Could it be that Sean Hannity figured his fans wouldn't notice that some of his footage from guest Rep. Michele Bachmann's November 5 Washington protest showed a perfectly cloudless blue sky and brightly colored trees in the background while later footage showed a slightly cloudy sky and nothing but GREEN...and MANY MORE PEOPLE??? I guess that helped him to say with a straight face that the crowd was "estimated to be between 20,000 and 45,000...lol???

I'll admit I wasn't sure what to make of it at first when I saw this on Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" last night but now it's been picked up by legitimate journalists. WAY TO GO JON!! Your "fake" news really isn't always fake, is it?
Any thoughts? I suppose you COULD wait until Hannity addresses the issue later tonight, as it's been reported he intends to.

Wow, that's such an elementary school mistake. Did Hannity's crew run the tape or was Bachmann in another location running it? If his staff had it and didn't bother to take a close look at it beforehand, they're really stoooopid.

I caught a segment of CNN earlier and they were having a real laughfest over the footage when it came to the trees in the background.

What a hoot! My crew made me do it... couldn't tell that the trees weren't green anymore ...
How can Keith Olberman live that one down?
