Howard Kurtz thinks Sean Hannity is a newsmaker

Pretty much sums up the state of things, no?

Crooks and Liars notes that on CNN's “Reliable Sources” yesterday Kurtz built a conversation around some pointless criticism Sean Hannity had made on TV. CNN guest John Aravosis did a good job pointing out to Kurtz that Hannity, and the completely predictable fact-free attacks he makes on Obama, is irrelevant. Kurtz seemed surprised.

Notes C&L:

I'd like Howard Kurtz to explain to us why anything Sean Hannity says about Democratic politicians or anything in politics is relevant? He's a right wing talking point machine that misquotes and lies at every turn and gets paid millions of dollars to do so, but to Howard, he's relevant. Relevant to whom and/or what?

Ditto.
