White House senior aide Jared Kushner’s multiple omissions on required financial disclosure forms for his security clearance would “be a crime, punishable by prison” for other people, Fox News host Shepard Smith said Thursday. “Apparently not in this case,” Smith added. The White House has implied that Kushner’s frequent revisions to his financial forms to provide information that was incorrect or missing have caused delays which have held up his security clearance, even though he works with an interim clearance that allows him to view classified information. Two sources, however, also told CNN Thursday that Kushner will not obtain full...

Just watched Shep Smith castigate the gov. of Louisiana because the governor said "all lives matter". what an A Hole SS is.

Shephard Smith just interviewed Judge Napolitano on air on the subject of the two military tribunal trials just beginning at Gitmo. The judge went way beyond his competence in saying that "there was no constitututional basis for these trials." Fox News has no meand to post immediately any response to their mistakes on air. They also have no way to reach them by phone. (I know. I've tried many times.) The bottom line is that the Judge made statements that are appallingly, obviously wrong, and Shep nodded like a bobblehead and agreed with him. The Judge said that the Quirin...

Shepard Smith interviews 19 year-old Camille McCoy who accuses Democrat Alvin Greene of showing her obscene photos in a college computer lab. Greene is facing felony pornography charges. Greene won the South Carolina Democrat Primary earlier this week to run against Jim DeMint in the U.S. Senate race this Fall.

When you think Shephard Smith can’t outdo himself — he does. Here is video of Smith talking to David Biello, of Scientific American Magazine, about the impact of the Gulf Oil Spill Crisis on the region. Toward the end of the video, Shephard Smith says: “This could end up being the story of our generation, couldn’t it? Bigger than the attacks on the World Trade Center, bigger than most anything . . .”The Oil Spill is a terrible ecological disaster. But to compare this crisis to an act of war against the United States that killed 3,000 Americans in a...

Here is video of Fox News' Shepard Smith yesterday giving a personal commentary at the end of his broadcast where he blasted BP Executive Tony Hayward for having said he expects lots of lawsuits against his company because "this is America - there will be frivolous lawsuits." Smith launched into an indignant pounding of Hayward, for also having apparently said the oil leak in the Gulf is "a relatively small leak" compared to the amount of water in the Gulf. "Mr. Hayward, that Gulf is the source of life for millions upon millions of people, and plants, and other creatures...

Shephard Smith is something of a contrarian at FOX News. Over the past few months, he has often poked fun at Glenn Beck, criticized the use of torture on terror suspects, and this week, cited the Department of Homeland Security's report that singled out right wing hate groups when reporting on the Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting.

Fox News's Shepard Smith got into a heated debate over interrogation techniques Wednesday with colleagues Trace Gallagher and Judge Andrew Napolitano that resulted in the feisty host using an expletive I'm sure he wished he hadn't. Appearing on FNC's webcast "The Strategy Room," Smith took issue with America using any interrogation method that could be deemed as torture regardless of whether or not it gave results and saved lives (video embedded below the fold, strong vulgarity warning):

Hurricane Rita landfall is anticipated within the next few hours. Strong winds and heavy rains are battering southern Louisiana and southeastern Texas. MSM news crews are shouting over the howling winds as they foolishly describe blowing rain, swaying trees, and crashing waves through rain splattered camera lenses. It's a hurricane. We know these things already. An 18 wheeler rig reportedly overturned on an I-10 bridge. The fate of the truck driver is unknown at this time. Reports of widespread power outages in Lake Charles. KPLC-TV Lake Charles local news has remarkably improvised their reporting from a remote location. They are...
