The initial moblike news (in this regard, Fox News’s Shepard Smith was especially culpable in whipping up frenzy when he did not have the evidence to support his allegations) that a white, Germanic-named vigilante ran down and executed a small African-American child (at least Mr. Martin seemed so from his adolescent photos in the press) eating candy while strolling in an exclusive gated community is not quite the entire story.
Shep's conduct in whipping up the lynch mob mentality has been execrecable beyond any ordinary standards of vileness. It makes an obscene joke of his assertion that Fox News' readers are "journalists." He should be fired immediately and Fox should pubish an immediate, total retraction of his slime and a complete apology to Zimmerman for its vile attempt to have him judicially lynched, an effort equal to the most repulsive tricks of Joe Stalin and Henry VIII.
Well said...Shep is no journalist, he’s a screaming little wimp that consistently flies off the handle and editorializes his leftist views instead of reporting the news, he’s done it for years.
He’d be a good fit at PMSNBC, I’m sure he and Maddow would hit it off well.
