While she estimated that 20,000-45,000 people attended the event, the Washington Post reported it was actually more like 10,000. Still, that is a sizable number of Americans exercising their right to free speech and assembly, and that warrants news coverage. But Sean Hannity and his team did more than cover the event. They not only inflated the number in attendance with their words, but actually used footage from a heavily-attended protest this summer to make this health care rally appear more popular. Hannity even pointed out that this was a huge crowd for a Thursday, when the protest footage they used was from a Saturday. Jon Stewart and his team caught this discrepancy and ran with it, pointing out neither the color of the leaves nor sky in the tacked-on video matched that of the actual footage. They went on to mock Fox by adding more video to the interview, this time from Woodstock and the movie "300."[/quote] Video in the link. Faux News fails at trying to make Bachman's personal protest look like something other than the small, isolated, decidedly insane gathering of her fans that it was.
Wow fox news fails yet again

I remember watching that protest on Fox, and I asked the guy who's house I was visting what he thought, and he, a gun-toting Republican conservative veteran simply replied "They're idiots.". :foxnews:=fail

Not that I have much respect for the teabaggers, but at least they're better than these people.
Both the videos don't work in Canada, it says to find them on the comedy network's site. Anyone have a link?
How about a link to the video that Canadians can watch?
I love how John and his team keep catching these 'real' news networks in their lies and misinformation.

Jon Stewart is a radical punk. Stephen Colbert would be a much better host.

I love the daily show.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;18324660]Stephen already has a show, it comes on right after Johns.[/QUOTE] He should run both shows then.
Gotta love Jon Stewart.

I just went on Hannity's site. Topics about Jon Stewart calling him out on this have been deleted without reason. It's hilarious.
