    In reply to Sean Hannity Promises to Respond to Comedy Show That Fact-Checked Him
    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

    HuffPo will never work until it stops censoring comments so much; the sameness makes it as boring as the comments on, oh, CuteOverload, for example. It's become more about boobs and provocative titles and giving hacks of every kind a chance to "post" their inane comments or flog their latest book/product/agenda. #huffingtonpost

I didn't get banned, they just refused to approve the comments, so it became a challenge to me to find the key flag words.

    @Maryscary: OMG yes. But it's a cult, wherein you are only allowed to say "OMG!" and "Oh, my head will asplode from teh qute!" and they exchange sunshine tofu recipes and give each other imaginary cookies-- and if you say anything that strikes anyone negatively you are a terrible, terrible person. It's notorious for requiring that the rear end be kissed of the Megan and her henchman, Theo. I know this because of painful experience with a cousin. They also had a huge argument over whether people's faces should ever be included. #huffingtonpost

    I have a friend since high school whose late mother was a best-selling writer and whose father was his wife's business manager. Years ago, while still a whelp, I placed an article in a highly local newspaper, an article I wasn't paid for but that gave me experience and a small platform. When I proudly told my friend's parents about this, her father gravely said, "You're a writer when you get paid for it." #huffingtonpost

    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.

    I sense some oncoming righteous indignation.

    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

    @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

    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
