Fox News’ Sean Hannity completely shot himself in the foot on Thursday as he once again tried going on the attack against the media.
Earlier this morning, NBC released a report stating that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is mobilizing the Justice Department to re-examine Hillary Clinton‘s level of connection to the 2010 Uranium One deal. Hannity has devoted a ton of coverage to this topic on his show for the last several weeks, so naturally, he was only too happy to tweet out a report that the “fake news” media would supposedly never cover.
Hey fake news @CNN and conspiracy tv @NBCNews read and learn. https://t.co/LcIp3BieHC

There’s just one little problem with Hannity’s tweets….Can you see what it is? These guys did:
No self-own quite like tweeting an NBC story in a ham-fisted attempt to shame NBC into covering something. https://t.co/YUqJD3z3ii

Dear @seanhannity, thank you for promoting an @NBCNews piece. We appreciate your support. If you are looking for some good background on Uranium One, your @FoxNews colleague @ShepNewsTeam did a superb explainer a couple of months ago. https://t.co/bUgLgkmmhW
