A grouping of cable news “mistakes”
To review.
The staff of the Jon Stewart Show caught Sean Hannity in heading back to the “9/12 Rally” for more impressive footage than was available for the Michelle Bachman organized “Super” Protest. See here. Sean Hannity “apologized”, with one snark-laced caveat of “Thanks for watching.” Inevitable sketch followed, with his teddy bear committing suicide enduring watching the Hannity program.
There are two “Cable News” crap fests of out of context video and photographic footage worth mentioning, regarding Ms. Palin. Fox News continues the inflated crowds tact of using old footage in showing the large crowds for Sarah Palin.  And MSNBC disgraced themselves similarly, as the current media watchdog du jour of the Jon Stewart Show points toward, with a discussion of a group of those obviously photoshopped Sarah Palin photographs that were swirling around last year (go to 2:08).
But watching that MSNBC flub reminds me to point out one odd reality of the “Cable News networks”: as much as I feel compelled to knock everybody from Hannity to Chris Matthews, from O’Rielly to — yes, even Keith Olbermann — and this weird world of partisan political infotainment (the only thing I recommend on the bunch of them is Rachel Maddow) (and, just as aside, you know — there is more actual news going on than these partisan politics) — what is aired in the daytime is ever more insipid and vapid in its inside the beltway tusslings. But those hours probably only exist as a bridge toward those evening (niche-audience approved) line-ups anyways.
