Once again, Jon Stewart out-journalisms the journalists

And once again, I feel the need to ask: Does this mean Stewart and his team are just really good, or is it the rest of our media that’s gotten really bad, leaving Stewart to do their work for them?

Two nights ago, Stewart busted Fox News’s Sean Hannity for using old videos to attempt to inflate the size of Michele Bachmann’s health reform protests. It was pretty classic — watching Stewart compare Bachmann’s protest to Hannity’s videos, it was obvious Hannity had gotten it wrong. Note to Hannity: If you’re trying to inflate the numbers of a rally that took place in the fall, don’t use video taken in the summer. It turns out that the leaves change colors; that’s kind of a giveaway.

Here’s the clip from the Daily Show:

There was nothing left for Hannity to do but apologize, which he does like a bit of a jerk because he’s Sean Hannity.
