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

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

zatojones - 2009-10-28 He's playing a role designed to expand Fox's viewership. All cable news is theater

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.

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

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.

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.
