I might be in a minority but I like the fact that Shep is a barometer for the painful circumstances from which he is reporting. I would rather have a human reporter than a robot.

At least I know he isn't a Geraldo, who is cool inside and dramatic as needs be on the out.

I like Shep too. Can't help it, don't care whether it's cool to like him or not :)

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.

Shepard Smith was dramatic on the inside, and that was his problem. When a reporter is emotionally affected by a story it is too often simply not possible for that reporter to objectively pass information. The end result - he wound up in the same situation as Geraldo. He needed a change of assignment.
