the video evidence isn't just obvious - it's obnoxious. the fact that Fox still parades as a news organization is only outweighed by the millions of americans who watch/believe/devote-lives-to Hannity's and Fox's programs #seanhannity
Did anyone watch the Michael Moore interview with Hannity? He pulled the same bullshit. They were talking about health care (even tho the topic was ostensibly his Capitalism movie) and how it was better, or more accessible in Cuba. Sean ran some footage of what looked like an abandoned building (ie: there were no patients/doctors walking around, just dirty empty rooms) and tried to pass it off as a hospital. Moore just started cracking up and calling him out. Hannity promptly changed the subject.
His main point will be that it doesn't matter when the footage was from (they labeled all of it "earlier" and it was earlier!), what matters is that 50,000 people turned out and goddammit if Jon Stewart isn't an unAmerican terrorist jew bastard if he questions the will of the people! #seanhannity
He'll just continue to lie. That's all he, and everyone else on Fox News does: lie, lie, lie. And they know they're lying. They all but admit they're lying. Because they learned long ago that if you just continue to lie long enough, it seems close enough to the truth that people just accept the lie as approximately the truth, just with a different bias. It's pretty much the basis for Fox News and the conservative movement as we know it. #seanhannity
@Mediahohoho: But what will the lie be? I'm totally intrigued. No way he says, "Sorry. That was misleading. My fault. Won't happen again," right? But what can he say? Is he a big enough dick to blame his staff? Well, of course he is, but will he stoop that low? I can't wait. What time is this man-ape on? #seanhannity
@Richard Petty Bourgeoisie: I think he'll brazen it out by just showing the clips that don't include the 9/12 images. Because his is an audience that will take him at his word when he says Jon Stewart is a liberal and is using his liberal bias to liberal bias me, and that's why liberals are bad and I'm good. And his audience will nod their heads and agree. And the head of everyone with a brain will explode simultaneously. At about 9:12 tonight. #seanhannity
@Richard Petty Bourgeoisie: It will just be deflection. All he has to do is convince his stupid viewers to believe that there's a liberal witchhunt, and that they're "playing a game of gotcha when they should be addressing the concerns of real Americans that were voiced on that day."
I'd love for this to harm his career in some way, but it won't. #seanhannity
@momof3wildkids: Sure. That's a sucker bet. Like most conservatives, he only believes in personal responsibility when it comes to other people. In his own eyes, he is flawless and this is persecution by the liberal media establishment. He will ask you to shed a tear for him in the beer that you drink when you buy mine. I'll take mine sans salt, thanks, this guy is a major ignoramus and hypocrite and has never uttered a factually accurate sentence in his life.
@Mediahohoho: Done. Let's see how tonight plays out.
I'm down with pneumonia after the swine flu, so I won't respond this evening. Let's catch up tomorrow and plan where I am getting my beer. #seanhannity
@momof3wildkids: I am full-time hover dad until afternoon nap time. By then I'm sure I will have seen a video. If I lose I'll send you a beer via Gawker message, most likely a Brooklyn Lager. Sorry to hear about your illness. I hope that you feel better soon and that you recover quickly. #seanhannity
@Mediahohoho: It saddens me to say this, but you win. His half assed explanation didn't cut the mustard. PM me your mailing address and I will send you a beer. #seanhannity
I hope he addresses the questions regarding him being an accomplice in the rape and murder of a young girl in 1990, carried out by fellow Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck.
@Voyou_Charmant: I'm not trying to suggest that he DID, but but the fact that Hannity doesn't deny that he raped and murdered several young girls in the 1990s (with Glenn Beck) speaks volumes. #seanhannity
not that it will happen, but if a plain old "I'm sorry" actually happens, I guess that means some SERIOUS shit really did go down in that truce between FOX and the white house.
Like maybe Michelle Obama guest-judging on American Idol or something-something? #seanhannity
The only way he should address it is: "I'm sorry." Of course, being the hot air balloon he is, he will change the terms of the issue and launch into an attack on Stewart's bias (which bias is, of course, toward the truth). Commenters, sharpen your pixels for the inevitable Hannity post later tonight or tomorrow. I'm already drooling on my keyboard. #seanhannity
@TheBusinessGuy: I bet you one zillion dollars he claims it's "standard media practice" to show stock footage or that some technician switched the tapes.
Lying bastard. #seanhannity
I don't know what you're all laughing at. I mean, this really alarmed me. I love my country too, and don't want my organs to organize a coup d'etat, leaving me in a terrible state. #glennbeck
As a medical student, I can tell you that everything he just said is true. We're developing protocols to remove healthy appendices in order to eat them as we speak. #glennbeck
My roommate and I were crying with laughter last night. And then Stephen Colbert hit it out of the park with Joey Cheek. It was a great night on Comedy Central. #glennbeck
