A judge asked Michael Cohen to name his clients, after he claimed he had there. Two were named, but there was pushback on naming the third. Cohen then named Hannity. Hannity says he's not a client of Cohen, despite Cohen naming him, and also Hannity is trying to claim attorney/client privilege.
People who are willing to believe that Cohen simply gave Hannity of "advice," haven't quite been able to explain why (if that's true) Cohen would list him as a "client." Lawyers give advice all the time, yet this is the first time that type of advice given to Hannity by Cohn, which Hannity has implied as minor, enables him to be outed (by Cohen as a client). When Houghmade and Fargo give relatively minor advice, here on INGO, are they expected to list us as clients? Besides the fact that Hannity has been staunchly defending Cohen, in light of their relationship, the above is problematic. "Anti-Trumper" legal minds Alan Dershowitz and Judge Napolitano both agree that Hannity should have disclosed this relationshi. .

So it's like Jake Tapper and the folks at CNN taking talking points from the DNC? Is that the kind of conflict of interest we're talking about?

It doesn't not appear to be the same. Jake Tapper and the DNC haven't been outed as sharing lawyers, denying that they were a client, and then trying to invoke attorney/client privilege. If you're asking if Tapper shills for the left, like Hannity this for the right; then yeah, I'll go with that.
I see no difference. Both suffered hits to their already questionable integrity by carrying water for their chosen team. Hannity is being nailed to the wall while Tapper's incident was completely ignored by the MSM. So, business as usual.
