‘Daily Show’ Calls Out Fox News For Flubbing Footage

Jon Stewart and ‘The Daily Show‘ are at it again.

Leave it to the man who hosts a “fake” news program to act as the watchdog when it comes to other media outlets possibly “faking” the news.

Stewart jumped at the chance to call out Sean Hannity Tuesday night after the Fox News host used misleading video clips of a protest rally to support his claim that nearly 45,000 people turned up at a health-care-reform protest last week.

Were it not for the Washington Post reporting that only 10,000 people attended, Hannity might have gotten away with his report.

Well, there was also the case of old protest footage being used to show larger crowds.

“If I didn’t know any better, I would think they just put two different days together and acted like they didn’t,” joked Stewart.

He then showed clips of Glenn Beck using the same footage two months ago at a different event.

Watch the episode below. The clip starts at 11:42:
