Figured this is as good a place as any to point out lies told by Fox News Channel.

[Here](http://www.youtube.com/user/johnny5k) is Hannity deliberately taking Obama’s speech, editing it to have him say the exact opposite, and then following it with a little snipe to drive the point home.

[Here](http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/david/stewart-how-msnbc-can-selectively-edit-clips) is the longer segment from the _Daily Show_, start from 5:28.
