Fox News' Sean Hannity responded to Jon Stewart Wednesday evening
after the Daily Show host called out the network for using old footage
from a larger September 12, 2009 "Tea Party' protest to illustrate a
much smaller health care rally on Capitol Hill last week. Speaking
directly to the camera, Hannity said that it pained him to
admit it, but Stewart was correct.

"And although it pains me to say this, Jon Stewart, Comedy Central, he
was right. Now on his program last night, he mentioned that we had
played some inccorect video on this program last week while talking
about the Republican health care rally on Capitol Hill. He was
correct, we screwed up. we aired some video of a rally in september
along with a video from the actual event. It was an inadverdent
mistake, but a mistake none the less. So, Mr. Stewart, you were right.
We apologize. But by the way, we wanna thank you and all your writers
for watching."


Inadverant mistake? You've got to be kidding. Anyone in the edit
room at the time knew EXACTLY what footage was being used to pepper
Michelle Bachmann's rally of the dildos. Hannity knew too.

More PoxNews lies, official news network of rec.boats "consevatives."


I believe Fox News will moderate their views and try to become more
mainstream, both to prove Obama wrong, and to improve the brand.


I dont think that'll happen. Not if you listen to Murdock supporting Beck's
lies.

They have taken extreme views to . . . extremes. There is no place else
for them to go. Roger Ailes and Murdock are smart people, they know tea
parties, with all that tea bagging, and birther movements don't have much
of a future.

Becoming a real outlet for news (or just being seen as real) is to their
benefit.


It is, but Murdock doesn't care... he's got deep pockets and can absorb
losses for quite a while.

When Sesame Street makes fun of your narrow mindedness, it's time to wake
up.


Wow... 40 years... I grew up with it.
