British comedian and actor, Russell Brand, uploaded a new video to his YouTube channel, The Trews, this week.

He has posted many videos about the Israel-Palestine conflict but in a clip posted on Tuesday, he had a specific target in mind: Fox News anchor Sean Hannity.

Brand watched Hannity's recent segment, which was called "Sympathy For The Terrorists", and made some observations on the news piece.

He starts off with some light banter comparing Hannity to an animated character from Toy Story:

"I don't want to be petty or trivial but Sean Hannity looks a bit like the 'Ken' doll in the Toy Story 3 film".

"Also he has his name on a police badge in the corner of the screen."

But it was Hannity's treatment of his two guests which caused the most criticism from Brand. Palestinian-American and executive director of the Jerusalem Fund, Yousef Munayyer, was repeatedly interrupted and shouted-down by Hannity while his other guest from the American-Islamic Reform for Democracy was allowed to speak freely.

Brand suggested that remaining objective wasn't at the forefront of Hannity's mind, saying: "He's not interested in truth."

"Sean Hannity is only interested in pushing a perspective."
