To the editor:
President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen was forced to reveal that Fox News host Sean Hannity has been one of his clients, a revelation that was followed by a loud outcry that Hannity has breached journalistic ethics by not revealing this conflict of interest. ("Judge orders Trump lawyer Michael Cohen to reveal a secret client: Sean Hannity," April 16)
The problem is that Hannity is not a journalist but an entertainer. His show, which attracts Trump fanatics in possession of their own "truth," is a protracted puff piece for the president.
As opposed to an objective journalist, Hannity has all the credibility of a carnival barker. Why even bother to insinuate that he is anything else?
