Shepard Smith, An Anchor Who Is Never Heavy

I'd rather watch Shep than Aaron Brown or anyone for ABCCBSNBC, but his show is hard to take sometimes.

graphics-laden, video-saturated program

Imagine, graphics and video on television. In a related story, the Washington post is supposedly word-laden and print saturated.

[SMARTY]

He missed his calling. Shep should have been a circus barker. He's just as cheesy and every bit as 'well spoken' and shallow. Cannot abide the man.

Hey Howie you idiot, the "FBI blunders" story is 4 years old!

He's a news anchor. It's the same thing.

Shep's from my hometown of Holly Springs MS. Me went to the same private school, myself three years his junior.

This article is funny.

Always nice to see a fellow college drop-out make good.

Gotta love this:

He keeps an eye on the CBS, NBC and ABC newscasts before he goes on, "but I could not care less what they lead with. I could not care less what's above the fold in The Washington Post or New York Times or Washington Times or New York Post."

video-saturated program that careens from war to missing women to what Smith calls "goofy things."

Like "Curb jobs"???

Smith presides over a breathless, mile-a-minute, graphics-laden, video-saturated program that careens from war to missing women to what Smith calls "goofy things."

Each of which begins with, "You are looking Live at....". In fact, I think FNC must've passed a memo around to every anchor reporting on a live story that that exact phrase must be spoken.

Didn't they steal that line from Brent Mussberger?

[Sybeck1]

He spoke at the 2004 Marshall Academy graduation. He even arrived at the graduation with an armed guard.

[Petronski]

You are Looking Live at a thread about Shep Smith.

[tarheelswamprat]

Last summer Shepard Smith called John O'Neill and the Swiftboat Vets "liars". I never heard him retract that statement or apologise. Consequently, I have absolutely no use for him.

[Huck]

Personally, I don't know why anyone watches any tv news on any channel, except for a big breaking story like a shuttle crash or an earthquake.

Me went to the same private school

Where you majored in English? :-)

LOL! I saw that one live, and about fell off of my couch laughing. A true classic. I have a vidclip of that around here somewhere. I looked for an online link, couldn't find one, for those who don't know what we're talking about.
