our enemies (when we are not at war) to tell any lies he wants.

Being outed as in league with the enemy would have meant career death to a broadcaster in saner times, before most of the Republican party lost it's mind and sense of patriotism, but now it's probably seen as just more proof that the dude is firmly on your and Putin's team.

But FCC and FARA rules may have been broken.

Maybe.

I don't know how FARA is written or how the courts have handled it so maybe not.

I'd err toward letting the media do as it pleases just with disclosure of the dodgy sources when it pulls shit like this. "Hey everybody, FOX is just rebroadcasting Castro's press releases".

I've been watching some Hannity in small doses, and he's in rare form. I hadn't considered fear as a possible aggravating factor.

Maybe he knows that is a matter of time before he's exposed as a traitor. He's been attacking the straight news people on Faux too.

I agree RT.

Sean Hannity is losing it.

He has become the Voice of Moscow.

FBI wouldn't be involved in such a thing. Thus, fake news, most likely.

As I have forthrightly admitted, Putin is paying me to post pro-Russian propaganda on this forum. Perfectly legal and the $10,000 a month that Vlad pays me comes in handy.

Nah, I was in Europe on vacation. Try to stay away from business while on vacation, which is why I didn't post on NSR while I was away.

Oh hell no! The problem is the opposite, actually. Since Russia is no longer communist and threatening to nuke us, they are now enemies. They loved the USSR back in the day. That's why they want to bring it back to life here in the USA.

Hannity wasn't just getting his "news" from Russia, he was coordinating it with them to disseminate it at the same time for the mass effect. That's miles away from exercising the right to free speech with the Bill of Rights and Constitution toilet paper that gets used and then made into his teleprompter script.

No it isn't.  That's a ridiculous statement. Russia is paying me for coordinating with it and disseminating it's propaganda on NSR. There it is - a confession in writing. Go ahead and call the FBI about my treason. I am sure that FBI agents like a good laugh as much as anyone.

Then there is the fact that Hannity wasn't doing that. But, given the prog hysteria of late, I wouldn't expect you to believe that. Basically, if anyone mentions Russia and a conservative/Republican in the same sentence, you nuts will believe the claim no matter how outlandish the claim is.

You are wondering what "you nuts will believe?"

I cannot believe our President went to go speak to Putin, asked him if he hacked us twice and said he believed when Putin said no.

I cannot believe that our President then proposed partnering with the Russians, after acknowledging that they did hack us, on a cyber security unit where we "share" intel.

I cannot believe that MAGA shitheads believe that this just fine and joke about treason like that could minimize what I just said I can't believe.

Russia now being a oligarchical kleptocracy (that is still threatening to nuke us) makes them a more dangerous enemy than they were as feckless communists. I don't think Che was a Russian mobster.
