'Nonsense': BBC calls out Fox's Sean Hannity over fake bombing video

Source: Raw Story

June 22, 2025 8:15PM ET


Conservative TV presenter Sean Hannity got a correction by the BBC after he shared a purportedly "false" video.

The Fox News host on Saturday posted a video to Meta platforms with the caption, "Fordow is gone," referring to one of the nuclear sites the U.S. struck in Iran. The clip Hannity posted showed a large explosion, and it was assumed by many commenters that the video depicted Fordow as it was being destoryed.

But senior BBC journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh corrected the TV host.

"Fox News prime time host Sean Hannity has posted this video on Instagram, falsely claiming that it shows US strikes on Fordow tonight," Sardarizadeh wrote on X late on Saturday night. "The video he's posted is actually from December 2024, showing Israeli strikes on a missile base in Tartous, Syria."

What's the difference if an alternate fact is off by a couple'a hundred miles?

..."It's not about red or blue, it's about green." Rupert Murdoch. One of the many statements his viewership didn't get to hear from the Dominion case. Of course it only cost him $787mil to avoid taking the stand. Chicken feed.

put the 10 Commandments in every school.

Whereas, they are the first to break every commandments there is. The irony.

You shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother; keep the Sabbath holy; you shall not kill; you shall not murder; you shall have no other gods - no gods before me; you shall not covet; you shall not make idols; you shall not give false testimony.

And yet, GQP does all of the above 24/7. Just look at their leader.

Justice matters.

When you are accustomed to bullshitting people, it becomes even easier when you try to justify your bullshitting by bullshitting some more. Sean Hannity probably has no mirrors in his house...as he would have to look at himself and see what an asshole really looks like.
