While the rest of the networks were reporting on the latest news on the Mueller probe and the bombshell op-ed in The New York Times from Fusion GPS, ripping apart the Republicans in Congress for covering up for Trump and his associations with Russian money launderers, here's what your Crazy Uncle Liberty (h/t Driftglass) was being treated to over on state-run TV.
Fox cheerleader and number one fan-boy Sean Hannity used his opening monologue to heap praise on Dear Leader for his "list of accomplishments" that the rest of the media is supposedly ignoring.
Here's the list that ran across the screen as Hannity told his viewers what a great president Trump has been while ignoring any of the economic gains he inherited from President Obama and completely ignoring the damage that a good deal of these so-called "accomplishments" are gong to cause, along with the fact that many of them are based on lies:

Hannity also did his best to assure his viewers that everything is going to be just fine for the midterm elections if they just follow Dear Leader off of a cliff and destroy what's left of the Affordable Care Act and help Trump fulfill his campaign promise to build his ridiculous border wall.
From Fox's blog: Hannity: Media 'Experts' Who Got It Wrong in 2016 Now Predict Dem Landslide in 2018:
Sean Hannity said President Trump's leadership throughout 2017 has created a "blueprint for victory" in the 2018 midterms.
Hannity said Trump's policies created 1.7 million new jobs and cut 16 regulations for every new one added to the federal code.
He added that Trump's Twitter usage has kept his critics occupied, referencing the most recent missives from Tuesday that riffed on the North Koreans' claim of a "nuclear button" and that announced an upcoming "fake news" awards decided by the New Yorker himself. [...]
Hannity said Trump has baffled some in the media with his success, pointing to a recent CBS report that interviewed several taxpayers.
Hannity said the taxpayers, who came from Rhode Island, North Carolina and California, had their tax liabilities sent to an accountant who later told them they would see tax decreases.
"[That] didn't come out the way [the media] expected," Hannity said. "These are the same experts who said President Trump didn't stand a chance."
To realize his "blueprint for victory," Hannity said Trump must goad the GOP into "getting their identity back," building several hundred miles of the Mexican border wall and completing the repeal of ObamaCare.
Hannity also took time to criticize several media analysts who continue to criticize the president in light of these victories.
