Shep Smith is biased against Israel and a bleeding heart liberal.

I am tired of listening to Shep Smith from fox news in describing the fighting in Beirut. I have watched intently and am disgusted with him. It is quite apparent Shep is a liberal and has an agenda. He will make small comments in his reporting taking cheap shots at Israel, yet making Hezbollah look strong. I just watched him interview some young Israel soldiers and the ones he put in his report were anything but seasoned soldiers. Shep would ask them questions like "Are you scared?", "are Hezbollah fierce fighters?", etc. It was sickening. Heh Shep, while don't you STFU.

Fox News is a joke, like the rest of the MSM, only more of a caricature of the news. Other than Brit Hume, the rest of the programming is terrible. Ok, some of it is not bad, but the news division is a joke, seriously. Its a shame it is seen as "conservative", and it is, perhaps, compared to the MSM, and thats why conservatives tend to like it, but make no mistake, it IS a part of the MSM, just a different flavor.

I had the same reaction to his interview with the parents of the abducted soldiers. I felt embarassed for all of them--Shep, the parents and Fox News. It was just AWFUL. He didn't know what to say and kept saying that. The parents were so gracious and looked so good to put up with his yammering. I noticed later when FNC replayed some of the clips, they cut out all of Shep's comments and let the father speak. That was a good call.

Brit Hume, John Gibson and Davdid Asman (not sure about spelling) are their best IMO.

A drama queen..

Got that right! I turn the channel when he comes on. Can't stand listening to him. He is a male Christiane Amanpour without the accent.

Agreed, Brit Hume is the best in the business. His show is the best news program on cable, especially when Charles Krauthammer sits on the panel.

Quite frankly, I doubt that CNN would have him. He is not talented. This is over his head. I don't like WHAT CNN reporters say, but they tend to be professional. Shep is not.

Shep is reporting like he's an Al Jazeera reporter.

Good for you,jrooney!! belated welcome to FR by the way... My only issue with your thread is it's like the 15th of it's kind... Don't get me wrong, I'm as big an ass-whoopin' fan of anyone named "Shepard" as the next guy, I just think he's laying there with the snot beat out of him amongst a whole bunch of dead horses...

What does that mean? Newbie?

It means you don't seem to know the rules about what constitutes "News/Activism." This should go under "General/Chat."

Takt the time to read all my posts or grow up.

I did read this one, at the least. You made it easy by not putting a lot of detail in it, nor did you make a case of Smith's bias.

Next time, do all of us and yourself a favor and try to make it more like something you would find at NewsBusters or the Media Research Center, who don't throw around charges of bias without backing them up.

You know I agree. His reporting is disgusting to the point that I turn him off.

He emphasizes that Hezbollah is strong and that they have the full backing of the Lebonese people.

He says they are putting up a strong resistance to Israel.

And on and on, as if he's got a direct link to them.

Take him the hell out of there and off the air. I've stopped listening to his worthless program for weeks now anywany.

At 3:00 and 7:00 everyday, I make sure to turn off FOX while this moron is on the air. This cluck is so dumb, I couldn't watch anymore of his mispronouncing words and misreading the "idiot cards" put in front of him.
I don't know what Roger Ailes is thinking by putting this dope on twice a day.
He is FNC's Ted Baxter. Maybe Shep has some pictures of Ailes on the 'Grassy Knoll.'

Thanks and sorry if it is the 15th type thread on Shep (first from me though :). I just could not tolerate the biased reporting and needed to vent to my fellow freepers.

Well if there's chance the Iranian suicide bombers can get in the US, perhaps Shep can steer them over to the NYT, then FN. Come on home Shep, the enemy needs ya.
