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."

1. Instagram ended its "third-party fact-checking program" in the U.S. earlier this year.

2. What? It's just two big holes in the ground. One hole looks just like the other.

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

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Wasn't holes, was explosions from ground level at night. Lots of secondary explosions, i.e. not Fordow

I happened to see it posted on FReak site and even they were calling it out as the wrong thing.

3. In general, social media

will be the death of the human race.

[louis-t]

16. Even maga guys I know are saying this.

And it's maga lies that will cause it.

[purple_haze]

18. i think its attention seeking

fake vacation pics from fake perfect lives, "tide pod challenge" stuff, and fake AI videos deemed as real that will drive behavior. its all cancer.

[SergeStorms]

23. It's definitely contributed....

to the dumbing-down of U.S. citizens. I believe we're at an all-time stupidity level right now, and at least 85% of it is due to right-wing propaganda and "social" media.

[BattleRow]

30. Social disease media

[MW67]

32. I agree

Seems to be well underway , I just can't figure why, correctly most all this nonsense began with the social media era, I remember going on Facebook for the first time after a class reunion in 2011 at first I was like cool this is nice to reconnect with old friends and classmates that I hadn't seen in years, around a year later I was out of there and haven't been back , I could see it somehow created conflict between people and was just mostly nonsense and over the top opinions ,it lost appeal quickly to me as did conflict tv like Springer ect , but my friends who liked that stuff all somehow became Maga ,the conflict / conspiracy culture, and a lot of them are now only a shadow of their former selves also, bad stuff

[Botany]

7. Fox lies that is what they do.

Fox not lying would be News.

[surfered]

8. The Dominion lawsuit proved Hannity will look his viewers in the eye and lie to them.

[rubbersole]

10. A great Australian/British/'Murican philosopher once said...

..."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.

[Lovie777]

9. And the RW sociopaths in red states want to..............

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.]

19. But... but, but, Jeebus will pardon them a moment before their last breath...

if they repent JIT*

*JIT: Just In Time (tm)

[Doodley]

11. Sean Hannity admitted in court that he's an entertainer, not a journalist. He's worse, he's a propagandist for fascism.

[Justice matters.]

20. Goebbels would be jealous of him and the whole cabal...

They don't need to type, print, ship, and post (or drop) their lies (from the sky)...

[Canada Kid]

12. Bullshitter Disease

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.

[BattleRow]

31. Vampires see no reflection in a mirror

because it is said they have no soul to reflect.
Sounds about right,to me.

[BoRaGard]

13. Wow - republicans lie lie lie to America

It is absolute evil to lie all the time.

[AllaN01Bear]

14. lie . cheat steal. deflect. deny.go sputter sputt ,sputt. hide behind the bible , the constitution, when cornered they

come out swinging. my late mom

[Brainfodder]

15. Syria Iran what is the difference to a Sean?

Sean = Especially Arrogant Fake News Commentators with very very very very punch able faces.

He can read is all I know.
I can't handle FN for more than 25 secs before they say change the channel worthy poppycock.
They still pushing sexy M&Ms and Testicle Tanning?

[Darkstar53142]

17. Get Out the Skeleton on the Park Bench Meme...

...and place "Waiting for Fox News Retraction" underneath.

[IronLionZion]

21. Tartus is a navy base on the Mediterranean. Fordow is an underground mountain base

but brown is brown when you're Fox News

[ificandream]

22. Hannity is a stooge.

Not a journalist or anything close to that. The Fox Fraud Network is Stoogeville.

[AZ8theist]

24. Hannity is a liar? Color me unsurprised

[underpants]

27. His radio show is like another language

I’ve said many times that it takes 3-5 days for anyone who never listened to his radio show to figure out what in the hell he’s talking about. The first 10 minutes are a whirl of lies, obscure references, I’d guess inside jokes, and rambling nonsense.

[AZ8theist]

34. I've seen clips of him. Let's just say he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.....

[Evolve Dammit]

25. And we allow this non-stop propaganda brainwashing while they make millions. Sickening

[mahina]

28. The BBC of all entities should definitely not use the word conservative anywhere remotely near these people

There is nothing conservative about them

[Bengus81]

29. Bet you ex wife really misses you Sean

[Martin68]

33. Sean Hannity and Fake News are synonyms.

[Figarosmom]

35. So did trumps team send shawn

That shot to show or did Shawn just dig it up from stock footage?

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

36. FOX NEWS, We Distort, You Deride
