Sean Hannity on Wednesday night flipped out at the growing criticism of the way that he and other Fox News personalities have covered the coronavirus pandemic.

The Hannity host, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump , said in a lengthy rant that he was thinking of suing the media mob and again accused journalists of playing politics and of using the public health crisis to bludgeon the president politically.

Hannity, who downplayed the threat of the virus for weeks, reserved particular scorn for New York Times opinion writer Kara Swisher, describing her as a far-left media mob maniac after she blamed the networks reporting for her elderly mothers apparent lack of concern about the outbreak.

Well, it sometimes feels like Fox News is eating my mothers brain, Swisher wrote this week in a searing column she directed at Hannity.

Hannity continued his meltdown by attacking The Washington Posts media critic Erik Wemple, calling him Eric Pimple over a column calling for Hannity to be fired.

Hannity claimed hed reported without fear from the very beginning, even though he described the public health crisis as this new hoax and supported Trumps attempts to downplay the seriousness of the pandemic. The TV personality added that he was proud of the work weve done.
