Your "fact" is presented here in an article the title of which calims to have caught "FOX NEWS" in an act of deceit.

The Hannity Show does not present it's nightly footage to FOX NEWS for approval. FOX NEWS has its programming, and Hannity has its programming. They are both separate entities.

While it is indisputable that Hannity's show ran the wrong file footage on the Bachman piece (and both acknowledged and apologized for the error), it is also indisputable that the title of this article and Jon Stupid's skit lays upon the doorstep of FOX NEWS the culpability for airing footage that FOX NEWS had no hand in selecting or airing.

It is an obvious and despicable, integrity devoid ploy to illegitimately smear FOX NEWS as being untrustworthy as a news source-- because of something Sean Hannity aired on his show. If you had to guess, which of the following is more important to this nation's current plight and shaky future? Whether Hannity erred on purpose, or whether FOX NEWS can be trusted?

Your playing along, by focusing on the idiotic film clip snafu, allows the scum trying to falsely smear FOX NEWS to get away with it unchallenged.

Where, praytell, is the integrity in that?

If you look at the lower right hand of the screen, or check your TV listing - you will find that Hannity is on the FoxNews channel; and as such anything he says on that network - reflects on the network.

Conside the New York Times, not too long ago they had a reporter who 'made up stories'; he has since been fired, but because the New York Times endorsed him as a journalist (ie. he worked for the NYT, and publised in the NYT) - the NYT is ultimately responsible for the content their journalists report. The man was fired, but the NTY took the bloody nose; as now everyone questions every story that appears in the NYT.

So, what do you not understand about a News organization maintaining and fiercely defending their integrity?
