Hannity supports the 2nd amendment? since when? He stays so silent on the issue we can hear crickets. Colmes stays pretty silent on the 2nd amendment too, although I've heard him give lip service support to it (while calling for "sensible" gun control of course) which makes him pretty close to the same as hannity when it comes to the 2nd am.
Hannity's show is "event driven." That is, they discuss social/political topics and events that are currently being discussed in the MSM. If a major gun control issue were to come up, it would be discussed, but Hannity, Limbaugh, et al, do not do "topic of the day" type programs. So far there have been really few 2A issues in the news.
Just because Fox
"seems to have a silence policy on the 2nd amendment" doesn't mean they are, or or not, conservative -- it means they, too, don't do a "topic of the day" type program.
BTW, I've
NEVER heard Colmes issue any statement of support for the 2A, and I think I'd be so surprised if he did I might have a heart attack. Juan Williams is a Fox News talking head liberal, and sometimes makes really whacky statements. Same with geraldo Rivera. There are a few others that are the same, but Alan Colmes has really swallowed the kool aid. The guy's totally lib-nutz!
As far as Hannity, I don't listen to him very often, there are other characteristics he has which turn me off about him, but he has supported the right to keep and bear arms on a few of his radio programs I've heard.
I don't think it's really fair to judge a network on the issue based solely (or nearly so) on how often they issue a statement of support for a ceretain Constitutional amendment.
Just for the record, I think Fox has been a fairly conservative network throughout much of its history, and has in recent years brought on more liberals as hosts (like Geraldo & Juan Williams) in an effort to be more even handed. Just
my two cents; YMMV.
