Corrective Measure
Reported by Deborah - August 24, 2004 -
Tonight at 9:13 PM,Hannity played the infamous "war atrocity" audio clip of Kerry from 1971. However this time, Kerry's full statement was heard as well as a headline under his photo, "Testimony to the Department of Foreign Affairs" This was a big step for Fox but Hannity tilted the scale back to an unbalanced position, pretty quickly. 8/23/04
First, Hannity held up an out of print book written by Kerry," The New Soldier", saying, "Vietnam hippies with the flag upside down."
Next he launched his war crime accusations which we know so well by now."What atrocities did he commit? Did he burn down villages?" 9:15PM
And finally, at 9:25PM, in a quite typical display of partisan rhetoric, Hannity told the Hitler lie after Maryanne Mason got him mad. "Not going to let you get away with this....Comparing the President to Hitler..."
Comment: Hannity might be beyond redemption but it was nice to see that one corrective measure tonight.
