In a bold show of loyalty, Fox News host Sean Hannity delivered high praise for President Donald Trump during Friday’s prime-time broadcast—just hours after Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox’s parent company, NewsCorp, and its founder, Rupert Murdoch.
While the liberal media focused on smearing Trump, Hannity zeroed in on what truly matters to everyday Americans: soaring inflation, rising taxes, border security failures, and the fight to expose the deep state. The conservative host commended President Trump for standing firm, achieving real results, and putting America First.
But what made headlines across the media landscape went unmentioned on the show: President Trump’s legal action against the Wall Street Journal and several of Murdoch’s top executives. The lawsuit centers on a salacious article that accused Trump of sending disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein a “bawdy” birthday message in 2003—claims the president calls defamatory and politically motivated.
The lawsuit charges that Trump’s warning not to publish the false story was ignored, further proving how the liberal press will stop at nothing to tear down a president who actually delivers for the American people.
Instead of addressing the legal drama directly, Hannity focused on Trump’s trail of victories—both past and present. He called Trump’s leadership “the single most consequential presidency of our lifetime,” listing accomplishments on tariffs, economic growth, immigration enforcement, and crushing radical leftist agendas.
Hannity’s program featured guests like constitutional expert Horace Cooper, who stated, “We are witnessing the beginning of a new American golden era under President Trump.” Cooper joked that victories are happening so fast, “there’s barely time to celebrate one before another lands.”
Viewers also heard from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who echoed Trump’s concerns about deep state interference during his first term. She warned of entrenched bureaucrats undermining elected leaders—just as many believe happened with the now-debunked Russia collusion narrative.
Adding to the media reckoning, Hannity took aim at CBS and left-wing comedian Stephen Colbert, whose late-night show was canceled after plummeting ratings and backlash over partisan attacks on Trump. The cancellation followed a $16 million settlement paid by CBS’ parent company, Paramount, in a lawsuit Trump filed over an allegedly manipulated 60 Minutes interview.
Trump, clearly energized by these legal victories, posted on Truth Social before Hannity’s show aired: “Everyone should watch Sean Hannity tonight. He really gets it!”
And Hannity didn’t disappoint. With the liberal media distracted by tabloid gossip and character assassination, the conservative icon focused on what really matters—freedom, truth, and results.
While others retreat under pressure, Trump continues to lead with boldness. His willingness to challenge corporate media giants like NewsCorp sends a strong message: no one is above accountability, not even billion-dollar media empires.
For patriotic Americans tired of media spin, selective outrage, and shadowy smear campaigns, President Trump’s fight is their fight too.
