The divide is also enforced in guest booking.
Seb Gorka, sources confirmed, was banned from the network’s hard news programs. The former Trump official isn’t the only one:
Sara Carter, Hannity’s go-to reporter on the deep state, is also barred from the news side of Fox.
Carter appears on Hannity almost nightly to promote the reporting on her eponymous website. She is customarily introduced by Hannity as an “investigative reporter.” Fox News executives have asked Hannity to stop using this title on the grounds that Carter’s reporting is not vetted, and passes none of the network’s editorial guidelines. Hannity has responded to this feedback by repeatedly referring to Carter as an investigative reporter during her appearances. It’s hard to overstate how little Hannity cares about Fox News leadership, with which he rarely interacts.
And they’re perfectly content to leave him and his $35 million contract alone. One of the prevailing dynamics that has settled in as Fox News entered its post-Ailes era is that Hannity is untouchable.
His ratings success and ability to avoid controversy (he’s sandwiched between outrage magnets Carlson and Ingraham) has allowed Hannity to operate in his own bubble within the network — he’s often content to film the show from his Long Island compound. Producers ask only for one thing: that his seemingly endless opening monologue (last night’s clocked in at 16 minutes) last longer. Ratings drop at its conclusion, sources said.
