The Sean Hannity freakout lacks perspective

Crowded news cycles are business as usual in the era of Donald Trump, but this past week has been one of the most jam-packed in a while. Even Sean Hannity is newsworthy now.

Since it was revealed Monday afternoon that Hannity was a client of Michael Cohen, the president’s longtime lawyer, many in the media were gripped. It’s a big story because Hannity has a large audience, and while covering the Cohen story, he never disclosed his own ties to Cohen. (My colleague, Becket Adams, tackled the problems with that here.)
