Hannity Interview Goes Hilariously Wrong

"Thanking U.S. President Barack Obama for deciding to send “humanitarian aid” to the Yezidi people is apparently something you should avoid as a guest on Sean Hannity‘s radio show.

Yezidi Human Rights Organization chairman Mirza Ismael called into the show Monday afternoon and spent several minutes explaining the horrors faced by minorities as ISIS forces push further into Iraq and reportedly kill many Christians and Kurdish groups. Towards the end of his call, however, Ismael thanked the president for deciding to send U.S. military aid to his hometown, prompting some swift pushback from Hannity.

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.

We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.

The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
