He hits his knees at least five times a day.
And he ain't aiming for Mecca either.

Prominent on-air news and opinion hosts at Fox News are going at it tooth and nail, as ailing 86-year-old Rupert Murdoch moves to hand the reins of the network to his liberal son Lachlan. In early February, I got wind of an internal war bubbling below the surface at Fox News. The combatants included several prominent on-air personalities, and there were growing signs that they were gearing up to engage in a serious battle with one another. The conflict pitted representatives of the daytime hard news department against several stars who are faces of the channel during prime time, when opinion-themed shows dominate. Like many Americans in the workplace, beliefs in different opposing ideologies were pushing these people apart. Adding fuel to the fire in the highly competitive hothouse environment of cable television news were jealousy and resentment.
Finally, this past week, the battle went public. It involved three top Fox News personalities: Shepard Smith, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham.
Opening skirmishes in this long simmering conflict began last year, when veteran left-of-center Fox News hosts Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace were the first on-air talent to publicly throw down the gauntlet. Both of them are highly valued and well paid linchpins of the hard news side of the Fox News Channel. Last year, Shepard Smith, 54, the channel's lead news anchor and host of the 3 P.M. E.T. hour-long news show Shepard Smith Reporting, outed himself as a critic of President Donald Trump. Also in his sights were other prominent Fox News personnel who had defended Trump, including the channel's senior judicial analyst, former judge Andrew Napolitano.

“Want a good show? Replace Carson with Mark Stein.”
Tucker has him on as a guest at least once a week. Tucker may be inadvertently handing the crown to Steyn.
I remember him on that bridge/road after the hurricane..screeching for someone out there to get all those stinkin’ bodies otta his sight!
“Jesse Watters may be the question mark as his support comes from the right yet that may not be the right combination to keep and grow his job”
He is becoming Megyn Kelly. So full of himself. He thought he was filling O’reilys shoes. He’s in for a fall, methinks.
Murdoch should sell it to Trump MSM would be jumping out the 20th floor windows.
Shep Smith’s coverage of Hurricane Katrina was about as comical as it gets. He destroyed his own reputation as well as the credibility of Fox News with that one. LOL.
Cool.
The conservatives on Fox have finally realized that playing nice with these snakes only leaves you with a room full of more snakes.
Substance wise, I don't mind him. But that high - pitched voice when he gets into an argument drives me nuts!!
Buh Bye, Shemp.
“Try One American News.”
We recently switched from cable to satellite (sp?) TV and came across One America.
What a great channel!
He hits his knees at least five times a day.
And he ain't aiming for Mecca either.
Which is the reason that I never watch “breaking” news on FOX because it is always Shep doing the reporting. I would much rather read along here then go there.
Sean and Laura’s ratings pay Smith’s check
Tucker Carlson is a million times better than Shepherd Smith, with over TWICE the ratings to boot
Every night and its usually the same, typical response argument:
“No you're wrong” Carlson making funny faces and high pitched whining.
Like he has no idea what his guests arguments will be.
He could have his staff watch CNN or MSNBC to find out ahead of time then prepare.
I did not say anything about a messiah complex.
YAWN, I don’t get my news from TV anymore.
One America News Network’s app is available for free on Amazon Prime/Fire TV.
bttt
Never watched Smith but of course Carlson has the prime time 8pm time slot so he should have some viewers.
I have seen Mark Stein sub for Carlson a few times and he (Mark) is much better at it.
Even his facial expressions.
Carson comes across as feminine
