Yes, Shep and Geraldo are THERE and I'm more interested in what they have to say, as well as in their human reactions, than those of the suits.
Bingo. You have it nailed. I am no fan of Geraldo but I don't think Shep Smith is a shill. A lot of former FOX fans are suddenly upset and "their" network because it isn't harping on "Good news in New Orleans." I suspect if these emotional reporters were trying to put a good face on the situation, they'd be praised here for their sensitivity.
