Just last week The Daily Show caught Hannity running video from the 9/12 “teabagger” rally and claiming it was from Michele Bachmann’s much less attended “housecall” rally against the House healthcare bill. Media Matters reported that this was just the “tip of the iceberg” and gave previous examples.
Now they are at it again, running old McCain/Palin campaign footage and claiming it is from the “huge crowds” Palin is drawing on her book tour.
They know we can see them, right?
“You wouldn’t know that this is such a critical election by watching the convention last night,” said Obama. “I know we had our week, and the Republicans deserve theirs, but it’s been amazing to me to watch over the last two nights.”
He continued: “You’re hearing a lot about John McCain, and he’s got a compelling biography as a prisoner of war. You’re hearing an awful lot about me, most of which is not true. What you’re not hearing is a lot about you.”

And another article from the same source, in its entirety because I couldn’t find a “best” part to clip out…
It’s been just over a month since I last posted. It isn’t that I don’t have time, it’s that I just don’t really think about it. A lot of the time I’ll find something really interesting during my work day but by the time I get home it has made the rounds so much I’m tired of hearing about it and don’t feel like writing about it. The big problem is that blogging is sort of frowned upon from my work computer and blogging from my iPhone is a little rough over EDGE and the iPhone-friendly WordPress admin plugin I installed. There is some pain involved with typing out links and such with two or three fingers. Then there is the fact that there is no copy and paste. I’m hoping there winds up being a free WordPress blogging application in the App Store soon. That won’t resolve the typing long entries issue or the copy and paste issue, but it will resolve the web interface issue and might make other things easier.
