Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity says CNN “chose a side” in the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and in a message posted to Twitter Sunday night endorsed a suggestion that CNN be denied media credentials to cover the Trump White House.
When CNN senior media correspondent Brian Stelter noted that Hannity had expressed support for the idea–which also targets The New York Times and The Washington Post–Hannity called Stelter “a (Fox News Channel) stalker and a hypocrite”:
When will @brianstelter investigate CNN collusion with @HillaryClinton and her campaign. Answer; NEVER. He is a FNC stalker. https://t.co/1Iz1F05Agq

Hannity also lashed out at Stelter for describing the reaction of many to Trump’s election as “a national emergency,” saying Stelter “protects his paycheck. He is obsessed with the FNC and gives his corrupt employer a pass. Sold his soul. Zucker’s stenographer.”
