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.

Geraldo is another one.
The Holocaust Memorial shooter was no rightwinger
</sarc>
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.
Shep should not report on anything cept Bingo and turtle race results
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.

Heck yeah.
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.
“Conservatives Attack Fox’s Shep Smith”
*****************
Them basterds!
two of a kind
He’s a closet lib just like Kirsten/Kristen/Kirin? whatshername that traitored-up and moved to CNN
I ahve often wondered why Fox keep Whorealdo, That guy bugs me really bad.
Had to quit watching (listening) - replacing my gaydar was ruining my finances.
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.
I hate those three flushers, even with a big tank.
And what’s the deal with Shepard Smith and his female producer?
Poor little sheppy-weppy - he’s a “victim”, just like Letterman, c’mon all you evil conservatives, you know it’s true. /sarc
Shep’s gay....maybe the producer is a guy in drag....
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.

If two “right wing” nuts can be used to blame all conservatives, will the MSM take over several dozen Jews who operated our banks and crashed them be sufficient to blame all the Jews for America’s financial woes????!!!!!
AlfonZo he is great
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.
Whatever happened to that Paula Zahn chickee, anyway?
Where’d they find this guy?
Haven’t watched him or any of the other talking heads in a long time. Rather get the news from the internet.
Speaking of Megyn Kelly reminds me, what happened to Hearther Nauart ?
I’d pay good money to see Zo interview Bawney Fwank. It’d make the Fwank-O’Reilly interview look like a pillow 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."
I wonder how the ninny is going to react to stuff like this? Should we expect more flaming snits?
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.
Paula Zahn left FoxNews for CNN years ago.
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.
What’s a ‘right wing’ hate group?
Geraldo, Smith, and half of the time Orielly are the liberals, are they the only ones?
“Shep is a floating t**d
Geraldo is another one.”
Separated at birth... only by a mustache.
Megan is beautiful and has some smarts, but sometimes she don’t show them. Nothing that a year’s internship at wal-mart as employee wouldn’t fix.
parsy, the open-minded freeper.
Yeah, I was wondering how that turned out for her.
“Shep should not report on anything cept Bingo and turtle race results”
Here let me fix it for you:
“Shep should not report on anything.”
There you go.
Don’t you mean Shannon Bream-?
The one with the deep blue eyes.
By the way, whatever happened to Heather Nauart?
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=100732
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.
I do not watch Shep or BOR. Hannity bores me a tad (as much as I respect and love him as a person). I like Greta, but I am already doing my ZZZZZZs when she come on.
