Shep was great. He was human. He was a journalist. He had class. He may be possibly responsible for actually moving the rescue mission forward by hours if not days. His impassioned pleas and description, his true balance in the face of two sided finger pointing--wherein he explained that there WAS bad behavior, but there WAS ALSO a lack of response to human need that, he hinted, insiniuated a note of complacency, a complacency that might not have charitable origins, got everyone's attention.

Shep did yeomans work. He continued to point out that Aid was promised and Aid was not arriving. He put a human face on a catastrophe.He allowed his emotions to work in front of the camera for the good of his fellow man, knowing, I believe, full well he was compromising his Journalistic position as a professional above the fray. He did it to save lives. He is a hero.

Shep Smith should win a Pulitzer, and I hope he does. V's wife.

He is a hero.

Thank you for that post. And you are exactly right. He wasn't trying to be some drama king. He was, IMO, very impassioned and I for one am thankful that he brought the story to us as he did. It is hard to imagine what the reporters went through and witnessed last week. Surely it would have to change their lives forever. I was glad to see he looked so rested on TV tonight.

THANK YOU SHEP!!!
