Shepard Smith, A Giant Embarrassment For Fox News
Breitbart TV ^ | 11/12/08 | AJAY

Posted on 11/12/2008 4:32:11 AM PST by AJAY

Shepard Smith has long been an embarrassment for those of us who look to Fox News for reliability and intelligence. He always has been very unsophisticated and shows no sign that he does any homework to keep himself minimally informed. Study after study, including from liberal sources like the Washington Post and the Pew Foundation, have demonstrated the Obama bias of the MSM. He screams “preposterous” at his guest who points this out. Aggressiveness like his combined with a lack of intelligence is a witch’s brew.

For Shepard to know nothing about the MSM Obama bias is truly bewildering. What country does he live in? And to add insult to injury, the FNC Judge pipes up with support for this absurdity. I don’t really believe the Judge believes what he said in order to prop up an over-matched Smith.

With Brit Hume, as sophisticated as any contemporary journalist around, retiring from FNC, and Smith too dense to understand his own intellectual limitations, things don’t seem to be too bullish for the Fox News Channel. It’s truly sad.

Oh, and don’t worry about Hume retiring and possibly being replaced by someone like Smith. There is a rising star on FOX and it isn;t Shepard Smith. It’s Megyn Kelly, who is a REAL TV journalist, is gorgeous ,smart, has her head on straight, and is “twice the man” Smith is.

FNC has donned the kneecaps in hopes of being loved by the left.

NYPost has done the same.

WSJ ditto

National Review Online too

Other than a few trustworthy sites online there is no credible source for news and information.

He feels pretty while reading the teleprompter. I think Smith and O’Reilly target “lndependents.”Doocy and Kilmer are buffoons.I wish Fox would bring back John Gibson. I am annoyed by the newsreaders hired from Hooters (that includes Shepherd Smith).

Glenn Beck is an emotionally unstable bundle of tears.

He fawned over Al Sharpton to the point of puke.

Ugh.

Bring us some real men. Intelligent women, and informed on air talent.

I have not watched Fox News since about midnight last Tuesday. I’m gonna keep it that way. I’ve had enough.

The “nail in the coffin” Shepard Smith moment for me, where I said “Enough is enough”, only recently occurred, when prior to the election, Smith read an email from some DailyKos/Du’er type, who accused Shep of being in the tank for John McCain, because he works for Fox news. Sheppie-pooh went all ballistic over such a notion, and had a ranting, eye and neck vein bulging hissy fit. It was a really sick moment...

The powers that be behind FNC will not likely allow Megyn Kelly to rise to further prominence.

Smith is an effeminate little drama queen. I lost respect for him during Katrina, when he parrotted MSM rumors about rampant murder in the Superdome.

Too bad Brit Hume, the only news anchor for whom I have respect, is retiring. He’ll leave a pair of very large shoes to fill.

Doocy's ok, bit of a character but he's not reluctant to voice his dismay over liberalism's failure. Kilmeade is effete and probably voted for President-Elect Scatterbrain. Gretchen likes Gov Palin.

Shep's a smartly-dressed, more intelligent version of Ted Baxter. And where is he from? Can't place the accent. He always sounds like he has a cold.

As my buddy Fred Sanford would say:

Shep is light in the loafers.

It has been long said that Shep is homosexual and a Democrat.

I'm with you. Have been for a few weeks. When, I wonder, is someone going to see the profit potential in a conservative news channel. Sadly, probably not in my lifetime.
