I don’t care what Shep is...but from what I saw today...he wasn’t helping the debate. He was acting like one of the opinion guys... He should stick to “straight” news. I agree. Opinion journalism is not Shep's friend: his excitable little yapper dog manner makes straight news lively enough (even if his style isn't for me), but he lacks the philosophical base and seriousness necessary for opinion work. I like someone more serious like Hume, but given Shep's success, I guess there are plenty of people who feel differently.

I think something happened to Shep when he was covering Katrina; ever since he has been one step away from the looney bin and has a hard time dealing fairly with Republicans he interviews on his show.
