I doubt that Hannity even knew where the footage was from. The producers put those things together for airing and most of the time the show’s host only sees them when the viewers do.
Yes, I suspect that is what happened. But we all know it comes out that Hannity was lying. If Olbermann’s producers slipped up similarly, we would be mocking Olbermann.
That is why it shouldn’t happen.
Sorry.
“Plausible Deniability” isn’t going to cover it.
It’s Sean’s show.
It has his name on it, not the producer’s.
Hold his feet to the fire in an appropriate manner.
If a lefty did this, I’d expect some outrage as well.
Just like Mary Mapes did for Dan Rather?
