Shepard Smith just referred to the current situation in the Middle East as a set of dominoes. He also implied America can't respond because we are "spread out" all over the globe.
He is about as frantic as any woman I've ever seen.
He used the image of an "ink blotter" being knocked over by Iran...
Look, I like FNC, and I watch them because their reporters are pretty good--but the fearmongering by SS is a bit over the top.
Maybe I'm just gettin' too old to be fretting about it, and I certainly don't want to make light of the situation. But seeing a freaked out anchor is a bit irritating, and doesn't add to the information or education about the news.
I think I hijacked your graphic.
>> The folks in Florida would have sucked it up, got to work and moved on a long time ago.
That's because most folks in Florida have made a habit out of working. A lot of citizens in NOLA never have.
I'm sorry I wasn't on that thread. I would have taken up for you. Because he WAS stupidly hysterical. And he almost got his @ss whipped by a local. I think he peed his Thursday panties. And this was on a Saturday.
You know we better be careful, Shep may try to run us down the next time we're all on campus for a game.
TAW
I suddenly got an image of Shep reporting on a shopping center being bombed by turkeys on Thanksgiving Day:
As Go-o-o-od is my witness.... Ithoughtturkeyscouldflyyyy. That's your G-spot - uhm block - stay tuned for...
uhhhh.... an ink blotter.... soaks up ink.
Poor Shep.
LOL
susie
That is a good way to describe his rants. Now look: he tosses to Wendell Goler traveling with the President. Goler is calm, gives perspective to the situation, and Goler tosses to a Bush sound bite: Bush's words are calm, too...
And yet, yet Shep finds reason to PANIC!
As soon as his face comes on the screen, I turn the channel.
OK then take THIS!
"Shep is a drama queen's drama queen."
Spot on.
...haha...with Greta giving blow by blow details
He was hissyterical. And people's image of him has changed since then...........
They really should have a live News team that can go up against CNN when..you know...Live News is occuring. Seems a glaring hole in Ailes' strategy. They should have a competent non-metrosexual backdrop to support their shows. I really dont want to watch CNN with my treason glasses on but sometimes have no choice.
.....sssshhhhhh......Anderson and Shep are engaged
To each other?........where they gonna honeymoon? Brokeback Mountain?.......
