    Anyone catch lastnights...

    Daily Show? Wow, Jon Stewart embarrassed Fox and Sean Hannity. You'd think after they got caught lying like this before and inflating numbers, that they would have learned their lesson....Vid is in the link and Hannity's "apology".




    Comedy Central's Jon Stewart, who approaches politics with no joke, had called out FOX News Channel's serious Sean Hannity for showing video of a much larger "TEA Party'' protest conducted in Washington on Sept. 12 in talking about a much smaller Capitol rally recently.

    Hannity called back last night: Stewart was right - and Hannity uttered some presidential words in fessing up:

    "Although it pains me to say this, Jon Stewart, Comedy Central, he was right,'' Hannity said on his show last night.

    "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,'' Hannity said. "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 inadvertent mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. So, Mr. Stewart, you were right.

    "We apologize,'' Hannity said on air to Stewart. "But by the way, we wanna thank you and all your writers for watching."

    This was from Stewart's viewing of Hannity:

    Push your pants down R13. Sounds like he manned up and admitted a mistake. Seems I Saw Rachel Maddow Do something similar a week or 2 ago.

    I use Fox/NBC for comedy. I take nothing said on there seriously at all, and never accept their news stories as facts.

    I dont take any news story for fact anymore, which is sad.

    Stewart is actually pretty good, of course it's comedy/satire, but it just covers everything CNN, MSNBC, FOX covers. He and Colbert are incredibly smart, just finished reading their books which were hilarious but I learned a lot to be honest...esp Stewarts, since it's really a "textbook".


    The thing is MJ, this is pretty hard to believe that it's a "mistake". They used both sets of vids, from the actual event and from the larger one 2 months ago...which he talks about what's going on with "all those people". They have a history of doing this, not to mention when they claimed there were over a million at that rally 2 months ago...even though it was more like 60,000. If he had apologized for just flat out lying, compared to this so called "mistake".

    Bingo!

    It's hard to believe how these type of things keep happening with them.
