It’s not the most gracious apology I’ve ever seen, but Sean Hannity admits Jon Stewart was right, and says he’s sorry for using footage of large crowds from the September 12th tea party in his coverage of Michele Bachmann’s protest last week. Hannity says it was “inadvertent,” but it’s a little hard for me to imagine how a video editor could “inadvertently” insert footage from an entirely different event held on a different day.
