This is a picture of FOX News host Sean Hannity at the Yankees/Phillies game the other night (congratulations Yankees, blah, blah, etc). Ordinarily this wouldn't be a big deal, but it's who's taking the picture that makes it interesting. It's...
Keith Olbermann! And Hannity is taking a picture of him, as the photo shows. No, they're not going to use the photos in some court case against each other, they actually get along (well, at the ball game anyway -- America's pastime!).

Whatever your political opinions are and however your cable news tastes run, you have to admit that this
Daily Show examination of how Fox News works is pretty smart. Not just as an explanation at how the news side works with the non-news side of the network, but as an explanation of how
any organization can spin things their way.

You may have heard that the White House seems to have
declared war on Fox News. President Obama has even gone as far as not appearing on one of the Fox News Sunday morning shows even though he appeared on every other network that morning. Now other White House spokespeople are openly saying that the network can't be trusted.
What do you think?

Even though the sudden pull out from several sponsors hasn't caused Fox to prematurely eject Glenn Beck from his time slot, he was suspiciously absent from the airwaves this week.
Some suggest this Beck-free week wasn't just a much needed vacation for the host, or for the viewer for that matter.
TVNewser spoke to some Fox insiders who claim the network ordered the silver haired devil to take a week off so some of the heat over
his advertising boycott could die down.

This clip from
The Daily Show pretty much summarizes what's wrong with the cable news channels. And no, Jon Stewart isn't just dumping on Fox News here, he also goes after MSNBC for being obsessed with Rush Limbaugh and CNN for their insane i-Report/Twitter reliance.

Have you gotten Inauguration Fatigue yet (I capitalized it because I hope to make it an official, WebMD-listed affliction)? Hopefully, you haven't, because it's going to be "All Obama, All The Time" today, so you might as well sit back, get a cup of coffee, and enjoy the pomp and circumstance.
Thanks to our friends at Hulu, you don't even have to leave the computer. They're streaming Fox News' coverage of the ceremonies (hopefully, Sean Hannity is being kept in a safe location so we don't see him sobbing and rending his garments). For convenience, I've added the stream after the jump (
Warning: it plays automatically, so put those headphones on now).
Ah, life in the near-teens is good, isn't it? You can watch the inauguration
and slave away at your soon-to-disappear job without even having to get up from your desk. Now get back to work, people!

If you're anything like me (first of all, you have my deepest sympathy), you haven't been able to sit still since
The Daily Show and
The Colbert Report went off the air for the holidays. It also may be because my body has absorbed more sugary fat from the holidays than one of Tyler Durden's homemade soaps.
Both shows returned to the airwaves Monday with new episodes. Both also had cable news celebrity cameos so big, no lightning fast news ticker announcing an accidental nuclear missile launch could draw your attention away from them.
The Daily Show returned with another appearance by CNN's gray-haired uber-anchor Anderson Cooper and an interesting interview with new
Meet the Press moderator David Gregory.
The Colbert Report picked up former
Hannity and Colmes pushover Alan Colmes and wound things up with an interview with CNN reporter John King.

Once again I'm forced to ask the question, what the hell is going on here? Have we entered the bizarro world? Is up now down? Has black become white? Did police arrest PGA golfer John Daly for shooting himself in the leg with an unlicensed handgun in a crowded hip-hop club, and the NRA award Plaxico Burres their Humanitarian of the Year award?
Fox News has announced
their replacement for the outgoing Alan Colmes, the liberal ying to Sean Hannity's conservative yang on their self-titled debate show: it's Sean Hannity.
He's doing the show all by himself, so finally he has someone worthy of debating him.
Stephen Colbert's "Formidable Opponent" will never be funny again.

Fox Newschannel has gotten its hands on some footage from the ABC fictional mini-series,
The Path to 9/11, and is planning to air it tonight. The mini-series, you may remember, aired back in September and had members of the Clinton administration pretty ticked off because the script essentially blamed them for 9/11 because they failed to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. Edits were made before it reached air.
But now Sean Hannity will air some of the original content on his program tonight at 9 pm. Fox got the footage by recording video of an unedited scene that producer Cyrus Nowrasteh played during a speech at California State University earlier this month. Fox will air the scene and interview Nowrasteh, with the reasoning that the American public deserves to see what the Clinton administration was opposed to.
If it were the other way around and the Bush administration had pressured ABC to change its script, do you think Hannity would still air it?

So why do all of these movie commercials I see have a quote from him? And he's always going overboard on his quotes, calling this movie "the best" and that actor "the greatest" and this director "the best." As a few of us here have mentioned before, he's becoming more and more lame when it comes to the questions he asks his guests (not to mention he seems less interested now), and now he's reviewing films?
This would be like other talk show hosts and reporters giving quotes for movies.

As president of the Sean Hannity Fan Club, I am thrilled to announce that Sean Hannity's new hour-long, live program for Fox News will be debuting this Sunday. Hannity's America will include an in-depth feature story, debates with liberals, and interviews. I will be selling busts of Hannity made out of nuts and chocolate in celebration of this new show, and will also be constructing a giant replica of the conservative pundit out of old mufflers. Actually, they'll be mufflers I steal from cars in the parking lot, resulting in a cacophony of unmufflered engines serving as a noisy salute to Hannity.

Fox News' Sean Hannity isn't happy. It seems that the documentary This
Divided State has raised the choler of the famous conservative and co-host of Hannity and Colmes. After
you watch this footage from the film, you
might begin to understand why. Hannity was brought to the ultra-conservative campus of Utah Valley State College before
a controversial appearance by Michael Moore. Hannity says he plans to sue the filmmakers based on how the
aforementioned footage was used. Of course, whether the footage was edited to make Hannity seem like a smug,
self-righteous jerk or whether he actually is a smug, self-righteous jerk is for you to decide on your own.
