War & Peace Quote by Sean Hannity

"With guests who are 'in the middle of the fight,' we're able to hear their point-of-view on the topics, as well as advance our own feelings"

About this Quote

Hannity’s phrasing turns “the middle of the fight” into a credential, a way of laundering partisan combat as authenticity. It’s not that guests are informed; they’re embedded. The metaphor does quiet work: it frames politics as a perpetual frontline where neutrality is naïve and distance is suspect. If you’re not “in” it, you don’t count. That’s a familiar move in modern media, where proximity to conflict is sold as truthiness and outrage is treated like evidence.

The second half is the reveal: “hear their point-of-view” sits politely beside “advance our own feelings,” as if journalism and emotional reinforcement are co-equal obligations. “Feelings” is doing tactical softening here. It’s a disarming word that makes advocacy sound like personal sincerity rather than agenda. Subtext: the program isn’t primarily a venue for discovery; it’s a vehicle for validation, where guests function as narrative ammunition and the audience’s affective loyalties are the product being serviced.

Context matters. Hannity rose in an era when cable news rewarded heat, not light: a format built around conflict, identity, and nightly moral sorting. This quote reads like a mission statement for the post-objectivity talk-show ecosystem: curate combatants, extract their POV, and fold it into a house view that “advances” the tribe’s emotional certainties. The intent isn’t to broker understanding across differences; it’s to keep the fight legible, personalized, and winnable.
