Interesting tidbit:

###### FNC Sheperd Smith was recalled from the Middle East earlier than planned replacing Trace Gallagher on Jeniffer Griffin's suggestion.

I watched one of Shep's broadcasts. He was with Jeniffer. Shep had been there for over a week (IIRC), giving his rants-disguised-as-reports. Griffin, in this broadcast, was giving Shep a history lesson of the region, the elements of the conflict, the players, etc. It was obvious Shep was lacking in that knowledge.



After the Griffin history lesson, in later reporting, Shep reverted to his rants-disguised-as-reports.

[Glad to see Griffin has the influence to get Shep sent home. I also noticed that Hemmer was back in the studio late last week. I did find Hemmer's reports informative without the emotional rants Shep tended to show.]

I couldn't stomach his "reports" any longer.

Jeniffer Griffin needed to "protect" her sources and that was understood by her bosses.

Jeniffer Griffin and one other FNC reporter, the guy at night, big tall guy, can't think of his name are the hero's at FNC for this war IMHO.

Jonathon Hunt, the English accented Fox reporter was just on, giving his usual anti-Israeli slant to his report. He added this little bit of mangled prose

"Israeli jets are on the march..."

The image of F16s lined up four abreast with a band in front on the road into Lebanon is just a bit silly.

It sounds like something Sheperd would say.
