If any other journalist did that they'd be so ridiculously fired.
如果其他记者那样做，他们绝对要卷铺盖走人了。
But Fox News did not fire Hannity.
但《福克斯新闻》并没有解雇汉尼提。
Instead, they said they didn't know he was appearing in the ad and promised that he wouldn't do it again.
反而说他们根本就不知道他在那个广告中露面了，承诺他再也不会那样了。
And since then, the problem has exploded.
从那以后，问题就爆发了。
Hannity now regularly appears at Republican fundraising and campaign events.

And for Ron Desantis in Florida.

"The media hates that I'm here and I'm like 'too bad.'"
“媒体讨厌我出现在这里，觉得我‘太不像话了。’”
But it's not even just Hannity anymore.
问题是，不只有汉尼提有这个问题。
Pete Hegseth, who co-hosts Fox and Friends on the weekend, has repeatedly spoken at GOP fundraisers.

Right after Hannity got pulled on stage at that Trump rally, another Fox host, Jeanine Pirro, also went on stage.
汉尼蒂前脚被拉上特朗普集会的演讲席，另一位福克斯主持人珍妮·皮罗后脚就走了上去。

I'm getting away with it!

The problem goes deeper than Fox hosts appearing at these events.
然而，问题不止福克斯主持人亲自参与那些活动这么简单。
These campaigns are now slowly infecting Fox News programming.
因为这些活动已经慢慢开始影响《福克斯新闻》的内容了。
Before Hannity went onstage at that Trump rally, he went district by district attacking individual Democrats.
在汉尼提走上特朗普集会的演讲席之前，他一个地区接一个地区地攻击了民主党人。
"Liberal radical leftist incumbent Claire McCaskill.

Bob Hugin. Marine. Semper Fi, Bob.

Ted Cruz needs to be back in the U.S. Senate."

It wasn't the first time he'd done that.
这也不是他第一次那么做了。
Hannity had been running that segment for days before the midterms.
中期选举前，汉尼提就已经保持这一姿态保持好几天了。
"We will point out 10 key races a night. So you know if it's your district that matters.

Republican Mark Harris, he needs your help. We need that seat to stay Republican."
共和党人马克·哈里斯，他需要你的帮助。我们需要那个席位来继续维持共和党人的身份。”
And again, it's not just Hannity.
重申一遍，这么做的不仅仅是汉尼提。
"If you call yourself a conservative and a Republican, it's actually immoral not to vote for Donald Trump."
“如果你自称是保守派是共和党人，那你不投票给唐纳德·特朗普就是不道德的。”
"Vote for the America that is great again."
“投给已经再次伟大的美国”。
And the more comfortable Fox has gotten with campaigning, the more GOP candidates are relying on Fox as part of their campaign strategies.
福克斯在竞选中越得心应手，共和党候选人就越依赖福克斯作为他们竞选策略的一部分。
Look at this softball interview Hannity did with GOP candidate Karin Housley in October.
不信你们看汉尼蒂10月份采访共和党候选人卡琳·霍斯利时提的那些问题有多简单。
"Karin Housley is with us. Karin, let's talk about Keith Ellison and the double standard."
“下面我们连线卡琳·霍斯利。卡琳，我们谈谈凯斯·埃里森和双重标准吧。”
"Yeah. Thank you so much for having me, Sean."

What the- That is not a question.
什么鬼！那算哪门子问题啊。
That is a campaign stop. And Housley knew it.
新闻变成了他们的竞选站。这点霍斯利是心知肚明。
She immediately repackaged that interview into a campaign ad.
所以，她立即把那次采访重新包装成了一支竞选广告。
"You can win this race. I believe tha-"

Lots of Republicans do this now.
现在，很多共和党人都搞这一套。
Clip Hannity's softball coverage and repackage it for their campaign.
把汉尼提轻而易举的报道剪辑剪辑，重新包装成他们竞选的武器。
"A former police chief, Eddie Edwards. I'm with the police chief tonight."
“前警察局长埃迪·爱德华兹，今晚我们就来连线这位局长。”
"Republican challenger Wendy Rogers, in a district that President Trump only carried by one point.

By the way good luck in your run for governor down in South Carolina.
顺便说一下，祝你在南卡罗莱纳州州长竞选中好运。
I have a lot of friends down there.
那边我有很多朋友。”
It's become cliche to mock Fox News as Trump TV or state propaganda.
把《福克斯新闻》戏称为特朗普的电视台或是特朗普政府的官方宣传工具早就不新鲜了。
But what's happened over the past few years goes way beyond ideology.
只是，过去几年发生的事情已经远远超出了意识形态的范畴。
"Congressman Desantis joins us now.
“今天我们邀请到了国会议员德桑提斯。
Full disclosure, I did do town halls with him. And I endorsed you and I don't regret it."
坦白说，我确实和他一起去过市政厅。我支持你，支持你我不后悔。”
Fox News is quietly allowing itself to evolve into a massive, highly influential get-out-the-vote operation.
《福克斯新闻》正悄悄地将自己变成一个规模庞大、影响力巨大的动员投票的机构。
"Congressman Desantis, congratulations."
“恭喜恭喜，国会议员德桑蒂斯。”

“我记得，在上完那期福克斯新闻栏目的辩论之后，你就对我说‘你不会再落后太久了。’
And sure enough, I mean, we really pulled ahead."
果然，我们真的领先了。”
The problem isn't that Hannity got on stage at a campaign event.
问题不在于汉尼提在竞选活动中露面。
It's that Fox News is the campaign event.
在于《福克斯新闻》栏目本身已经成了一个竞选阵地。
One that's becoming deeply embedded in the GOP's strategy for winning elections from here on out.
一个即将深深地扎根在共和党今后的选举战略里的竞选阵地。
