Fox News Pulls for the Democrat Harold Ford Campaign

Posted on 11/03/2006 5:02:42 PM PST by BrerRabbit

Shepard Smith on the Fox Report, 7:45-49 p.m. ET, just gave Harold Ford a solid 5 minutes to trash his Republican opponent Harold Corker. Smith had Corker on briefly earlier and repeatedly trashed him for a "racist" ad featuring a blonde bimbo. Even after Corker reminded Smith that the ad wasn't his, Smith continued his tirade about "racism" and the GOP.

Yeah, Fox is a "conservative" channel.

Only a real racist would call that TV commercial "racist".

Who ever said that Shep Smith is a conservative?

It's quite annoying. I wonder if they're doing it at the behest of Rupert Murdoch who is a Hillary supporter.

As Corker is shown pulling away from Ford, will Fox News be all Ford all the time?

Personally, I think this is Fair and Balanced gone too far.

FNC (and Sean Hannity) are making up for the "cracker/tracker" story by giving Ford fair compensation for the erroneous reporting. As far as I'm concerned, that debt has been repaid.

Enough is enough already.

Shep is a sissy boy who makes my hair hurt. Ford is going down HARD on Tuesday. Book it!

Fox has a mix of liberals and conservatives. Maybe the libs outnumber the conservatives, but at least they have a mix. The other networks are a fully dedicated arm of the DNC.

Shemp? Oh, Shep Smith. He's a light weight
hysterical ninny.

I can watch some of Cavuto and O'Reilly.
I've been entirely turned off by H&C.

Well, I don't think I'll tar the entire channel, but I saw Shep earlier interviewing a local guy who said that the Ford campaign had been the dirtiest. Shep was having none of that, insisting both were equally bad and then essentially saying that Corker was worse for the blond bimbo ad which, according to him speaks to something dark and ugly inside those who reside in the south, which he knows very well because he is from the south. The poor guy sitting there also tried to point out that Corker didn't like or want the ad, but Shep was having none of that either.

It pains me that he is a big up and coming star at Fox because I think he is not a good or fair minded reporter and he gets nearly hysterical on his pet subjects.

"Shep is a sissy boy.."

He is not!
He's a girly man, there's a difference.
Has something to do with mascara.

Seems every time I look up, Ford is on Fox. One big campaign commercial.

Shep's brother has a restaurant in Tennessee, though I don't know if that has any influence over his blatant ignorance. I saw the show. Shep has apparently sold out. He can go the way of Couric and Rather if he likes.

I saw the rotten interview with Corker and couldn't stand any more, so I stopped watching Shep (who I rarely watch).

Fox News is okay, but we could use a conservative channel to balance the liberal news on all the other channels.

Yep, I was at the gym walking on the treadmill watching this! It was pathetic that Shep totally gave Ford all that time. But the funniest part of it was you could hear ducks quacking in the background! It was classic!
