"In June, John Podesta appeared on Sean Hannity's radio program and confronted him with a Center for American Progress document detailing 15 distortions that Hannity had made on the air. Hannity, true to form, changed the subject, instead accusing Podesta of lying. When a New York Observer reporter this week raised the subject again, Hannity was forced to do a little cutting and splicing in order to "prove" that Podesta had lied on his program. This heavily-edited clip now appears on his Web site. It's missing critical audio from the Podesta interview.

Transcript of Hannity's doctored clip:

HANNITY: When Howard Dean advances the theory that George Bush knew about 9/11 ahead of time, I can't find you on record condemning that.

JDP: Howard Dean never said that, Sean."

Al Franken has talked about this as well. This is from the Center for America Progress. Podesta has the whole transcript to show what Hannity did. Hannity is scary.

2. Hannity, Limbaugh and the like

are brainwashing intelligent people. Until we can operate a free press, not corporate owned, the uninformed only fall deeper into the cult mentality. It scares me - they have the control yet nobody questions them, for the most part.

Unfortunately, there are many examples of lies and distortions similar to what you have posted. Thanks for sharing since many new DU'ers are learning the truth about our libruuuul media.

3. What I wouldn't give

to have Edward R. Murrow back for a few weeks. He'd reduce Hannity to the sniveling pile of dog droppings that he is in a heartbeat.

Those Freep heads listen to AA just like we tune in to Limbaugh or Hannity from time to time.

8. Yes, It Should

Hannity, like O'Racist, has to doctor footage to cover their lies and distortions and errors.

Says it all.

7. There is a combination of double dirt strategy going on with him...

He is provided the propaganda of the day by his bosses.

Then when combined with his cocky lying mouth and his personal obsession on talking over, lying over, and halting truth to protect his cocky lying mouth - he is just being a good soldier who shoots his arrow and hits the bullseye with rabid listeners who create phoney truth from lies.

[Bush was AWOL]

9. Ummm

Hannity said that today again during a conversation with Cheney. He said that Howard Dean has said-on more than one occasion-that Bush knew about 9/11 ahead of time. He also accused Ted Kennedy of the same shit.
