Hannity Says Daily Beast Isn’t Mainstream Media a Year After Calling Them Exactly That
Friday night Fox News host Sean Hannity embroiled himself in a little Twitter battle with Daily Beast writer Olivia Nuzzi. He took a shot at her after she pointed out that she tried to get an interview with Kathleen Willey for a year following Hannity’s interview with three Bill Clinton accusers.
Lol. Olivia you are a liberal columnist for the Daily Beast. You are not the "Mainstream media". Delusional https://t.co/4JJIiF0TZH

Mainstream media would be ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN NYTimes. The woman did confirm the Wash Post today on my radio show. https://t.co/4JJIiF0TZH

Essentially, he was trying to prove the women’s point that they had not been reached out to by any mainstream media outlets. (Though, even discounting the Beast, this has been called into question.)
However, the problem for Sean is that last year, he actually labeled the Daily Beast exactly that.
Which makes Hannity look pretty ridiculous for sending out this tweet.
Ask 1000 people to define the "mainstream media". Good luck finding one that mentions the "beast" #dumbass https://t.co/eYtthZNaVD

Soon after Hannity ridiculed Nuzzi and the Beast, the writer was tipped off that Hannity had actually tossed TDB into the MSM dogpile and rubbed it in his face.
.@seanhannity You previously called The Daily Beast the mainstream media: https://t.co/8aMpdwRqUT

Since Nuzzi’s tweet, Hannity has stopped going after her or the Beast.
