    @PropSword: So he went with "Golly shucks, an underling made a whoopsie!"

    It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't pull crap like this all the freaking time. For example: he's reported ridiculously inflated crowd numbers for these teabagger events at least twice now.

    Choad indeed. #seanhannity

    While certain Fox News personalities at least manage to be endearing (albeit in a very twisted way), I can't even sense an ounce of humanity in this man. There's something downright scary about the way he cooly disregards the truth without a second's hesitation. Other hosts on the channel at least marry their proclamations to outlandish theatrics or haughty, old-fashioned, white male ignorance — both of which are way easier to brush off than the deadly serious, pathological manner in which Hannity carries himself.

    Chill-inducing. Really. #seanhannity

    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.

    here's some video

    This guy is such a tool. When I worked different hours I would listen to him on my drive home. I used to call him so much he was on my voice speed dial as "Jerk Off". It was really fun to get through to him and piss him off, I used to think of it as messing up his perfect hair. I actually got through so many times that when they would be taping a show in advance, they would call me to get my comments on things. No lie. I was actually surprised by that since I was always opposed to anything he said. When his producers called all I had to say was "what's the topic?" and I knew how to push his buttons. Gay marriage, George Bush, the war in Iraq, it was just too easy but so much fun I couldn't resist.

    What he won't say: "The show I star in and carries my name aired fake footage to support my unpopular beliefs in an attempt to make them appear more popular. As the face, voice, and producer of the show, and person ultimately responsible for its content, I can tell you now that the production staff that was responsible for these voluntary misrepresentations that we wouldn't have acknowledged if a comedy cable show was the only 'news' outlet to have the balls to point them out, which has since drawn a great deal of attention to the fact that we're a bunch of right-wing hacks with no interest in the truth, have been fired." #seanhannity

    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

    They will blame it on a liberal-leaning video engineer bent on destroying the network from the inside. That, or an al-Quaida transmission hijacking.

    But seriously, he will term it "an honest mistake", give a two-second apology, then dig up footage of a "liberal" news outlet that misused footage and ask why Jon Stewart didn't chastize them.

    Deflect is the name of the game there. #seanhannity

    If you are as outraged about this as I am, I strongly encourage you to file a complaint to the FCC here:
    [esupport.fcc.gov]

    The appropriate Complaint Type is "Broadcast (TV and Radio), Cable, and Satellite Issues" and the Complaint Category is "Unauthorized, unfair, biased, illegal broadcasts" (the form states that this includes "Biased or distorted news stories by the media"). The original show aired on Fox News at 9:00 pm Eastern on November 5th 2009.

    We have an avenue to correct this type of falsification and to make change we must make a complaint.

    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

    @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

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.
