Sean Hannity to Stewart: 'You were right'

This are different types of examples. They are editorial slant criticisms. They are not alleging swapping footage that makes attendance appear larger than it was, whether it was deliberate or accidental. That is an an apples and pears comparison. This is not an editorial slant observation, that would be something of a no brainer with Fox commentators, it is incorrect footage. Different

Oh and I watched O'Reilly last night. The section with Nader was hilarious. Neither was backing down easily and both got huffy. Funny

Exploding Gas Tanks.

CBS Bush Rather

Rather gone from CBS

Dateline producers Jeff Diamond, executive producer; David Rummel, senior producer; and Robert Read, producer of the report fired Michele Gillen, the reporter involved in the segment, was transferred to Miami station WTVJ. Michael G. Gartner, president of the news division, resigned under pressure.

Hannity or his producers? If you want to make those comparisons then there are consequences if you want true parity.

I think Hannity is suitable embarrassed and that is enough

How about Rather? Was he suitably embarrassed over those phony documents he still insists are real?

Rather was an overpaid mediocrity. Long live citizen journalism and enough with  network primadonnas who are also liars,  proven to lie, unable to digest criticism.

If you want my personal opinion, Rather was a dill.

It ended his "career". I don't know if he recognizes what happened and why. The result however is that he is part of history.

I say long live QUALITY citizen journalism, regardless of editorial slant either way, and not the loonies and conspiracy nuts

Of course Fox news is hated by liberals,  just as Msnbc is hated by conservatives.  Why should it be otherwise?  News is not what it was in days of old,  this is the digital cable 24/7 news era.  

Dan Rather should be able to say, "You were right", but he can't, and Jon Stewart has to have someone, a staff writer, tell him if he is supposed to say, "You were right".

I guess we will have to wait for the upgrade on the moral quality of Stewart's writers, since he is actually a sock-puppet for a left-wing writing staff.

Should I make a YouTube video of Stewart? He could be a sock-puppet on my left-hand mouthing his leftist BS, and then, when it comes time for "Fair And Balanced", and have to go on my right-hand, he could have a hissy-fit

Actually, in spite of my disagreements with Stewart's slant on the news, before the writers' strike, I thought that at least some of what he said was his own material. The show is too long for one man to come up with all that in one day.

But, during the strike, he had little or nothing to say, besides violating every real left-wing ideal by crossing the picket line to go to work.

The writers are treated abominably by Hollywood and your typical TV producer. Some producers don't let the writers come to the premier of the very films they wrote.

Hey, the writer for "Forrest Gump" had to sue to get his hundred thou while lib actors made tens of millions on the project. This is such a typical story of  Hollywood.

TV and film are lands run by ruthless hustlers who are essentially the embodiment of what it is like to have no principles.

If actors and producers and Jon Stewart want to change the world, they could begin by cleaning up Hollywood, a land of  pimps, whores and thieves..

An alleged error, a mistake. Could be. 

At the heart of all of this is the greater, ongoing 'credibility gap' being suffered frequently at FOX.

Spin and slant are inevitably found on both sides in any debate.

Falsification of facts and media evidence to accompany and support slant and spin should be an unacceptable tactic being used by any organization calling themselves a news outlet.

News outlets proven guilty of doing so should have their work reclassified satirical entertainment.

After awhile, if enough errors and mistakes  are committed, it no longer appears to be an 'Oops!' but planned occurrences by design. 

"Reclassified" by what authority? Sounds like lib authoritarianism. We have Freedom of Speech and at no time in our history has it been easier to check on the veracity of statements.

And,  Obama and CNN are down, and FOX is way up and MSNBC is a bit up.

Falsification goes on regularly at the New York Times and elsewhere, and don't believe I believe whatever Hannity says is true to be true. I stopped listening to him long ago.

He doesn't really get the Tea Party protests and won't because he doesn't yet understand what is contradictory about his positions, as many here as well don't get their contradictions, especially about capitalism.

He doesn't understand health care really well, either.

I don't believe Obama tells the truth, not because he wouldn't lie. He already has lied about Wright, Ayers writing his book et al., but because Obama and the Baby Boomer and Gen X idiots don't know the truth.

To paraphrase one Jack Nicholson, they can't handle the truth. Neither can Jon Stewart.

If Jon Stewart could handle the truth, instead of doing a comic satire on Muslims and Christians alone, he would have included the Jews.

And, the picket-line crossing Stewart might try to do something about the religious zealots who continue to build on the West Bank.

At least Ahmanapour, the CNN journalist, covered Jews, Christians and Muslims in her unbalanced not-as-hard-on-her-countrymen-the-Muslims report on warriors in all three religions.

This is just like the Larry David pee-on-Christian-Icons-ok take.

Groucho Marx, the good Marx, once said that he would never join a country club that would allow people like him to join. That kind of satire is gone.
