Sean Hannity uses footage of Glenn Beck's bigger protest to make the GOP's health care rally appear more heavily attended.

LMAO! That's awesome.

gatti-man · 11-12-2009, 12:00 AM

Those two fools need to be banned from any "news" network.

And people still cite them as a source here... :rofl2;

Overlord#1 · 11-12-2009, 03:43 PM

Haha. Thats great.

kalima275Z · 11-12-2009, 06:20 PM

Brutal...douche-bag move on Fox's part.

Flick Montana · 11-12-2009, 06:24 PM

At least the Daily Show doesn't pretend to be real news. Fox should just call themselves a parody and we could all enjoy them for once.

surfcity40 · 11-12-2009, 06:33 PM

That is beyond what I would expect from a news source. It's almost like they lied.

Here you go.....who young people turn to for their news !

"Here is just part of the article"

Why People Watch The Daily Show

The issue apparent is that people – mostly in the eighteen to twenty five age bracket – are watching shows like The Daily Show or even Saturday Night Live and, supposedly, using that as their source of news instead of conventional news sources. Though, when it comes down to it, are people really watching the show to find out what is going on, or are they watching because it nestles in nicely with their beliefs? People are going to view the shows that make them feel validated. Those with conservative leanings are more likely to watch Sean Hannity where as those with more liberal beliefs will probably choose to tune into Keith Olbermann each night. It works the same for those who are interested in hearing about what is going on and/or politics and those who are not.

gatti-man · 11-15-2009, 09:37 AM

Right which is why "news" shows should be about the news only and held to certain standards. If you call yourself fox news or CNN you should be reporting the news 24/7. Problem is no one like the news, they want spin and drama. I remember the good old days when fox news really was about news 2000-2002

Faux News at it again! Are there really people that take that network seriously?

Divergent13 · 11-15-2009, 09:52 AM

I swear everyone on that so-called "news" network needs to be taken outside and shot in the face. What possible contribution do they offer to the world?

YKZA · 11-15-2009, 11:04 AM

Par for the course...

That joke of a news network gets caught with its pants down again, and not one of their nutjob supporters has anything constructive or important to say...

I laugh at those who believe the tripe shoveled on that joke of network...

Every station is subject to bias and spin...but Faux "News" is just comical for all the wrong reasons

G-Man.uas · 11-16-2009, 07:30 PM

What a calamitous joke Fox and it's viewers are. Devoid of reason and rationality.

Booger, are you trying to somehow defend Fox with your link? What's your point?

He's a devoted follower of Faux News.

Z-Stalker · 11-16-2009, 08:21 PM

This thread is one big liberal circle jerk

kalima275Z · 11-16-2009, 08:54 PM

Indeed, but Fox is still wack for being douches in this case. I'm saying that and I actually prefer Fox over everyone else.
