In Shep's defense (i can't believe i just said that) it would be a little un-nerving to have a bunch of arty rockets go flying over your head.
I can just see it now at some Hizbullah kaytusha position 5 miles from the border with the TV tuned into FOX. "Hey Achmed come here, wanna see something funny, watch this, wooooosh . . . 15 seconds later . . . that Shep Smith is a riot, let's do it again"
Oh, I'm sure it is. Totally unnerving. He's just so melodramatic.

Middle East Crisis: Monday Coverage Notes
FNC's Shep Smith will anchor Studio B and The Fox Report live from Jerusalem today. He "was on the scene for the deadly attack in Haifa" and "he'll tell you what he saw..."
was it not even live?
