I recall reading a bit of the book “Liars And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them” by Al Franken.
He wrote about how the Fox News programme Hannity and Colmes - which was advertised as a show which gave “balance” between the “conservative” Hannity and the “liberal” Colmes, was set up specifically as a punching bag exercise on “liberals”.
Colmes was handpicked as a presenter because he was a nervous speaker, got easily flustered and looked gaunt, like somebody with about two weeks left to live.
Hannity looked like Rambo. HANNITY portrayed STRENGTH, MORAL CLARITY, and CONFIDENCE. He TOLD IT LIKE IT WAS. As they say.
In the book the word HANNITY was written in large, bold, CAPITAL LETTERS while the world colmes was written in tiny, faint, micro font, barely even legible in a way that I can’t fully demonstrate with the limited font choices here.
Brid is the designated colmes on the Brendan O’Connor Show. Dan O’Brien is HANNITY.
colmes was soon ditched as a presenter and the show became simply HANNITY.
