Sean Hannity is a propagandist and is in no position to point fingers when it is his viewers/listeners, along with the rest of Fox News and Right Wing talk radio, that continues to create an audience that is among the most poorly-informed.

Hannity's message to the press: You've been exposed as fake
A Rare mainstream piece, Sean Hannity exposes CNN as fake news. And he hit them where it hurts, ouch. There are still some good reporters in mainstream media. It(MSM) is not completely discredited, least not yet.
However, i'm still surprised mainstream would air this piece.
DIsclaimer: I'm not for Fox News , however; sometimes they do speak out the truth. Characters like Bill Reilly (Who I used to find annoying, still do find him annoying but its lessened now since he covered George Soros.) And Sean Hannity, who in my opinion has been doing a good job as of late by covering some truth that other media outlets refuse to report on. They May have their moments of common sense. (Unless it is a legit source of alternative media which many of us have been forced into relying on.)

Sean Hannity has been doing a very nice job lately of pointing out the Clinton corruption and hypocrisy of the entire left wing establishment. That isn't poorly informed at all, it is empowered.
But then it does disagree with your views so that's why they are "poorly informed" It's the same line the leftists use whenever people don't think like them.
I'm unaware of proposed laws to silence climate change denial, so I cannot comment. However "outrage" in response to climate change denial? Easy. People are free to passionately deny it. Others are free to passionately disagree. This is called discourse and there's nothing wrong with it.
Again, I denigrate anti-vaccers because I disagree with them - which does not inhibit in any way their freedom to speak their opinions.
Same song, different verse. Again. Nobody is stopping anyone from rejecting Islam. They are merely commenting upon it.
I have seen a ton of opinions about Islam that I would categorically call out as uninformed or bigoted.
However there are legal exceptions to the First Amendment and slander / libel is on the list of things not covered by it.
It's no different than you making rules about your own home.
but there seems to be a misconception going around that "Freedom of Speech" equals "Freedom from response or criticism" and that is simply not the case.
Anyone is free to say just about anything they want ( short of libel, slander, threats of violence or expressions of criminal intent, incitement to riot and fomenting insurrection
It's the foundation of a free society. Without it? Well without it we're North Korea with more land and fancier cars.

I just speak my mind about reality and I don't mind being frank about it either. Sometimes the truth hurts. Deal with it.

Why are you so triggered? I wasn't even talking to you in that post.
Just for a clarification, this was not an attack against you. This is just an example.
