So is tonight's Hannity special going to be anything like that "ground-breaking" report he did called "'Obama and Friends: The History of Radicalism?"

You know, the one that garnered such "high praise" from other media outlets, such as this article in the LA Times:

Fox News' faux documentary sets new low

Here's some nice excerpts from that article:

Even by the low standards of this election's advocacy journalism, the program plumbed new depths -- relying on innuendo and guilt by association to paint the Illinois senator as a dupe of the shadowy forces of the left.

Much of Hannity's report was based on interviews with half a dozen partisan commentators, whose main qualification seems to have been a previously expressed disdain for Obama.

In reference to his claim that a "community organizer, in Barack Obama's case, was somebody that was in training for a radical overthrow of the government," Andrew Martin said this:

"I do involve with the facts," he began, "but when the facts aren't all there, and the perpetrator has concealed all the facts and is basically refusing to testify, you are allowed to draw an adverse inference."

It sounds to me as if he's saying: When you can't prove something, you're allowed to make stuff up."


Gee, I hope tonight's program is as enlightening!
