He seemed content to parrot every one of Hannity's talking points at any rate.

The correct term is the fascist news channel.
I once heard it called farting newts, but think that is being rude to Newts. And flatulence.
Keith Olbermann calls it The Fox Noise Channel.
The thing that amazes me about Fox is how phony it all seems. I can tell it is Fox playing in the background just by the way it sounds, which is like a high school production, with everyone playing a part.
