Dan RATHER didn't fabricate anything. How come HANNITY gets to stay?!1

[UTUSN]

(Referring to his being outed by Jon STEWART for presenting video from other events to inflate Teabagger numbers, since somebody always asks what I'm talking about.)

[G_j]

1. corporate decisions nt

[jgraz]

2. Because he doesn't work for a news organization.

[UTUSN]

3. Bwah-ha-HAH!1 n/t

[ThomCat]

8. Yup, and Fox even went to court for the right to not be a news organization.

:(

They are an opinion and entertainment organization, and they demand the right to lie.

[Nikki Stone1]

17. +1

:)

[virgogal]

4. Who cares?

[fascisthunter]

5. because he works for the GOP Propaganda Syndicate

and not a newsworthy network, if there is such a thing anymore.

[HughBeaumont]

6. IOKIYAR.

[ddeclue]

7. Because making stuff up is a job requirement to be a presenter at Fox.

:rofl:

[Stevenmarc]

9. Because Rather built his career on integrity and Hannity built his on shit

Hannity's bar is a whole lot lower

[Canuckistanian]

11. Exactly. You EXPECT shit from Hannity

It's his stock in trade.

And nobody ever accused Hannity of integrity.

[Initech]

10. Hannity's = pro establishment; Rather's = anti establishment

[derby378]

12. Consider Hannity's boss, for starters... (n/t)

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. He's already a known fake and liar.

[OHdem10]

14. Entertainnment Journalism not held to same standards as Broadcast

Journalism.

[MrsCorleone]

15. Don't forget about Hannity's fake Cuban hospital footage. Linky inside:

Michael Moore makes mincemeat out of Hannity's fake 'hospital' video footage from Cuba

http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/michael-moore-makes-mincemeat-out-ha


"Hannity wanted to make a point about how health care in Cuba is so much worse than it is in the YooEssAy -- in contradistinction to Moore's own reportage -- so he offered what he called special video footage he had been provided of a "hospital" in Cuba.

What we then see is a rattletrap mess with old beds and rotting toilets, etc. But Moore notices what should be obvious: There are no patients, either.

Ah, but wait! We shortly see footage of patients in a hospital. But they're in an obviously different building (or at least wing), because this room is clean and the beds and equipment sanitary and well-tended. But we only get to see them for a few seconds before -- swoop! -- off we go back to the rat's nest."

[HopeHoops]

16. Because Hannity doesn't work for a NEWS channel

FOX is fiction - what's the problem?
