I have had Shep on as background noise while I've worked today around the house. Just in the past hour or so, he has really sounded like a joke. First of all, he needed a simple lesson on economics by Jonathan Hoenig of Capitalistpig.com Then, he rudely interrupted Angela McGlowan who was trying to answer a question about so-called Republican attacks on President Bush.He also shouted down another guest by saying "That is your reality, not objective reality!"--or something like that. Pathetic. I also haven't heard one mention about D-Day this afternoon. Granted, I haven't been listening real close, but...

So maybe I'm a masochist. Today I'm home, cleaning the house, and have Fox News Channel on as background noise (when the vacuum isn't drowning it out!) Shepard Smith has gone on a litany this past hour that sounds like some high school know-it-all kid who wants to impress the teacher. Some of it doesn't make sense...he says a military solution isn't possible (has he heard of World War II? Gulf War? Iraq?)...he says there is 'no way' Al Qaeda and Hezbollah would work together...and he seems to think Israel ought to give up more land for "peace"--he just spent...

Shepard Smith just referred to the current situation in the Middle East as a set of dominoes. He also implied America can't respond because we are "spread out" all over the globe. He is about as frantic as any woman I've ever seen. He used the image of an "ink blotter" being knocked over by Iran...Look, I like FNC, and I watch them because their reporters are pretty good--but the fearmongering by SS is a bit over the top. Maybe I'm just gettin' too old to be fretting about it, and I certainly don't want to make light of the...

<p>Shep Smith was on his 3PM EST segment and talking with Wayne Simmons about paying for news in Iraq. Somehow the talk changed to Murtha and when Simmons said Murtha had bad-mouthed (or words to that effect) our troops, Shep went ballistic.</p>

Nothing Personal - - - - - - - - - - - - Trading places Bobby Brown poses as a schoolmarm, Val Kilmer as a prude. Plus, J.Lo gets dissed on TV. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Amy Reiter Nov. 12, 2002 | Talk about blowing it on national TV. Fox News anchor Shepard Smith had something fairly egglike on his face last week when he launched into what should have been a straightforward item about tension between Jennifer Lopez and her old Bronx neighbors. "J.Lo's new song 'Jenny From the...

The gay-oriented Houston Voice has "outed" CNN's Anderson Cooper and Fox News Channel's Shepard Smith, charging that they "choose to hide and deceive -- and to protect their incomes and images -- at the expense of contributing important weight and star power to the gay civil rights movement." Managing Editor Kevin Naff claims in an editorial appearing in the current edition of the Voice that Smith once tried to pick him up in a gay piano bar in New York City and that Cooper dodged a question about his sexual orientation in a recent New York magazine interview by...

Shep is back - they clearly realized he had to get out of there! He was just on Brit Hume's show briefly, seen in a suit clearly from NY or another Fox station. Bit of a blow to Shep's career I would say...

Don't have a link, but was wondering where has FOX News reporter Shepherd Smith gone? I haven't seen him since he blew his top on Friday. Maybe the idiot mayor of New Orleans didn't like being exposed for his preferential treatment of foreign visitors by letting them cut to the first of the bus excavation line. Where is Shep????

Via Mr. DawnTreader: Watching Foxnews coverage tonight (9/02) was a blend of hope mixed with some incredibly angry reporters. The story of what is taking place in Houston is inspiring. Juxtapose that with Geraldo and Shep coming unglued and angry. A truly bizarre night.

Slipping into a tracking booth to record headlines for his 7 p.m. national newscast, Shepard Smith bellows: "Bus meets semi in Florida, children critically injured." Why is Smith trumpeting a local accident as his third major story, before the FBI's blunders in failing to detect the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers? "Good pictures, and kids are involved," he says. They call him the anti-anchor here in the Fox News building, the sometimes smirking man from Holly Springs, Miss., whom nobody would confuse with Bob Schieffer or Brian Williams. Smith presides over a breathless, mile-a-minute, graphics-laden, video-saturated program that careens from war...

A farmer was left stunned after his pet pooch took to the wheel of his car - and drove it down a 40-foot bank and into a stream. When Arnold Luscombe's way was blocked by a herd of sheep he got out to raise the alarm, forgetting to set the handbrake. Spotting an opportunity, Shep jumped into the driver's seat, knocking the 28-year-old vehicle into first gear and setting it on a path to destruction. Mr Luscombe watched from a nearby house in Kingsbridge, Devon, as his car - and his dog - headed off without him. Flabbergasted, he told...

Okay, sorry . . . Been waiting for someone else to post this . . . But since no one has, let me be the first to display my ignorance. Shep Smith just had Matthew Felling, media director for the Center for Media and Public Affairs, on half an hour ago talking about Rathergate. In the middle of the interview Felling suddenly blurts out that the person who originally found the font discrepancy "has ties to the KKK." WTF???!!! What is he talking about and when will the unfounded lefty smears end?

March 28, 2004 News Reports for Ultra-Short Attentions By WARREN ST. JOHN t 5:30 p.m. last Monday, Shepard Smith, the 40-year-old host of Fox News Channel's "Fox Report," was hunched over his computer in the company's bustling Midtown headquarters, poring over the script for his evening broadcast, and searching for verbs. Mr. Smith, let it be known, does not like verbs. Whenever he finds one, he crinkles his brow in disgust like a man who has discovered a dribble of food on his tie. He taps furiously at his keyboard, moves the cursor to the offending word and deletes it,...
