In this case, he played the devil's advocate with a military guy defending Rumsfeld.
Exactly. It's how Fox can say proudly that they're fair and balanced. CNN and MSNBC can't say that.
You can present challenges to a guest without inserting opinions. He could have touted the bona fides of the critics. He could have discussed tactical mistakes. No problem. But , when he raises his voice and claims the Administration attempted to convince Americans Saddam was responsible for 9/11, that has no relevance to the discussion at hand. Is a highly opinionated statement and shows his bias.
I do believe that Shep's shows are supposed to be more NEWS shows than anything....and his opinions are just irritating, but, when he spouts WRONG facts, then he should be called out.
I think the the closest Bush or Cheney have ever come to "linking" Saddam and 9/11...was when Cheney was saying that that sort of terrorism is in play in Saddam's Iraq as well as with Bin Ladin..
I may be wrong, but I don't think either have directly linked them...just like they have NEVER said that Iraq was an "IMMINENT THREAT"...which is another false statement the left keeps perpetuating.
Sounds like you have been drinking the Sheepherd Kool-Aid.
I turn him on, mute the sound and just enjoy watching his pretty eyes, lol.
If you want to watch a bona fide Conservative news show, watch either Neil Cavuto or Brit Hume and that should satisfy you for the day.
