FACT-CHECK: Shep Smith’s Fake ‘Debunking’ of Uranium One Story Ends in Humiliation, Embarrassment
Big Journalism ^ | 11/15/17 | Jerome Hudson

Posted on 11/16/2017 2:45:57 AM PST by markomalley

Fox News’ Shepard Smith drew applause from liberal media outlets Tuesday in a “fact check” marred with mispronunciations and misrepresentations.

Smith, one of Fox’s top liberals and who frequently opposes the network’s narratives, spoke at length on his show Shepard Smith Reports after Attorney General Jeff Sessions floated the idea of a special counsel to investigate recent revelations surrounding the 2010 partial sale of Canadian firm Uranium One to Russian energy giant Rosatom. The sale was approved by the Obama administration as it included the sale of 20 percent of U.S. uranium to the Russian giant.

In laying out the widely reported story, Smith mispronounced the name of the Canadian investor at the center of the scandal (calling him ‘Gweh-strah,’ then ‘Gwy-strah’ instead of the correct ‘Joo-strah’); the name of the government body that reviewed the deal (‘Si-fuhs’ instead of the correct ‘Sif-ee-us); and the name of a senior State Department official involved in the review (‘Fernando’ instead of the accurate ‘Fernandez’). Smith also incorrectly describes Uranium One is a South African company. It was Canadian and is now, in fact, a Russian state-owned company.

The details of the Uranium One story have received broad coverage from outlets such as the New York Times and considerable attention on Fox News, including a one-hour special hosted by Bret Baier which aired in 2015 on the release of the book Clinton Cash.

Among the many things Smith objected to was Clinton’s ability to influence the deal’s approval. “The Clinton State Department had no power to approve or veto that transaction. It could do neither,” he said.

In the past, I wondered how that ass hat kept his job at Fox, but then again, I wondered the same thing about Jerry Rivers and Juan Williams too.

Mississippi Queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, she taught me everything

Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Lived a Cajun lady, we called her Mississippi Queen

You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes was a-gettin’ their kicks
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was getting mine

Mississippi Queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, she taught me everything

This lady she asked me if I would be her man
You know that I told her I’d do what I can

To keep her looking pretty
Buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes was a-makin’ their bread
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was losing mine

You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes was gettin’ their kicks
Brother, beg your pardon, now I’m getting mine

Ohhhh, Mississippi Queen

Mountain - Mississippi Queen

They’re just there for show; gives Fox’s mantra “Fair and Balanced” street cred’s.

Shemp is clearly getting his talking points from the Clinton Cartel. This line of defense started last Sunday and aims to blame the book “Clinton Cash” and obscure the timeline. Pretty sure U1 was known here before that book(May 5, 2015)was published.

Great Guitar work by Leslie West on Mississippi Queen. Just wish the song was longer than 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Yeah, I just searched YouTube for a good while and couldn't find a single longer Live version that was very good. Guess they were one of those acts that needed help from studio technicians in order to produce quality stuff. And most of the long live versions simply stretch out the beginning guitar part, in most cases to an awful-sounding ridiculous several minutes.

“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”

Agree; but keep’em not in positions of authority or power. I like the saying, “if you’re going to kill the King, KILL THE KING! and, I would add all his henchmen. Meaning metaphorically the previous administration - all of them...
