Conservatives Attack Fox's Shep Smith
Politics Daily ^ | June 12, 2009 | David Knowles

Posted on 06/14/2009 12:42:10 PM PDT by libstripper

Shephard Smith is something of a contrarian at FOX News. Over the past few months, he has often poked fun at Glenn Beck, criticized the use of torture on terror suspects, and this week, cited the Department of Homeland Security's report that singled out right wing hate groups when reporting on the Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting.

Shep is a floating t**d that should have been flushed long ago, no later than Katrina. Time to replace him with Megyn Kelly.

Maybe he and CNN have cut a deal and is waiting for the ink to dry before joining them.

Just planting the idea he can no longer work or support the ideas of FOX.

Or like you wrote, maybe he did jump the shark after crying like a two year old reporting from NOLA on Katrina. Big drama queen.

We don’t like Shep. And the left hates everything from Fox News. So why does Shep still have a job?

Ole Shep has lost his mind and needs to go to CNN and take that POS Whorealdo with him.

Reality is really tough for old Shemp to handle. He cries his mascara off every time he is sent to cover a hurricane. He really needs to find a job that is less frightening to him.

Shep is not conservative, he doesn’t espouse a conservative point of view. I don’t think he’s a newsman, he’s a pundit and opinion maker. Why should he be fired? Even if he was Olbermann squared he shouldn’t be fired.

My suggestion: replace Shep with Beck, and put Megyn in Beck’s slot. No one would miss Shep, and Fox’s stranglehold on the ratings would continue.

If libs were smart, they’d look closely at Sheppard Smith. He is charming, entertaining, and not over-the-top leftwing (at least in his on-air personna). I’ve watched him for years and although I knew he was a lib, I enjoyed his broadcasts until his meltdown over the “waterboarding is torture” thing. Now I can’t stand the sight of him.

If they used more Sheppard Smiths instead of the ranting loons like Olbermann and Couric, the conservative movement would be in worse shape than we are now because we’d be watching THEIR news and thinking that it was fair and balanced.

Shep and Geraldo are FOXs token leftists. Half the time O’Reilly fits that bill, too.

I think we(society) take entertainers like this guy much too seriesly. As long as folks are wetting themselves over his act he wins. For all we know he’s marketing himself for his next big contract with MSNBC.

“Maybe he and CNN have cut a deal and is waiting for the ink to dry before joining them.”

Or his agent is shopping him around and he's auditioning so to speak. I don't mind him all that much myself, but then I haven't watched him much for several years. Fox does try to be “Fair and Balanced”, he may even be the one who doesn't give a damn and is tasked to do that sort of thing in order to build some history when/if equal time comes back. No one would believe it if some of the others started that.

Asks the question here:

Is FOXNEWS really conservative?

Shep Smith is a himbo, a pretty boy, eye-candy for the female audience of FoxNews.

Along with Geraldo, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and now Hannity giving all these nice-nice interviews with these bimbo celebrities(Kim Kardassian, Denise Richards, Jillian Trollope Barbieri)- - leads one to think that FoxNews is more about showbiz.

Instead of appealing to conservatives, maybe just patronizes us.

GIRL FIGHT!!!

"Shep Smith was arrested in 2001 after an altercation with another journalist over a parking place. Allegedly, a female journalist was saving a parking spot for someone and Smith backed into her car and yelled an obscenity to a group of bystanders. All charges against him were later dropped."

Shep reports that the schmuck that attacked the Holocaust Museum is part of a "right wing hate group". Therefore, he's either stupid or a liar, or both.

My take on it? It's deliberate.

ObaHamas is floundering around, and it's beginning to show. And, like all true Libs, a good defense is a good offense ... lie, obfuscate, mislead, misdirect.

These are soulless people.

Dang! You don’t mean it! He criticized torture! OMG! BTW, when did torture become a conservative sacred cow? For a group that is supposed to believe in principles, how do you reconcile torture which should have gone out in the Middle Ages?

parsy, who can’t see how any American can come down on the wrong side of the torture issue.

Here’s more of the story about Shep trying to run over a reporter in 2000 at the Fla. state capitol.
I think he’s creepy looking and looks fake: like a Ken doll.
And what do we care what his Lib opinions are?
He’s supposed to just report the news, isn’t he?
Funniest one was when he said “B... Job” on air by mistake(?) when talking about JLo. He apologized and said it would never happen again. It’s on You Tube.
I wrote to Roger Ailes at Fox to ask that he be fired. I hope lots more of us do the same.
