  @Andyhavens 23: Well, Hannity did apologize. I'll give him that. It might mean more if mistakes like this didn't tend to favor the Fox line (cf. the scandal over *Democratic* Rep. Mark Foley). Stewart and Colbert have careers because Fox are a propaganda outlet pretending to be a source of news and analysis and failing hilariously and repeatedly. Those latest San Francisco-area tremors are William Randolph Hearst spinning in his grave. Debunking idiots and moral imbeciles is a valuable public service. Too bad only a comedy show feels up to the job....

  He will insist he and/or Fox did no wrong, it was (if anything) an "honest mistake", and the libruls are just nit-picking. Fox News has shown a pattern of this kind of misleading: whenever a Republican congressman is caught in a scandal they show his affiliation as Democrat on screen (how many of their loyal followers are fooled by this?) And Al Franken once pointed out that Hannity will revert to repeating misleading statistics just days after someone corrects him on air-- he clearly doesn't care about reality, but rather how he would prefer reality to be....

  My Father's politics are a little Right of Republican (he was a Conservative Party member in NY for years because the Republicans were too Liberal), and even he doesn't like Fox News any more because the News side reports the opinions of the Opinion side as news. He also thinks O'Reilly's an Ass with an overblown opinion of himself, so we now have that in common....

  Hannity knows the vast majority of his audience doesn't look outside Fox for any info so they won't know about it. Why apologize when his viewers will think it's just another "libural conspiracy" if they know of it at all?...

  Amazingly, Hannity apologized and gave Jon Stewart credit for catching him in what he called "an inadvertent mistake" (yeah. . . there does seem to be a pattern at Fox of these kinds of "mistakes"), however they guy is so smug that he closed by thanking the Daily Show writers for watching his show everyday. Of course he didn't apologize for calling the crowd size "up to 45,000" when the Washington Post estimated it at around 10,000 (but hey-- they're the "liberal media" so you can't believe them, right?) Hey, maybe when you count all the cops and tourists and...
