Erik Wemple: Sean Hannity comes face to face with his own corruption

Sean Hannity is a study in certainty. The mainstream media is corrupt. President Donald Trump is a patriot and a fabulous president who has followed through on his campaign promises, despite a deep state dead set on his undoing. Democrats are awful. Absolutism, meet your designated television-news emissary.

A touch of hesitancy, though, crept into the unequivocal voice of Hannity on his Fox News program Wednesday night. It happened during an “interview” — actually the verbal equivalent of native advertising — with Trump, who’s fresh off the news that special counsel Robert Mueller III didn’t establish conspiracy between his presidential campaign and Russia.
