Here we go again. Conservatives, America’s “real patriots,” have managed to make another mess with their Tea Party protest. Thank you Fox News. After I wrote about the 9/12 protest in September– how certain conservative bloggers wet themselves in reporting inflated attendance numbers (Michelle Malkin)– then used a fake picture to depict the scene, I just knew they had learned a lesson. I guess they haven’t. Apparently Fox News, that bastion of ethical and fair journalism, has gotten its nose dirty, thanks to some tricky doctoring of video by Sean Hannity and his producers. The most recent Tea Party protests, organized by Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) was the recipient this time of the “special treatment.” Take a look at the two photos below. The photo on the left was of the most recent protest led by Bachmann. On the right is the 9/12 protest organized by rabid loon Glen Beck. Notice anything odd?
Here is John Stewart reporting this discovery on his show Tuesday night:

Wow. I suppose this is what you do to stay on top. The “Super Bowl of Freedom” huh? This is one of the most blatant misrepresentations I’ve seen in quite some time. One has to wonder how often they distort the facts, and bend the rules in order to remain the best tabloid entertainment organization. I say that because their credibility as a “real” news organization is seriously compromised here. Real news organizations report the actual story, they’re not part of the story. Sean Hannity, you deserve a big thanks for lifting the veil on your company’s shameful practices. Take a bow. Now grow a pair, and admit that Fox News is all about spreading propaganda. Someone at that network needs to.
UPDATE: Hannity apologizes. Hell has frozen over.

The fair and balanced network’s lies and distortions are starting to catch up to them. There is no way on God’s green earth that they made a mistake. They know that the attendance at crazy woman Bachmann’s protest was pitiful at best, and they wanted to keep the lie going that there is some type of movement going in this country against the President of enormous proportions.
Thank You Daily Show for exposing these evil doers as the scam artists that they are!
Agreed Sean. This is most likely part of a pattern with Fox.
