#11 Sean Hannity
Hannity
Sean Hannity is the host of a Fox News show and a syndicated radio talk show.
More information
With the confidence and bluster that are applauded on cable television (his trademark gesture is a double-barreled finger-wag, usually directed at a guest who disagrees with him), Hannity is a patriotic conservative. His consistent support of President George W. Bush provided a relatively friendly place in the media landscape for the administration's top figures, with Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and others appearing for exclusive interviews at crucial moments. Hannity positions himself as a warrior against the dangers of liberalism, as evidenced by the titles of his books, Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty Over Liberalism and Deliver Us From Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism.
One of his rare deviations from social-conservative orthodoxy is his dissident Catholicism. Though raised Catholic, Hannity, the father of two, admits to using contraception and has said he would convert to Southern Baptism were the Vatican to excommunicate him.
