WRIGHT, FAUX & THE WINGNUTS

On his radio show today, Hannity mentioned that he had been "covering" the Pastor Wright controversy for 2 weeks and showed he wasn't done with it when he played an excerpt of Obama's audio book that discussed one of Wright's sermons. As others have noted, FAUX has spent an inordinate amount of time on this Issue for Idiots and PEJ offers some objective proof:

When it came to the percentage of total airtime the cable nets devoted specifically to the Wright/Obama controversy, one network did stand out. While CNN spent 25% and MSNBC devoted 24% of their total news coverage to that subject, the Fox News Channel was considerably more focused on that story. Fox spent 43% of its airtime talking about the Wright/Obama furor last week.
