"The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart pointed out inconsistencies in alternating "Hannity Show" shots of a recent conservative rally on the steps of the Capitol Building. This has led to accusations of Fox News splicing video footage shot at a larger Glenn Beck rally held in Washington two months ago with video shot at last week's rally, thus falsifying footage to make the more recent protest appear bigger than it was.
Watch "The Daily Show" clip:
The controversy stems from an anti-health-care reform rally held last Thursday on the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., which Rep.

NEW YORK - Shannon Burdette tried to pay with her Shell Mastercard after filling up her gas tank this weekend but found the card rejected.
Confused, she called the customer service line on the back of the card, issued by Citibank, and was told the account was closed because of something that appeared on her credit report. But when the Sykesville, Md., resident got a copy of her credit report online, the only negative thing she saw was "closed at credit grantor's request" on the Shell MasterCard account.

ASAN, South Korea - Brides in white gowns and Japanese kimonos joined grooms in black suits and red ties Wednesday for the Unification Church's biggest mass wedding in a decade — a spectacle church officials say involves 40,000 people around the world.
The "blessing ceremony" is the church's largest since 1999, and may well be the last on such a grand scale officiated by the 89-year-old Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the controversial founder of the Unification Church.

According to eyewitnesses, Cameron Willingham stood in front of his wood-framed home as it was engulfed in flames pleading for someone to call 911 and screaming: "My babies are burning up!"

I just got back from the bank. They are still trying to sort things out, but since the money was caught, before it had to chance to be withdrawn from the other person's account, they are going to transfer my funds back as well as the other's person's funds that was taken out. In the meantime they are still doing their investigation to see who had access to everyone's account and was doing all of the transfering. I filed my police report on Saturday and other than cursing out my cousin's ungratel b*tch of a wife, there really isn't much left for me to do.

Imagine two companies: first, a construction company that has received repeated notices for several years from the Social Security Administration of hundreds of irregularities in the social security numbers used for employment purposes at the company. These same social security numbers were used as a basis for work eligibility on I-9s. This company chooses to ignore the no-match letters and as a result, continues to employ significant numbers of unauthorized workers.
