I wonder what kind of behind the scenes drama, if any, happens around Shep's show...


HP Lovesauce - 2009-10-28

Man, I wish I could work at Fox news just for the water cooler gossip. Same goes for Area 51.


Frank Rizzo - 2009-10-28

Im starting to like this man


zatojones - 2009-10-28

He's playing a role designed to expand Fox's viewership. All cable news is theater


Frank Rizzo - 2009-10-28

hmmm.... good point


Walt Henderson - 2009-10-28

Well, I'd still rather have Shep Smith as the main character over Glen Beck.


charmlessman - 2009-10-28

Shep's career at FoxNews ends in 3... 2...


CaptainJesusHood - 2009-10-28

Don't hold your breath. If he really was outraged, he'd quit and go to another network. You know how much rival stations love a turncoat. This is the news equivilant of the bully who helps you up and acts concerned because he realizes a teacher is watching.

Hey guess what, FoxNews is an entertainment product. People tune into it because it mimics its newspaper equivalent, those large-fonted, sensational posts that Murdoch so craftily engineers to appeal to people that prefer shocking and clever headlines to actual news and critical thinking.

I don't understand why you can't understand that this is completely fabricated. People are laughing at you right now.

What isn't fabricated is Glenn Beck's level of insanity. He really is a very fucked up man, but he makes Fox lots of money. In order to make even more money, Murdoch assigned Shep to be the anti-hero in the little game that the studio heads invented.

In a year, Murdoch will publish Shep's first book (under HarperCollins, probably): "Wise Guy: How Shep Smith Shepherded Truth to FoxNews" and it will sell 5 million copies. Then Shep will have his own program somewhere, if Murdoch thinks the formula works.

My God, we're playing right into their hands, watching maybe 30 seconds of Shepard Smith per week here on poeTV! Hopefully, in time, the world can forgive us.


fatatty - 2009-10-28

He's bringing truth to power man!

5 cause it was a funny dig, even if Rupie didn't hear it through the wads of money in his ears.


charmlessman - 2009-10-28

Baleen... we know.


baleen - 2009-10-29

hey charmlessman, copnenhagen, denmark, shamwow, dongwhat, fleshcusion


kingarthur - 2009-10-29

I dunno...I want to believe bad enough that Shep is a spanner in the works over at Fox and that the management freaks out every time he says something like this, BUT...

It probably really is a symptom of 24 hour news and Fox in particular lowering the level of debate to pro wrestling.


Nithing - 2009-10-28

Anyone remember when Shep ran liberals over instead of being the designated Fox News Heel?


Stog - 2009-10-28

This shit is played.


Sodomite - 2009-10-28

I cast my ballot in agreement with the argument that Shep Smith is a fucking doppelganger.


CaptainJesusHood - 2009-10-28

I think you mean just 'a disingenuous prick'. A doppelganger is like a clone or something. Unless I missed the jist of the comments are we are all in agreement that Shep is a creature of Germanic folklore and not just a douchebag playing a role.


kennydra - 2009-10-28

Shep, if you really disapprove of Fox News' shenanigans, then stop taking a fucking paycheck from them. 5 stars of evil for "news" that is basically pro wrestling with headlines.


Blaise - 2009-10-29

At least Shep does a better job playing this role than does Juan Williams and Greta Van Sustern.

Funny how they are both supposed to represent liberal voices yet seem to agree with Republican hosts/politicians more so than not.


mumbly joe - 2009-10-29

shep is fair in an unbalanced world.
