Jon Stewart is more credible than Fox News now on serious events going on in the country. rawstory.com

Fox News, in case you hadn't noticed, called Foley a democrat two days ago. They never retracted it either. They have also allowed their chief pundits to try to change the subject from Foleygate to sex scandals as many as 33 years old, and to put out false and misleading information on the 1973 Gary Studds scandal and Monica Lewinsky.

Hannity is the biggest offender, claiming Studds had a 17 year old boyfriend in the 80's when it was 1973, an age when sexual freedom was at its height and gay boy-lovers were almost never noticed or prosecuted, including in the churches, boy scouts and single sex boy schools. Hannity claimed "that wasn't long ago" but it was 33 years go. Also Studds freely admitted what he did, and though reprimanded by democrats went onto be re-elected 5 times, and his boyfriend stood by him the entire time. Weird but not criminal.

Hannity also claimed Lewinsky was a "teenager" but she was 22 when she she was playing around with Clinton, and it was her choice to do so. In fact she was obsessed with going after CLinton, which though embarrassing and damaging was totally legal. Hitting on teenaged boys and setting up dates is not legal, especially in 2006 vs. the 1970's.
