If you apologize for lying, it's an admission that you lied.

That's kind of how it works.

Actually, no. Hannity is not a news broadcast, it's an editorial/opinion show meaning that anything Sean Hannity says is his opinion and not to be confused as fact. Apologizing for an inaccuracy actually shows quite a bit of class and the presence of honesty. I rarely see corrections made on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, BBC, or CBC.

As for the law, it reeks of Marxism and a lack of intellectual confidence. Shutting down opinions of others solely for the reason of keeping it from the people who might be persuaded sort of proves the views and opinions of the law makers is indefensible and weak.

Exactly. It means he got caught and there was no other way out. I don't believe for a minute these are "mistakes".

He used a false news video tape to back up the facts behind his "opinion". He has a national audience and his opinions carry weight with a large proportion of said audience. It's his duty as a newsman to tell the truth. He comments on current events and if Fox News misrepresents those events, they are lying.

You clearly cannot comprehend what an apology and correction are and are so small minded and blinded by your bias that you cannot let it be water under the bridge, even when a person reaches out to make it right. That is fucking sad. You want things better for all but you're not interested in being part of the solution and instead focus on perpetuating the problem. People like you have no idea the hell they welcome into their lives. Stay miserable... it's no skin off my back.

Good thing we don't have that TRUTH IN NEWS law here or else we would not have Fox news. Eventhough this is justly deserved to NEWSCORP, I must say this would be absolutely hilarious, were it NOT TRUE! It is sad that so many delusional Americans look for truth in their news when watching FOX but the majority of what they get are OPINIONS!
I am sure we have all heard the facts behind the viewers of FOX news. More than any other NEWS source, their viewers knew the least about the truth regarding National and Global news events!
