Well, how about that.
On Tuesday night Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson actually admitted to the thing they do constantly — spreading bullshit right wing conspiracy theories.
In case you hadn’t heard, the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting have been the victim of several ridiculous claims, including that they’re actually just actors paid to play teenagers.

One such theory pushed by Fox News was that CNN had scripted the students’ questions for their town hall meeting with Marco Rubio and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch.
Sadly, they were helped by a Douglas parent.
Glenn Haab, the father of a teen who submitted a question, sent out a doctored version of an email from CNN — making it seem like they had provided their own question when really they were asking him to shorten the one he had written so more students could get a chance.
Hannity and Carlson, hungry for the chance to discredit the movement these brave teens have started, jumped on the story without proper vetting.
So when Haab admitted to having doctored the email, they were forced to make retractions, something you should savor as it so rarely comes out of Hannity’s face anus. He said:
“Tonight Glenn Haab told the AP that he omitted some words from the email; he says he did not do it on purpose. Therefore what Haab told all news outlets last week was inaccurate. Our job is always to strive for the truth, and we wanted to correct the record.”
Sadly, he didn’t then apologize for making the false statement, “Our job is always to strive for the truth.” But then he could have been stuck on that loop all night.

Carlson’s admission was even more reluctant:
“There is no evidence, as of right now, that CNN tried to give Colton Haab a scripted question.”
“As of right now.” Implying there will be more later because by all means, keep believing the conspiracy. Ugh.
We can’t wait for “fake news” hater Donald Trump to jump all over this as yet another example of the dishonest media not doing its — eh, we’re just kidding! OF COURSE he’s not going to do that for actual twisted, biased reporting!
No, as we know, when it comes to those types of stories he AMPLIFIES them!
