Shep Smith does not inspire me to turn on the tube. Beck does. Beck would add millions of lead-in viewers to the O’Reilly show.

Why is FoxNews allowing Smith to prevent O’Reilly from surpassing Katie Couric’s ABC Evening News? It would be HUGE, in fact historic, to be the first cable news show to surpass an evening news show in viewership.

Beck will get O’Reilly there. Shep will not.

No doubt about it.

Actually he has already surpassed Couric, he is probably more afraid that Beck would surpass him, else Beck would be there.
