I always thought ‘Shep’ was a “Shlep”. He just proved it.
Is it Fox News’ fault that Corzine can’t grow a pair?

WTF SHEP When did you lose your manhood and feel the need to PC all over the place. That was sofa king lame Shep. I used to respect you…not so much anymore. Get over the fair and balanced crap for every single story. IT aint gonna happen.

Look for Shepard to slide over to CNN to replace Anderson Cooper, who will slide over to CBS. He’s preening for the CNN powers-that-be, that’s all. Buh bye, Shep… don’t let the door hit you in the ass.

Most every night, I watch FOX NEWS from 5:00pm central till 10:pm central. Bret,(CNN Lou Dobbs) Bill O, Sean and then Greta. I do, however, switch from FOX to CNN to watch Lou Dobbs from 6:00 to 7:00 when shep is on.

Shep has gotten under my skin ever sense Katrina. I used to like Geraldo too, that is until he got stupid with amnesty for rewarding law breakers.

(Glenn is on too early for me to catch).

It starts out with a sarcastic statement that Corzine is going to win.

Shep’s just ticked that he wasn’t promoted to the six o’clock hour when Brit Hume retired. He’s been a liberal toady from day one — it just became obvious during his hysterical (as in ‘hysteria’, not ‘funny’) reporting on Katrina. “My God, why doesn’t someone DO something…people are DYING here”

Uhm, Shep…you’re standing RIGHT THERE. YOU could do something a lot faster than any of your viewers, or government, or FEMA. But that’s what leftists DO. Scream that someone (else) should DO something (usually, whatever the leftist wants done) — but they wouldn’t dream of actually doing it themselves.

That’s why conservatives are more generous per capita than Ebenezers like Biden and Obama.

But once Teh Won was elected…Shep has been a non-stop boot polisher.

Shepherd Smith is such a boy. He’s a bad reporter and a worse anchor. Can’t stand the guy.

Always recall Shep standing in the French Quarter after Katrina blew through, and reporting that the inch of rain water was the worst it was going to get. Then … as the world watched the levies broke and the flooding began.

Besides, he looks like the Geico lizard.

I saw this in context as I watched it live today, and I was appalled, but not surprised. The smug Shep “We are America, we don’t f—ing torture” Smith has been off in left field for some time now.

On September 7th, Shep’s program’s “On this date” feature stated that “Uncle Sam” was born on that date in 1813. This was false. (“Uncle Sam” is cited in print a year earlier.)

I submitted the truth to the program and to Fox News at several e-mail addresses, but no one was interested enough in getting things right to even respond to me.

Shep’s got to go and take all the producers and writers on that program with him!

Katrina brought out the liberal in Shep, said to say, and he’s fully embraced it since The One’s inauguration.

Fox should fire him. Corizine refused to be interviewed, the public deserves to hear those willing to speak and judge accordingly.

I only see Shep the 5 minutes before O’Reilly begins… Ever since his frenetic reportage during KATRINA, he has been “fingernails on my chalkboard of life”… No thanks…

The clip starts out with him making the unequivocal statement that Corzine is going to win and then wraps it up with the “balance” BS. This is why I don’t watch him, he’s a tool. If I want that stuff I’ll watch MSNBC or bash myself on the head with a ball peen hammer.

I think dumping Shep just plays into the lefty narrative. Fox needs to keep him — but will the guy also apologize for MSNBC & CNN’s thorough lack of balance and ABC’s cheerleading for Obamacare and trashing of Palin?

“Multiple requests for interview” were unanswered… sounds like they tried, and were rejected. Only lack of balance is that of the D contender.

This is exactly how it happened. I’d guess ‘behind the scenes’ turmoil or Shep is just a grouchy b.tard every now and then. No sign as to which. Usually Shep seems somewhat journalistic, but on occasion he snaps and goes MSNBC on his viewers. Rather strange, but might as well get used to it. As the progressives [read; fascists] take the Dem party down, the plain old liberals like Shep will struggle with the guilt and perplexity.

Wishing Shep to MSNBC?? A disgrace to Mississippi?? Committed journalistic malpractice while covering Katrina??

C’mon….you people sound like a right leaning version of the loons who watch MS-NBC.

He's an arrogant ass. Always has been. Fox should have fired him when he tried to run over that woman reporter in Florida... Here's his mug shot!
