In the summer of 2004, when John O'Neill and the Swiftboat Vets for Truth stepped forward to counter the "myth" of John Kerry with the truth about his service in Vietnam, Shepard Smith stated flatly on his show that the Swiftboat Vets were liars. He presented no evidence, he did no investigation, just HIS opinion. And, he has never retracted nor apologized for that accusation.

That one episode told me all I ever need to know about Shepard Smith.


You are aware that you just proved george wythe's point right?

No, I didn't. The statement was:

Shep is real, biased, sometimes over the top, but fair and balanced.

His treatment of the Swiftboat Vets was neither fair nor balanced. In fact, it was a clear case of professional negligence and malfeasance.
