		<description>Smith is the only one on Fox that actually relates something close to the actual story that is being covered.
He is a brave man....and deserves kudos.....
It sort of parallells the &quot;even a broken clock&quot; comment.

Thanks Shep

		<description>I have a hard time giving Shep a lot of credit for being normal. In comparison to the rest of the wack jobs over there at Fox he seems reasonable, but in the real world he comes up short. He is right he does belong at Fox. It is just that the radical right has no tolerance for things they do not agree with, actually no tolerance for anything. The purpose of fox is to support their radical vision of the world. The ratings at Fox is due to their viewers who need constant reassurance that their philosophy, if you can call it that, is not extinct.

The other thing is that Shep has the shiniest eyes on TV, wonder what that is from?</description>

		<description>Form what I&#039;ve seen of Shep Smith he&#039;s a a rational guy with some common sense--which makes him really stand out in the FOX stable of sycophantic hysterical moronic ideologues and as such he therefore DOESN&#039;T belong on FOX. 

I guess Mr. Smith thinks being the lone voice of reason and and rationality on FOX is somehow a noble and honest cause. 
To believe that he has to believe that he&#039;s making a difference. 

He doesn&#039;t. 

At some point he;s got to recognize that although he doesn;t follow the company crowd in his reporting, he is still a company man, used by FOX to continue to justify their fraudulent claim of &quot;balance&quot; on the technicality of his presence in the line-up. 

Shepard is going to have to face up to the fact that no matter how good his intentions, he&#039;s ultimately whoring himself.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&quot;When a crazy man has walked into a Holocaust museum and shot the security guard, maybe that’s an appropriate time to warn people: you’ve got a crazy person in your life, keep an eye on him,&quot; [Smith] said in an interview in his Manhattan office last week.

Mr. Smith said he fully anticipated one result of those comments: the nasty e-mail increased.

&quot;Thousands of them,&quot; Mr. Smith said. &quot;And I know they don’t mean the things they say. I know they don’t hate me and want death on my family.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

*********************************************************

I wouldn&#039;t be so sure of that, myself.  I realize that this may be largely due to the fact that when I was working toward my psychology degree, most of my professors were Freudians -- but I happen to believe that people never say anything that they don&#039;t mean, even if only on a subconscious level.  Most people simply choose to deny that they meant what they said -- either because they don&#039;t have the courage and maturity to face the potential consequences of expressing their hostility openly, or because they can&#039;t consciously acknowledge the depth of their own hostility and are shocked when it makes itself known.  However, the brain and not the mouth is the organ which ultimately controls what people choose to say -- so any sentiments which people choose to express are already in the head before they come out of the mouth. 

This is one of the reasons why it&#039;s said that a drunken man&#039;s words are the sober man&#039;s thoughts -- alcohol has a way of lowering people&#039;s inhibitions, sometimes to the point that they&#039;re more inclined to say things which they secretly feel but don&#039;t have the courage to say while sober.  Since anonymity -- such as is often found in a screen name or (to a lesser extent) in an e-mail address -- often has a similar effect of encouraging people to say or do things which they would not have the courage to do openly, it&#039;s reasonable to conclude that many of these people are expressing what they truly feel even though they might not/would not have the courage to do so to Mr. Smith&#039;s face.  (As Aesop stated in his fable of &quot;The Wolf And The Kid&quot;, it&#039;s easy to be brave from a safe distance.)  Anyone who&#039;s been listening to the right-wing commentators or reading internet posts from conservatives and/or Republicans over the past ten years or so knows that a lot of these people are seething with suppressed anger...try as they might to deny it or hide it, it nonetheless comes out in nearly every word they utter.</description>

<p>This is one of the reasons why it&#8217;s said that a drunken man&#8217;s words are the sober man&#8217;s thoughts &#8212; alcohol has a way of lowering people&#8217;s inhibitions, sometimes to the point that they&#8217;re more inclined to say things which they secretly feel but don&#8217;t have the courage to say while sober.  Since anonymity &#8212; such as is often found in a screen name or (to a lesser extent) in an e-mail address &#8212; often has a similar effect of encouraging people to say or do things which they would not have the courage to do openly, it&#8217;s reasonable to conclude that many of these people are expressing what they truly feel even though they might not/would not have the courage to do so to Mr. Smith&#8217;s face.  (As Aesop stated in his fable of &#8220;The Wolf And The Kid&#8221;, it&#8217;s easy to be brave from a safe distance.)  Anyone who&#8217;s been listening to the right-wing commentators or reading internet posts from conservatives and/or Republicans over the past ten years or so knows that a lot of these people are seething with suppressed anger&#8230;try as they might to deny it or hide it, it nonetheless comes out in nearly every word they utter.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5696965', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;RealityCheck Says:
Why should you leftest care anyways? You can get all your propaganda from the other news networks anyways.&lt;/em&gt;

I think you mean &quot;leftists.&quot; There are more than one of us, so the S is needed on the end to make it plural. And it&#039;s &quot;ist&quot; not &quot;est,&quot; which is a superlative form of the adjective left, not the noun version of leftist, or person who leans left politically. I don&#039;t think you were paying attention in grammar or spelling class.
That said, it is really too funny that you think the other news networks are propagandistic. No network is worse than Faux News for presenting cut versions of Obama&#039;s speeches that are edited to incorrectly present his positions and make him look bad as a result. No other network is as critical of Obama than Faux. And no other network sucked up more to Bush-Cheney than Faux, whose head, Roger Ailes, is a former GOP political operative, NOT a former news journalist. Faux is our very own U.S. form of Pravda.
Go back to school and take some courses in grammar and critical thinking, instead of swallowing Faux&#039;s propaganda whole.</description>

		<description>Kudos to Shep for trying to breath a little reality once in a while into the nonsense that is that network&#039;s programming and their corporate water-carrying agenda.</description>
