Sean Hannity not only lied about the number of people that attended a healthcare protest in the nation's capital, but even used false video footage to prove his claim. Michelle Bachmann was being interviewed by Hannity and claimed there were 25,000 to 40,000 people that showed up to the anti-healthcare reform rally. According to Stewart, the Washington Post actually stated only 10,000 people attended.
To prove their point a clip was shown that displayed all the people that were in attendance. There was one small problem with this however. The actual clip was from the teabagger protest on 9/12. Jon Stewart didn't miss this bullshit lie by Hannity and his buddies on Fox News and called them out. Oops.
