Ex-Klingon director calls Hannity a ‘true propagandist'
[The Hill] A former director of the CIA under President George W. Bush writes that Fox News host Sean Hannity is a "true propagandist."
Michael Hayden, who led the CIA under Bush from 2006 to 2009, told Brookings Institution senior fellow Benjamin Wittes in an email sent over the weekend that "Hannity has entered the pantheon of a true propagandist."
"And his behavior reminds me of a conversation I had with a political office in the mid-1980s when I was an air attaché to Bulgaria," he continued.
"I asked this officer what truth was to him," Hayden said. "He responded without hesitation, "Truth is what serves the party." And there you have it."
Hayden was responding to a Hannity tweet on Friday praising WikiLeaks under the hashtag #freejulianassange and #freeinternet.
