that they later had to admit was false, because the pic was obviously taken in a different season.

I'm in the midst of a "prove Fox lies" discussion on my FB page. I cordially invite my friends to participate... :-)

3. Was it the Michele Bachmann rally, the "Super Bowl of Freedom" by chance?

The controversy stems from an anti-health-care reform rally held last Thursday on the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., which Rep. Michele Bachmann termed the "Super Bowl of Freedom." The Washington Post estimated that the rally drew roughly 10,000 attendees, but Fox News commentator Sean Hannity claimed on his show that the event drew 20,000 people, while Bachmann, appearing as a guest on Hannity's show, estimated that number to be much higher, up to 45,000. In the process of lauding the turnout "in the middle of the day on a Thursday," Hannity showed footage of scores of people assembled in protest, presumably at last week's rally.

But "The Daily Show" pointed out an oddity in the footage during their broadcast last night: The condition of the sky and the coloring of the leaves lacked consistency in some of the shots, leading Stewart to insinuate that Hannity incorporated footage from coverage of Beck's "9/12" rally into his show's segment on Bachmann's event, in order to bolster the perception of its turnout.

Stewart and "The Daily Show" have been quite critical of Fox News in the past, often using its vast archive of past video clips to lampoon the cable news channel's famous "Fair and Balanced" claims, with Fox News hosts like Bill O'Reilly occasionally allocating airtime to fighting back, claiming that "The Daily Show" often takes what he and his colleagues at Fox News say out of context to make them appear hypocritical and to paint their news coverage as partisan.

A Comedy Central spokesperson says that they weren't tipped off to the footage shown on Hannity's show, and that it was simply the work of one of " the eagle-eyed staffers" on "The Daily Show" who noticed the discrepancies during a routine check of Fox News programming.

6. Durn...I wish the pics were still there.

I vividly remember seeing them on FAUX, and hearing one of their bimbos talking about how the crowd was much MUCH larger than the official count, and thinking, "Maybe it's because the picture you're showing is from a demonstration that occurred several months ago!"
