You, sir, are a man after my heart! You're one of the very few on this thread who read my question. While most others felt the need to share their opinion of Shep Smith (yawwwn-n-n-n)*, you read my actual question. ("So my question is, do you believe FOX is being deceptive/disingenuous in their claims about Shep?")

Like a responsible, engaged news consumer, you have actually taken action to ask FOX to remedy the situation! I applaud you and am ready to follow your lead.

I don't mind if he's a leftist. I don't like that he's presented as a neutral news anchor. I spend a lot of time watching FOX News, so I have a vested interest in their being a legitimate news station. I want opinion and analysis limited to the opinion and analysis shows. I do NOT want it in my straight** news.

*I miss the olden days of FR when people were more prone to thoughtful replies and less inclined to the drive-by, I-didn't-really-read-the-post replies. The latter bores the liver outta me.

**No pun intended :)

I don’t have a problem with Sheppard being the resident leftist either if they need to exhibit fair and balanced programming, but they are doing it in the wrong way.

The knock on Fox by the MSM has always been that they are a biased network. It’s undeniable that their opinion journalists tend to be conservative, but those shows are clearly opinion shows and labeled as such.

Having one of their few straight news shows become tarnished by blatant personal opinions is not the way to answer the MSM criticisms although I suppose the MSM criticism will be muted since Sheppard is a closet gay and open lefty.
