Over the past few weeks Russell Brand, politicised British
comic and actor, has added his voice to the ever-louder shout for the Israeli’s
to stop killing innocent Palestinians in Gaza. Brand is obviously getting his
message across here as well as in the USA. So much so that he has incurred the
wroth of Seán Hannity, a right-wing TV commentator who hosts a cable news show,
Hannity, on Fox News Channel.
Recently, in order to put ‘D-List Actor’, Russell Brand in
his place and counter Brand’s views on the Israeli attacks on Gaza, Hannity
invited a trio of what he expected to be through-and-through true-blue
pro-Israel’s-right-to-bomb-Gaza-out-of-existence commentators onto the show.
Watch how Hannity couldn't even get that right. Also watch
and listen to Brand’s own take on the show:
Why aren't American TV viewers up in arms against this
dangerous fool, Hannity. The man has no qualifications as a news presenter;
he's certainly no idea of journalistic objectivity. He cannot string a coherent
sentence together; nor put forwards an unbiased point of view. The man is rude
and hectoring towards interviewees; and uses cheap constructs such as straw man
fallacies to twist an opponent’s argument.
You would think that Americans had learned a lesson when
they tried to take George Galloway apart at the Senate Hearings he attended
back in 2006. Of course Galloway, in his inimitable style, took those American’s
apart with his wit, argument and articulation.
I dare Seán Hannity to invite Russell Brand onto his show and
attempt to outwit this very astute young man.
