"Jon Stewart Catches Sean Hannity Falsifying Footage To Make GOP Protest Appear Bigger (VIDEO)"

What a crock from the (kinda news) channel that's suppose to be fair and balanced. I was swaying toward fox until I saw this, besides I miss hearing the news..back to CNN I go.

I'm sure the "usual suspects" will find some way to defend such blatant BS.

John Stewart is really two people so he divides everything twice.

John is a favorite ending six o'clock news report with his anecdotes and humor poking fun at themselves.

You guys really need to get a life.

I have never been a bug Hannity fan. He is too repetitive for my tastes. It's the same old rhetoric over and over again.

CJ, I am trying to remember if you felt it was a "crock" when the current Administration was caught planting questioners at health care town halls.

It is one thing when a commentator is caught "making" news but it is something else entirely when the "leader of the free world" is caught in the act.

You mean like "jobs saved or created"?

Oh, and CJ, before you decide to change channels, the news on Fox is actually pretty balanced.

Just check out this article from Huffpo:

quote:

This must sting a bit. Sarah Palin's newest conspiracy theory on the "disturbing" redesign of U.S. coins was too much, even for Fox News -- on Tuesday night, Fox fact-checked Palin.

Last Friday, while speaking at a Wisconsin Right to Life fundraising banquet -- attendees were barred from bringing cell phones, cameras, laptops -- Palin rolled out the latest: an anti-Christian conspiracy in the redesign of U.S. coins. Palin waded into the subject by remarking that there had been a lot of "change" of late -- for example, the redesign of U.S. currency which moved the once-centered text "In God We Trust" to the edge of coins.

"Who calls a shot like that?" Palin demanded on Friday. "Who makes a decision like that?"

As Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted: President Bush, that's who.

Baier quoted from Politico's write up on the banquet which commented on the not-so-hidden subtext of Palin's speech: "Unsaid but implied was that the new Democratic White House was behind such a move to secularize the nation's currency." Baier added: "In actuality the coin's design was commissioned in 2005, when Republicans controlled congress, and then was approved by then President Bush."

Oh my God! This is horrible! I will never watch Fox...Just kidding! I love Fox News.

What's wrong CJ? You admit now that Fox News is a "kinda news" network? You're slipping man.

Last night I actually switched to MSNBC to check out Keith Olberman. The NBA game was over. He was in the midst of a rant about the formwer Miss America. Sure, she's a light weight but he can't help taking a few shots a G W Bush. Had nothing to do with the topic but thats MSNBC. Lame. No wonder O'Reilly kicks his butt in the ratings.

Wow, Jon Stewart spokesclown for the left, how underwhelming...

FOX even used CNN footage of an earlier photographed crowd, then claimed some fantastic crowd number for it. lol ... FOX is a joke. It's an "entertainment" channel, not news.

You might want to change your talking points. Now that Dunn has "stepped down" the POTUS is giving FOX News an interview next week.

"http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2009/11/cnn-distorts-soldiers-words-to-defend-radical-islamic-killer/" ________________________________________________In October 2006 CNN broadcast scenes from an al-Qaeda snuff film on the air showing a US soldier being shot dead in Iraq.
________________________________________________
"Now, the Mudville Gazette is reporting that CNN distorted a soldier’s words to defend the radical Islamic killer at Fort Hood:

Foster was not only there, not only sitting in the second row – he was one of those wounded in the attack. But two minutes later in the interview, Foster would try to downplay Roberts’ implication that he was a hero:

ROBERTS: So you were acting like a soldier. You were acting heroically. We should point out that you’re with the 20th Engineer Battalion and despite your best efforts and I guess the efforts of your comrades, as well, four members of the battalion were killed, 10 others were injured. And you were shot in the hip and you didn’t realize it at the time?

Foster: I had realized it at first, but with that much adrenaline, you tend to forget things.

Meaning very specifically that an adrenaline rush can help you overcome pain – or in Foster’s case forget you’ve been shot. That’s a common combat story, but true of any violent situation. But here’s how CNN is reporting their own interview now:

Among the wounded in the shooting was Pvt. Joseph Foster, 21, who was hit in the hip as he sat at the base’s military processing center, preparing paperwork for his January deployment to Afghanistan.

He said he “was sitting in about the second row back when the assailant stood up and yelled ‘Allahu akbar’ in Arabic and he opened fire,” Foster said Monday on CNN’s “American Morning.”

Foster, 21, said he wasn’t clear about whether the gunman said those exact words, noting that “with that much adrenaline, you tend to forget things.”

And hero or not, that’s what you get for telling CNN something they don’t want to hear."

"Pvt Joseph Foster is yet another soldier reporting that Nidal Hasan shouted "Allah Akbar" when he began firing last week - but Foster made the mistake of saying it on CNN:"

"http://www.mudvillegazette.com/032881.html" 'And hero or not, that's what you get for telling CNN something they don't want to hear.


Update: Turns out the "C" stands for "cover-up". CNN has deleted the story and replaced it with another one at the same url. No doubt that can be explained as a "re-write" - of course, no explanation is provided. (Common practice among news organizations these days.) That first mistake was not a transcription error or a typo, nor was Pvt Foster's meaning unclear. Two comments delivered two minutes apart were combined to make one that meant exactly the opposite of what he said.

However. the same passage can still be found in this CNN report (for now) - they really wanted people to get the message.The original CNN story (headlined Fort Hood Shooting Suspect Conscious, Talking, Hospital Says) can still be found at other locations.'

Exactly. From 10,000 (the real estimate) to 40,000 attended to funny. Hey it's ok though guys, some of you would be the first to slam CNN if they did the same thing.

Even without viewing CNN NBC CBS I can say for a fact each one has producer that changes the storyline to suit themselves. Fact of life.

But not publishing a story as several have commented is worse than changing it. This goes back to Ms Dunn threatening those that cites administrations miscues and those the would support them by broadcasting the same.

Hannity is not a news reporter as much as he is a commentator. If you can understand that then this thread would never of happened.

Wow. That's why I tell my Soldiers not to talk to the press and direct them to Public Affairs.

Blooooeee Huffington roast blah blah!

bring back Dan Blather

Wonder what his excuse is? He said he was going to address this. It is lame and the very reason I take everything with a shaker of salt.

We should vote his arse out of office so he can't bankrupt this nation further...oh wait.
