They’re nervous since Beck called Hussein a racist.
WRT Shep, i have to stand up for him on a couple points. I think the reason that Fox was last to name the guy was because should the name turn out to be wrong the WH would be all over them as not being a true news organization.
Secondly, maybe the Fox people on site at Ft. Hood were already detecting that a lot of what they were being told wasn’t true and thus they didn’t want to take a chance on screwing up the name.
Third, it was a Muslim name so screwing up the spelling or pronunciation or order of the three names are ways that should Fox err, again they’d be called on it by the WH.
And finally, Shep did hint that the guy was Muslim. He said to whomever he was talking “i won’t say his name. but the name itself should tell us something. Don’t you think?” That was a pretty bold statement imo.
I’m not a big Fox watcher, nor a big Shep fan, but i think he’s being beaten up over this unfairly.
President Bush and Laura went last night to visit the wounded. There is a thread about it that I saw this morning.
