Umphathi weFox News uSean Hannity ukwangumthengi kaMichael Cohen, igqwetha likaMongameli uDonald Trump.UNICHOLAS KAMM / AFP / imifanekiso kaFetty Ubulungisa obubi buqhwabe umlomo u-Sean Hannity ejonge entloko izihlandlo ezibini ngoMvulo. Kuqala, kwinkundla yomanyano, iFox News yokuqala yeenkwenkwezi-ngokuchasene nentando yakhe-yavezwa njengomthengi wezomthetho kaMichael Cohen, umlungisi ongenamikhono kaMongameli uDonald Trump ngoku ophantsi kophando lomdibaniso.
Emva koko, uHannity wothuka kumabonwakude wakhe nguAlan Dershowitz. Unjingalwazi wezomthetho waseHarvard uxelele uHannity ukuba bekufanele ukuba utyhile ubudlelwane bakhe obusemthethweni noCohen kwiveki ephelileyo, xa ebemkhusele ngomsindo uCohen emva kokuba iiarhente zombuso zigqibe uCohen eNew York.
U-Hannity kumele ukuba waziva enesanti. Uzamile ukuseta iDershowitz ngombuzo owahlukileyo malunga ne-Hannity gripe engapheliyo malunga ne-anti-Trump dossier ehlanganiswe ngumhloli-ntloko wase-Bhritane uChristopher Steele kwiphulo lika-2016. Kodwa uDershowitz wabhala isicatshulwa sakhe.
Ewe kuqala, Sean, ndifuna ukuthi ndicinga ukuba kufanelekile ukuba ubuchazile ubudlelwane bakho noCohen xa wawuthetha ngaye kulo mboniso, utshilo uDershowitz.
Emva kwamagama ambalwa ngaphezulu kwemizuzwana embalwa, uHannity ophazamisekileyo waphazamiseka wazama ukunikezela.
Wena-wena-uyayiqonda imeko yayo, uprofesa? Utshilo uHannity. Ndiza kujongana nale nto kamva kumdlalo.
Loo nto inomdla. Uninzi lwemiboniso kwiindaba zekhebula-nkqu nakwiFox-yayijongana nayo ngaphezulu kweHannity. Kwaye le yayiyi-19thUmzuzu womboniso wemizuzu engama-60. Ngokuqinisekileyo, uHannity wahlekisa ngalo mbandela ngokufutshane kuvulo lomboniso. Kodwa akayikhathalele kwaphela imeko yokuziphatha yokungaphumeleli kwakhe ekuhleni malunga namaqhina akhe kule ndoda ayikhuselayo.
Khange afike ukuxoxa ngoCohen kude kube ngama-58thUmzuzu, emva kokuzilolonga ngokuzonwabisa kokulunywa kwesandi kubonise abanye abasasazi abaninzi bethetha igama elithi Hannity. Emva koko uHannity waphindaphinda iingxelo ezinamathanga ukusuka emva kwemini malunga nendlela uCohen angazange ammele ngayo kwimicimbi yezomthetho.
Andizange ndifumane i-invoyisi, utshilo uHannity. Andizange ndihlawule uMichael Cohen ngeentlawulo zomthetho. Ndakhe ndaneengxoxo ezimfutshane, ezimfutshane kunye noMichael Cohen-ligqwetha elihle-malunga nemibuzo yezomthetho… Iingxoxo zam noMichael Cohen azange ziphakame ziye nakweyiphi na inqanaba endandifuna ukuxelela nabani na ngalo…
Kukho isigqebelo apha ngayo yonke le-talkin 'yomthetho ebandakanya uHannity. Ngaphezulu kweminyaka engamashumi amabini, uHannity uguqule iyure yakhe yeFox waba yinkundla yephiko lasekunene le-kangaroo, kunye no-Hannity njengomtshutshisi okhohlakeleyo obuza imibuzo elayishwe nge-innuendo ejijekileyo kunye ne-insinuation elahlekisayo.
Kwimeko yomdlalo wamanqindi, uHannity ngumzobi wexabiso eliphantsi kunye ne-sucker-puncher obetha ezantsi kwebhanti nasemva kwentsimbi yokuxhasa ubuhlanga obumhlophe, abaxhaphazi bobutyebi bezemali, abangcolisi bendalo esingqongileyo kunye nemfazwe.
Ulungile kwinto ayenzayo. Ukulinganisa kwakhe kukhokelela kuzo zonke iindaba zekhebula, uninzi lwamaxesha, nangona uRachel Maddow ekwi-MSNBC ukubetha kuye kwinyanga ephelileyo ngentsimbi yethoba. iyure kubaphulaphuli bebonke kunye nakwinani eliphambili labantu.
Ngoku kuyaziwa ukuba iHannity inobuhlobo obusondeleyo nabantu ababini abaphantsi kophando lomdibaniso-uCohen noTrump- mhlawumbi uHannity angalifumana ithuba lokufunga ngesifungo ngokwakhe ebhayibhileni ukungqina ngenyaniso, yonke inyani, kwaye ingeyinyani ngaphandle kwenyaniso kwigumbi lenkundla okanye, mhlawumbi, kwikomiti yenkongolo.
Ngomoya oyinyani wokubuza kukaHannity kuFox, nantsi imibuzo embalwa ekufuneka uHannity ayiphendule phantsi kwesigwebo sobuxoki:
- Mnu Hannity, Mnu Cohen uthi ligqwetha lakho. Awuthethi kakhulu. Ngubani oxokayo, nguwe okanye nguye?
- Mnu. Hannity, ubonakala ngathi ucebisa ukuba uMnu Cohen angakunika ingcebiso ngezindlu. Ngokunikwa iiparameter zokuthengiswa kwezindlu kunye nomhlaba kuphando lukaTrump, ngaba wakha wenza naziphi na izivumelwano zokuthengiswa kwezindlu nomhlaba ukuze ubeke imali eninzi kwizigangi zaseRussia?
- Mnu. Hannity, ngaba wazisile abaphathi bakho beFox ukuba unxibelelene nomxholo webali eliphambili leendaba, okanye ngaba ubufihlile kubo? Ngaba ucinga ukuba baya kukumisa? Ngaba ucinga ukuba uya kugxothwa? Ewe okanye hayi, Mnu. Hannity. HAYI OKANYE EWE!!
- UMnu Hannity, uRachel Maddow kwi-MSNBC ukubetha ngo-Matshi, entloko ukuya entloko, kumanqaku. In that you are such an tough, strong, macho guy oqhayisa ngobungcali kwezobugcisa bokulwa, ngaba ubuncinci uneentloni zokuba ubethwa ngempundu ngumfazi?
- Mnu. Hannity, uhlala usitsho ukuba awuyontatheli kwaye ubuntatheli bufile. Ngoku ukuba inkohliso yakho yenziwe esidlangalaleni, awuyi kuzifihla, ngaba ungasemva kwesiHlomelo sokuQala?
- Mnu. Hannity, iminyaka usebenze kunye nobuhlobo obucebile, obunamandla ngokwesini njengoDonald Trump, uBill O'Reilly noRoger Ailes. Kwaye, ngoMvulo, ubonakala ngathi ulumkile ukuba uthethe-ngaphandle kokuthetha njalo-ukuba ubuhlobo bakho noMnumzana uCohen abubandakanyi nzuzo kubalingisi beefilimu ezingamanyala okanye kumantombazana okufihla imicimbi yezesondo efana naleyo ayiphetheyo uMnu. Cohen ubuncinci elinye ikati elinamafutha e-Republican sleaze ibhola. Ngaba uqinisekile ukuba akazange ahlawule nabasetyhini ukuba bagcine imilomo yabo ivaliwe ngawe?
- Umnumzana Hannity, njengokuba usazi, uMnu.Trump uyayonwabela intetho egumbini lokutshixa malunga nemicimbi yesondo, uyazi, phakathi kwe-fellas, heh-heh-heh. Ngokuba udliwanondlebe noMnumzana Trump amaxesha amaninzi kwaye ukuncomile ngobuchule bakho bokubuza imibuzo, ungasixelela, emva kodliwanondlebe nomongameli, uyatshica okanye uginye?
Njengoko unokulindela, zombini i-CNN kunye ne-MSNBC zigubungele ihlazo likaHannity ngaphezulu kweFox. Kwi-CNN I-AC-360 kunye noAnderson Cooper , Umgcini wezinto zosasazo uBrian Stelter wazibuza ngelifa likaHannity.
Kwiminyaka engama-30 okanye engama-40, ngaba uHannity nabantwana bakhe baya kuzingca ngendlela aphathe ngayo lo mzuzu kubomi baseMelika? Wabuza uStenter. Qho ebusuku behlasela i-FBI, behlasela (uMcebisi oKhethekileyo uRobert) Mueller, behlasela (owayesakuba nguMlawuli we-FBI uJames) u-Comey… Ngaba uya kuzingca ngeli linge lokudiliza amaziko ethu eMelika?
Kwi-MSNBC's Zonke kwi , umphathi uChris Hayes wayebonakala emnandi kwaye engakwazi ukugcina uncumo ebusweni bakhe. Omnye wabanikeli bakhe, uEmily Jane Fox, uchaze imeko enzima enkundleni ngaphambi kokuba uHannity abonakaliswe.
Inqaku lokwenyani elinje, utshilo. Amandla egumbini ayengathi aza kudubula yonke inkundla.
Ngeyure elandelayo, uMaddow-encumile-wacaphula ingxelo ebhaliweyo evela ku-NBC kaTom Winter malunga negama likaHannity kwangoko.
Abo bahlanganisene kwigumbi lenkundla bakhamisile, wafunda. Imilomo yeentatheli yawa phantsi. Abanye babetsala nzima ukuba bangahleki.
Uncumo lwaluqhutywa ngo-10 ebusuku. iyure apho uLawrence O'Donnell, umphathi we ILizwi lokugqibela , wamkele undwendwe oluqhelekileyo uMichael Avenatti, igqwetha likaStormy Daniels. Ungomnye wabahlobo bakaTrump bezesondo ukusuka kwixesha elidlulileyo.
U-Avenatti-ngamanye amaxesha obaxa kwaye abenombono-wayenokuxelwa kwangaphambili ngo-Hannity, owanyanzelisa ukuba uMvulo unelungelo lokuba nemfihlo. Umlo wokugcina igama likaHannity liyimfihlo wenziwa ngamagqwetha kaTrump ngesicelo sikaHannity. Yintoni abanokuyifihla?
Umhlaba wakhe uqhume nje, utshilo u-Avenatti ngoHannity. Akukho mbuzo engqondweni yam ukuba kukho enye okanye ngaphezulu amaxwebhu anegama likaSean Hannity kuwo uMichael Cohen angafuni kuchazwa.
