US Fox News presenter Sean Hannity this week dedicated a segment on his TV show to verbally abusing singer/songwriter Ryan Adams.
The pair had been engaged in a Twitter feud recently, but Hannity took things one step further when he publicly slammed the US star.

Adams begun the fued, tweeting on Monday 5 August "Your entire soul is controlled by fear and by hate. Evolve little chicken man. See reality."
Hannity responded, inviting Adams on his show, which Ryan Adams declined on Twitter.
Hannity then dedicated a section on his show, to criticising Adams on air.
"Singer-songwriter-- by the way, you probably don’t know him, he’s not that popular-- Ryan Adams," said Hannity on Fox News. "We invited him on the show for a comment. His little agent replied, because he was too chicken, in an email: ‘Ryan’s statement is his tweet and vice versa’"
"Why don’t you have the courage to come on the program, defend yourself? He called me a ‘terrorist’"
"If we wanted to torture terrorists, we could play his music, which isn’t that popular anyway, and a 24-hour-loop would drive them nuts... Come on the program, stop being a wimp, he’s hiding behind his rock star makeup like a little gutless little coward that he is."
Sean Hannity is infamous for his right-wing views, which initially angered Adams, and sparked the first tweet.
