Heilemann: For Trashing Trump, I Like Shep Smith More Than Ever
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/10/2015 3:22:08 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

What does it take to get a member of the MSM to praise a Fox News host? Simple: trash Donald Trump. On yesterday's With All Due Respect, co-host John Heilemann declared "I have always like Shep Smith, and I like him more today than I've ever liked him before."

So what had Shep done to enhance Heilemann's fondness for him? On his show on Tuesday, during a dialogue with Wall Street Journal editor John Bussey, Smith tore Donald Trump, and his plan for Muslims, to shreds. Smith called the plan unlawful, unconstitutional, fear-mongering, racist and "crazy." He claimed Trump "lied" about Muslims cheering 9/11, and described the Donald as a "carnival huckster" who "represents the worst, darkest part of all that is America." Reading between the lines, you might suspect Shep doesn't like Trump very much.

Trump continues to expose bias, corruption, and RINOs.

These two fags need to get a room and do their lewinskys in private.

Can't stand shep and when he comes on with "breaking news" if I happen to be watching FOX, I'm outta there.

I may have seen heilemann 2-3 times but he's never said anything note worthy, just another liberal talking head.

Even back in the day when I watched FOX (prior to 2012 when I quit TV news), it was impossible to watch Smith. I muted the tv or turned it off completely during his show.

His yelling style was off-putting. Beyond that, there is something strangely unreal or insincere or hollow about him. Hard to find the right words, maybe a disconnect from emotion, a robotic quality.

Others may feel the same. I never asked, but I recall wondering why they kept him on the air. He was on mid-day then so probably that was their weakest hour anyway.

Used to watch FOX all the time until they attacked Trump. Now I flick through channels to see what is being reported and when I see Shep Smith or Megyn Kelly the channels is switched over

The adverse reaction by some people to Trump is so strong that it makes me wonder if they believe he’s talking about their mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. In the case of Muslims and Arabs, I suppose he is but everyone else is just feigning their being offended out of cowardice.

Dear MSNBC,

Please hire Shepard Smith. So I don’t ever have to watch him again.

A non watcher.

One reason shepppie doesn’t like Donald Trump is easy to spot. The Donald is a normal man.
