Fox News caught again

Video: Sean Hannity Uses Glenn Beck's Protest Footage | The Daily Show | Comedy Central

Not only does Hannity inflate the numbers, but then he uses 2 month old footage to prove it lol.

Got to love the daily show.

Re: Fox News caught again

That show is *on* Fox News - but that isn't a *news* show. It is an opinion show for entertainment purposes, not for news bites.

ill save the others the trouble and give the rebuttal that is coming. This is their opinion shows they dont have to tell the truth. But then they admit as fox has shown a majority of their programming is opinion and spin and not news. Remember pete the news shows use the famous line "some people say" and those some people who make off the wall comments are on their opinion shows. The opinion shows will make the outrageous comments and the news shows will report those comments as if they come from other sources. Just like how they use the ? marks in their scrawls at the bottom to try to distance themselves from the absurdity of the claims

That doesn't make a damn bit of difference. Opinion is supposed to be about the news, or current events, or whatever. NOT LIES...


This lame excuse trotted out by Fox apologists every time they get caught lyin' again makes the whole pathetic charade ****ing hilarious.


::We don't care that they lied.:: w.t.f.

I think they've even confused their own damn selves over at fox. I heard an ad for Fox and Friends a few days ago. Now, they've already admitted their 'news' hours don't start until 9am ... when Fox and Friends is OVER. Nonetheless .... the ad declared: Watch Fox & Friends ... hard news .... no bias

Who, except a bipolar halfwit who can't tell the difference between news and editorial, calls Hannity "news"?
