Like Captain Renault in Casablanca, they would be SHOCKED to find out they are pandering to an ideologically skewed audience. Yes, SHOCKED, LOL.

Got this email today about Hannity and Fox:

Dear_________,

Last September, you helped expose inaccuracies and partisan misrepresentations in ABC's controversial docudrama "The Path to 9/11." This Sunday, Fox News' Sean Hannity is planning to broadcast the fictitious scenes that ABC found unfit to air.

As you may recall, one of the outtakes featured a conversation where former national security advisor Sandy Berger refuses to approve a CIA request to attack Osama bin Laden - an event that the bipartisan 9/11 Commission confirmed never occurred.

It's one thing for Fox News to provide their usual biased political commentary. It's another thing to promote discredited fiction as news. We need you to stand up for the truth.

According to his executive producer, Sean Hannity and Fox News "feel the American people deserve both sides." We can only assume that the producer means fiction vs. fact. It's our obligation to stand up for the facts. ABC Television omitted certain scenes not because they were partisan, but because they were blatantly untrue.

Fox News and Sean Hannity have a right to be partisan and express their own opinions. However, if they want to claim that they're journalists, they have an obligation to report the truth. It's time to step up the pressure on Sean Hannity and Fox News.

Write Sean Hannity And Demand That He Tell America That This Never Happened!

This Sunday, we'll watch Hannity's America so you don't have to! Check in with ThinkProgress.org for the latest on this story and to see if Hannity responds to our requests.

Thanks so much for your continued support,
