Hats off to Shep Smith of Fox news

[brettdale]

Apprently he provided heartwarming coverage of Ted Kennedy today.

1. Not so fast...he did well on the hurricanes too, his anger real and yet...

he soon after lost his soul which he will no doubt do so again...as long as he stays with faux I will never take a hat off to him..

[bluestateguy]

7. I think he'll fly the coop once his contract is up

I think, don't quote me here, that he has at least another year left at Fox.

[AuntPatsy]

9. I hope that is the only reason...I do not doubt his anger during those dark days was real..

I just couldn't understand why he stayed

[grantcart]

16. he has called bullshit to Fox talking points several times

My permanent state of 'half-heimers' makes it impossible for me to cite them but several times this year he has shown an independent mind.

2. Shep seems to be the one of the few good ones over there. What do u think of Geraldo?

[alphafemale]

3. Yeah. He's one of or maybe THE only one there with a shred of human compassion and outrage

He was one of those who stepped outside of a simple "reporting" mode during Katrina and went apoplectic about what was happening in front of his eyes.

[virgogal]

4. His coverage of Katrina was superb too. I can still see him

screaming on a hot highway overpass that if HE could get there,why couldn't someone from the government come and help.

[Cha]

5. He's a strange one that

Shep Smith. I was thinking about him yesterday and his coverage on Katrina and why faux lets him do that?

[Skittles]

6. the man needs to get off FOX

it's obvious he has some integrity and does not belong there

[Maccagirl]

8. The day he resigns from Faux and quits cashing his paychecks

from Murdoch Inc. is the day I will respect him. Until then...never.

10. Do you have a link?

The one you have on your post doesn't have anything about it.

[Strong Atheist]

14. In case it has never happened in your years here, Welcome to DU!

:toast:

[spartan61]

11. Do you think there could be a trade?

MSNBC could trade Joe Scar for Fox's Shep Smith.

[ShenandoahAspen]

12. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Shepard Smith is the ONLY person on Faux I have any respect for.

[NYC_SKP]

13. Sheppard Smith on the Air. "We are America. We Do Not Fucking Torture"...

Yeah, I like him.

[seabeyond]

15. shep is the ONLY reasoning fox news and their watchers ever get. we say he should leave

and then tip hat off to.

but

if shep leaves then the audience of fox will NEVER hear a person question or challenge a single thing

[IcyPeas]

17. what about Greta von Sustren. I don't "get" her....

I know she is a Scientologist. Do they not practice "morality" and truth? Also her husband http://john-coale.blogspot.com/ is a democrat with a history of fighting AGAINST big corporations. Go figure!! She just doesn't make sense to me.
