Hannity angry at treatment by CBS in interview
NEW YORK — Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity is calling on CBS News to release the full tape of his interview with Ted Koppel for “Sunday Morning,” in which the veteran “Nightline” anchor answered “yes” when Hannity asked if Koppel thought he was bad for America.
The exchange between two different generations of television news personalities continued to resonate Monday: It was the lead “hot topic” that hosts of “The View” kicked around on their talk show.
Hannity was interviewed for the Sunday show’s cover story about partisan media, and sensed some unease by Koppel when he discussed his role as an opinion host. Hannity is a fervent supporter of President Donald Trump and has attacked his opponents and traditional media outlets for how they report on the president.
“You’re cynical,” Hannity said.
