Six pregnancy scare, eh Adrian?

What's that thing he's carrying when he comes in? It looks like a kid's toy bugle or something. #jonstewart

To do that I'd have to be a smug-crunchie living on an organic farm in Vermont bragging about how I don't watch TV and get all my "indie" news from rinky dink anti-neoliberal websites run by Zapatista sympathizers at California liberal arts colleges.
And I really don't want to be that person. #seanhannity

Call me naive but I do believe Stewart is the real deal. Unequivocally so. I think on some level he is still incredulous over the tantric mindfuck that his show has filled the void that the "legitimate media" use to hold. What started out as a comedy show has become something else due to factors no one could have foreseen. It's like going to a Halloween party dressed as a cop and when an emergency arises being pressed into duty because the powers that be have failed to show up.
As for Hannity, the dickless wonder did what all of these fatuous shitheels do: when he is exposed as the rank hack that he is he just gives that smug shrug of his shoulders and says "Hey, what's the big deal?" Then in a brazen attempt to embarrass the people that have exposed him, he thanks them for watching, as if that was the plan all along.
In antiquity he would have been left on the side of a mountain and we would have rained stones own on his sorry ass.
Here's to the good old days. #seanhannity

My mind grapes are being squeezed so tightly just trying to resolve reality (Sean Hannity is a filthy truthless liar) with reality (Sean Hannity said something honest).
Is this what it feels like to have a stroke? #seanhannity

If you get your hands on the ratings, I'd be surprised if the traditional Stewart audience fell for it. Any interesting bits were guaranteed to be posted online within minutes, without having to suffer through Hannity's show. I'm guessing most of TDS's audience just waited it out online. #seanhannity

No Mr. Hannity, you deliberately cobbled together video from different events to create the impression of something that wasn't true. You LIED. It's not as if your video editing team pressed a wrong button....they went out, found Beck's footage, and inserted it into the story.
That's not a mistake. That's a willful misrepresentation of the facts. #seanhannity

Is he apologizing for being incompetent or because he got caught doing something that a partisan prick would do? #seanhannity

Your point on 9/11 is irrelevant, as that was during a time when they were not all using time stamped digital recording, stored on digital (not analog) magnetic media (which, BTW, many agencies still use). Nowadays, video, even if not named, is marked by time as soon as the video camera stops recording.
As for archiving, you may want to look up the definition of archives, as any back stored information is archived. The 9/12 rally may have been stored with Hannity's [little] protest, but I assuredly doubt the same folder. And even if stored in the same folder (I dunno, I'll just presume the media editing department at Fox News is just this insipidly incompetent to the point that a middle school video club could run it more efficiently, and just saved those videos in a folder called "Fox protests FTW") You still have the time stamp issue.
But, okay, we then assume that none of the videos are time stamped, or named, that means no one in review or fact checking (presuming, of course that it doesn't just go from the video editor's hands directly to show, particularly if they have a day to get the footage up) caught the rather obvious difference in not only the sky, but the foliage as well. For a 'news' network that prides itself on 'fair, balanced, and accurate' information, this is going well beyond incompetence and into the area of gross and criminal negligence.
So, to make a long story short, what you're saying exists in the realm of probability, just as Sus domestica can develop atmospheric buoyancy of their own capacity through natural evolutionary means within the next couple of years... #seanhannity

And if you've ever seen any of his movies, you'd know he's not THAT good an actor. I don't believe he's faking it. His tour de force against Jim Cramer was fucking epic. #seanhannity

And really: he made Hannity admit he was wrong. He kept Hannity honest, even if for a second. That is a good thing to me. #seanhannity

Seriously--I'd have to sit through his whole show otherwise. #seanhannity
