Sean Hannity has probably had the Riot Act read to him in meeting with Fox's Marxist executives.
Must be driving him crazy that the FCC didn't approve the Sinclair acquisition of Tribune/Tronc.
The big cheeses at Sinclair have been quietly courting a bunch of conservative celebs for their lineup, if their "major broadcaster" status ever gets a green light.
Hannity's got a clamp around his throat.
So do all his usual "guests", no doubt.
Fox isn't interested in being the conservative option anymore.
I hope their Nielsens tank as a result.
Earlier dig on Claire McCaskill & hubby Joseph Shepard didn't take off, but POTUS tweeted about them earlier this week, and she's showing up in my Twitter feed:

WHETHER OR NOT CLAIRE MCCASKILL KNEW all of the grisly details about her current husband’s sordid and repugnant past when she married him, she is clearly displaying a trend of extremely poor – at best – judgment regarding whom she chooses to associate with, and in what capacity.
Her first marriage, to the late David Exposito, lasted until 1995 – one year after he was arrested on a Kansas City-area gambling boat for possession of marijuana. Both the arrest and the divorce occurred while McCaskill was serving as Jackson County, MO Prosecutor – a fact which opened up McCaskill to some long-deserved, but luckily-avoided, suspicion regarding possible drug use of her own.
This suspicion was piqued when a woman named Ruth Carter, who was working in McCaskill’s Independence, MO office, came under suspicion by the Drug Task Force for possibly “making and selling drugs.” On March 25, 1994, “officers raided [Carter’s] Independence home, where they found Meth in her bedroom and remnants of a lab in the basement,” according to the Kansas City Star.
According to a special report by Kansas City’s KCTV 5 News (video below), “drug investigators began looking into McCaskill just after Carter's arrest, …a detective in Eastern Jackson County asked for FBI help on Claire McCaskill in 1995,… and federal authorities spent 4 years in the mid to late 1990s investigating whether she used illegal drugs." U.S. Attorney Stephen Hill even “took the extraordinary step in late 1997 of authorizing a 'Pen Trap' on McCaskill's home phone to collect the phone numbers of those calling or being called.”
When pressed on this, as well as on her knowledge of the investigations into Ruth Carter and personal friend Anna Wiggins, McCaskill repeatedly gave contradictory answers – especially regarding Wiggins, the investigation of whom McCaskill has claimed to have had no knowledge, in spite of police officers alleging that McCaskill instructed them not to investigate Wiggins, nor to bring her in for questioning.
In response to questions from the Kansas City Star (6/29/04) about the discrepancies between her statements and those of police, McCaskill blamed it all on the cops, saying that she “got along with most police officers,” but that “there are some cowboys, and there were some people that resented the fact that I was the woman in charge and that I had the kind of power I had.”
