If one family owns the business, it's "small" by this definition, including Koch Industries, owned by the richest billionaires in the nation.
Obama Failed To Reduce the Deficit...or Congress?
In another major example, Hannity harps on Obama's failed "promise" to cut the deficit in half, but deceitfully doesn't tell his audience that Obama called for this level of deficit-reduction not on the campaign trail, but after inauguration, clearly an appeal to get Congress on board with the idea only after voters entrusted him to fix the economy.
Alongside the "Citizens United" campaign ads, carefully pruned 'news' breaks and twisted poll reporting, the malleable Hannity listener believes the rich make jobs because they never hear the basics.
Class War Over US Airwaves
Last month, Hannity hinted billionaires Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson could take retribution on American workers should Obama win. All economists know it's demand that creates jobs. Should Adelson or Wynn close their casinos, smaller casino owners will reap the benefit because the demand for gaming is what drives the industry.
"Public interest" callers to Hannity report years of frustration, being hung up on by call screeners. When they are given air time, they are interrupted, censored and retroactively "dumped out" thanks to Hannity's extra-long delay and secret "squelch" button that literally drowns out their voice.
Even scheduled guests are designed to lose, like former Obama economic advisor Austan Goolsbee. Hannity reads a long list of issues to Goolsbee, but doesn't give him time to answer, laughing like a baboon when Goolsbee tries to speak.
Hannity presents a jovial attitude, but cannot gloss over how he has been "normalizing" propaganda over public airwaves through on-air bullying. Of late, anyone expressing a pro-Obama view is rushed off the air. Especially when they bring up the fact that the economy imploded while Bush was still President, Hannity becomes petulant, fidgety and intolerant.
