I saw him interviewing those Israeli soldiers (may G-d bless them). It was awful. Just as bad as that was his interview a few days ago of the wife and the father of one of the abducted soldiers. He tried so hard to turn it into one of those Couric-like goulish interviews, but the wife and father were such strong, fine people he couldn't pull it off.
You said it better than me. You are right.
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.
I think Shep has picked up some very nasty , overdramatic traits from Greta Van Facelift . She never misses an opportunity to leach onto and report about some poor soul's misfortune . Now Shep is acting just like her .
What nerve the media has! How dare they pry and poke and prod into people's deepest emotions? It is rude and insensitive. It makes me cringe.
