(Unconfirmed Vanity) Fox News Reports: Romney Campaign blamed for planting false story on Thompson D

Vanity Shepard Smith's Biography ^ | Jan 03,2008 | Fox News

[Maelstorm]

I was just watching FoxNews Shepard Smith. The Romney campaign is being fingered as the source for the phony story about the drop out.

One of the Romney jerks is on making snide remarks.

[Preachin']

I strongly believe it.

[mtbopfuyn]

Wrong link.

Go, Fred!

[rightinthemiddle]

I hope the “pundits” on Special Report acknowledge this tonight.

After the Politico and CNN, Fox News has dissed Fred almost as much.

[NavVet]

Doesn’t surprise me. Anyone that would work for a man without principles, certainly wouldn’t be above such a move.

[dead]

No surprise. What’s surprising is how much Shep looks like a young Leona Helmsly in that picture.

[TornadoAlley3]

Fred’s campaign guy said they did not know who started it, but Fred is not quitting, Romney guy said they did not do it, they did not even know Fred had gotten in the race.

[KC Burke]

Your link only goes to the Shep bio...no story given.

[Maelstorm]

It required a link. I don’t have the video yet but I will get it.

[donnab]

Fox has had a lot of Romney supporters on in the last two days. One panel member had to fully disclose that her husband was a consultant to Romney. Did they jump the Guiliani train?

[underground]

FoxNews sticking up for Thompson or trying to bail Giuliani out of his incredible Iowa failure by trashing Mitt? For some reason, I don’t think Fox would be doing this for Fred’s benefit.

Hmm

[commonguymd]

Not surprised. Mitt plays dirty. The fact that he chose to throw junk at Fred via his lifeline at Politico tells me they are seeing a FRED surge.

[Vision]

I can’t believe it. /s

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

This could get very bad for Romney. If this is even seemingly true, a last minute “dirty trick” is not what your campaign wants to be all over the news a couple of hours before the caucus starts.

If this gains traction in the next couple of hours, it’s absolutely unpredictable as to what will happen tonight.

[mnehring]

Bump

[Maelstorm]

It was live video on Foxnews.

[SlowBoat407]

Romney guy said they did not do it, they did not even know Fred had gotten in the race.

Umm, when you're trying to maintain your innocence, it's not a good idea to take potshots at the guy you supposedly injured.

[CitizenUSA]

“One of the Romney jerks is on making snide remarks.”

Fits well with the other jerk who is making snide remarks, Shepard Smith. Fox News reaches a new low every time Shep opens his trap.
