I'm proud to say I have never heard an original Hannity screed. The secondhand references are enough to drive a sane person wild.

Isn't misinformer just an euphemism for liar?

Right you are Zizzy !
Another euphemistic term would be "prevaricator" which covers the whole gamut from outright lieing to misinforming to what one doesn't say!

Matters for America </EM>has <A href="http://mediamatters.org/issues_topics/tags/sean_hannity" linkindex="12">demonstrated</A> time and
again, Fox News' Sean Hannity has been a prolific and influential
purveyor of conservative misinformation. But never has he so enthusiastically applied
his talents for spreading misinformation as he did to the 2008 presidential
race, focusing his energies primarily on President-elect Barack Obama. Day after
day, Hannity devoted
his two Fox News shows and his three-hour ABC Radio Networks program to "demonizing" the Democratic
presidential candidates, starkly <A href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200808260013?f=s_search" linkindex="13">explaining</A> in August:
"That's my job. ... I led the 'Stop Hillary Express.' By
the way, now it's the 'Stop Obama Express.' " Hannity's "Stop Obama
Express" promoted
and embellished a
vast array of misleading attacks and false claims about Obama. Along the way,
he uncritically adopted and promoted countless Republican talking points and
played host to numerous credibility-challenged smear artists who painted Obama
as a dangerous radical.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mediamatters.org/items/200812170007?f=h_top"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/mediamatters.org/img/005BA530-6254-452A-8837-5AE26BFD2208" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DB416003-8535-42E8-9B10-73CF45297980/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
