And there is widespread evidence that Rupert Murdoch\u2019s sons, who now run its day-to-day operation, are fully committed to permanently wiping away its conservative programming.<\/p>\n<p>#StandWithSean, an effort led by <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SScalpings\">StopTheScalpings<\/a> Co-founder Melanie Morgan, is continuing its efforts to stand by Hannity while he is under fire.

Hannity has told me personally that he is making some strategic moves, and this has to do with the Seth Rich murder case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSean Hannity is one smart, wily, fierce fighter.
