I'm thinking in particular of that sports guy, what's his name, Steven somebody? Hannity gushes over that guy, has him on his radio show all the time. I think we've established a new trope....I'm not exactly sure what to call it, but for a start I'll dub it "Flaunting my reasonableness".Actually that doesn't quite capture the mentality that I think is at the root. Perhaps the trope might be more accurately called "Hey everybody, check out how godd**ned reasonable I am!!!"
I think that the owners/managers has made an executive decision to tack to the left which is exemplified by the new 'hires' plus the fact that the ex-conservative commentators have changed their 'tune', a little slightly off key to the 'left'. Britt Hume is a good example. Notice that the ones who refused to tack to the left are gone? Basically, what we have now is the hard right commentators are actually better classified as 'establishment repubs' or rhinos. You have to find better sources because Fox has become corrupted.

I didn't want to believe it but I have come to the unhappy conclusion that what you say is the truth.
Except, Friday night at 10 EST, Erick Boling and Sarah Palin will make a presentationon gas prices, O&G, how we got here and what we can do.
And...remember when Hannity was going on all the time about how BO was really a good guy? Just misguided. Plus John McCain is, as nearly as I can tell, one of his very, very best friends.
