Hannity Gets Snubbed by the National Review

[bobabode]

"Fox News Channel star anchor Sean Hannity will no longer receive the conservative Media Research Center's William F. Buckley Award for Media Excellence at its September 21 gala, sources familiar with the situation tell CNN.
Buckley, the founder of the National Review, who died in 2008, was hailed in his day as "arguably the most important public intellectual in the United States." Giving an award in his name to Hannity -- a pugnacious talk radio host who has shared conspiracy theories on his popular cable news show -- had caused hand wringing among some conservatives.

It also caused distress among Buckley's family -- in particular his only child, best-selling author Christopher Buckley.
A source familiar with the situation tells CNN that Christopher Buckley "expressed great dismay" at the announcement that the award would go to Hannity, who has spent a great deal of time insulting conservative intellectuals on Twitter, particularly since he became a strong supporter of Donald Trump."

Poor Sean proceeded to have a twitter meltdown of trumpian proportions in response.

William F. was a snob of the first order.

Firing Line was an excellent show.

Yes. Back when conservative intellectuals engaged in intelligent debate on the tube. Not that the great unwashed ever watched his show, like they don't watch David Brooks today. Only the rabble rousers like Hannity, sigh.
