Michelle Bachmann is different. I think we can all agree on that. She had an anti-healthcare reform rally last week and FOX was there. Thank goodness for the Daily Show. No “news” organization would take the time to note that Fox is misleading its viewers. Maybe its viewers don’t care.

Update: Patrick posted a comment and asked if Fox News had apologized. I said no without even looking to see if they had. Well, scramble my grits, Hannity formally apologized. I’m still in shock. Now, I have to apologize to Patrick for not even checking. Patrick – sorry. I’ll do better. Promise!
From TPM:
Hannity’s apology came at the end of his show.
“Although it pains me to say this, Jon Stewart, Comedy Central, he was right.”
Hannity continued:
Now on his program last night he mentioned that we had played some incorrect video on this program last week while talking about the Republican health care rally on Capitol Hill. He was correct. We screwed up. We aired some video of a rally in September, along with the video from the actual event. It was an inadvertent mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. So Mr. Stewart, you were right. We apologize. But by the way, I wanna thank you and all your writers for watching.
