Sheperd Smith on Fox is having a breakdown

[Zuni]

I turned on Fox News for a few minutes to see what they were saying---Sheperd Smith was literally cracking up. He has seen so much death and suffering he is done with the talking points. Now geraldo is crying about babies not being fed and ranting about getting people out.

Geraldo is begging for the government to let people leave the convention center on foot

Now Sheperd Smith is complaining about people trapped in the convention center and people not being allowed to leave New orleans---over the bridge to Gretna

Fox News Uncensored---they weren't letting Sean hannity spin the situation.

This is fucking dire and Fox news people in the field weren't mincing words

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

1. Right because the dudes on the scene have seen and smelled the bodies.

They are seeing babies and old people, and even previously healthy young people, die for lack of food and water. In America. Kinda difficult to spin that.

[ispeculate]

Why are they locking people inside the convention center?

Are they gonna start murdering people tonight? What I mean is...is there a curfew? and what about the shoot to kill orders? Under what circumstances?

[Arugula Latte]

2. Wow, reality trumps propaganda once in a blue moon on Fox.

I'm amazed.

[wakeme2008]

3. It is one thing to seat in a nice AC building following the RW talking

points and another to be in the field and seeing died kids. :grr:

[mshasta]

13. and getting the spin from coulter....and make up and...

all the pretty shiny stuff that they have!!!!!!!!

[swag]

4. Roger Ailes must be pooping his pants.

[Zuni]

they were NOT following orders

Hannity tried to guide both Shep and Geraldo and they would not let him make this look acceptable

They straight up told it like it is. Shep seems at the end of his rope and Geraldo was fucking crying

[SledDriver]

5. No words...

[GoBruins]

12. They're locking people in the convention center?

This is... I can't even find the words. When the reporters at Faux News are telling the truth, things must be really bad.

[delhurgo]

6. They want to knock off Kathleen Blanco (D) and Mary Landreu (D).

For FoxNews its all about the locals pols, nothing about Bush cutting funds for the levees and flood protection.

[Karmadillo]

11. The reporting of Smith and Riviera is pointing at the feds, not the locals

nt

[delhurgo]

18. I didn't hear anyhting about the Feds, just the 'government'.

But if youve watched Fox alot during this disaster, especially recently, that means the Blanco Admin.

You should have seen O'Reily, it was all about Blanco.

[Halliburton]

30. hell I'd support getting rid of those DLC idiots

replace 'em with people who speak the truth.

[shance]

7. WHY arent they letting them leave??

n/t

[DainBramaged]

8. Hanninazi WAS spinning it

I JUST turned it on (and quickly turned it off) as he spun the Red Cross guy saying "there's only a little bit of a distribution problem in NO".

May he fall unconscious on a fire ant mound.

[Splatter Phoenix]

31. UNconscious?

Where's the retribution if he wakes up LATER? >_> he should be awake and alert for ALL of it.

In fact, let's cut his stomach open and fill it with ants, sew it back up and give it a few days. Or would that be animal cruelty?

[tlsmith1963]

9. Rebellion at Fox!

I hope it continues. Time for that hate-mongering network to get a clue. Fire O'Reilly & Hannity!

Tammy

[bagimin]

10. Fox rules

for a moment.......

[mshasta]

19. no fucking way fucking assholes...

[bagimin]

27. I SAID for a moment

don't argue with me. What could be better than one of foxe's own putting hannit in the corner with a dunce cap?

[Jamastiene]

14. I.am.speechless n/t

[Rex]

15. Smith was never all there to begin with

Same about Geraldo. I just hope they can do something positive to help the people in NO!

[Zuni]

20. They just told America straight up that the situation was dire

and they openly bitched about the failure of the Feds to provide food and water to many places

[Rex]

24. Maybe that is some redemption for those two men.

I hope they get madder by the minute! We need SOMEONE in the MSM to break down the walls of this bullshit, nightmare of lies after lies by Bush/Cheney. This should bring them around to the willful negligence of their bosses.

[jzodda]

16. Respect for Shep has gone up...

when hannity tried to spin him Shep's whole face bulged with anger

[Zuni]

17. my respect for Shep and even Geraldo has gone up tenfold

they straight up said---I am not going to help spin your bullshit. There are fucking people dying and living in fucking sewage

[Blue-Jay]

21. All Hannity wants to address is "looting and lawlessness"

Geraldo-fuckin-Rivera (whoda thunk it?) throws the truth in his fat fucking face, and the sonuvabitch cuts to some blond news-babe to talk about how well the recovery effort is progressing.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. And some National Guard Officer said most of it was just rumors

Hannity was cut short during the interview when the Officer (I don't remember his rank) in charge of the National Guard in NO said that they encountered very little in the way of violence or looting.

[dancingme]

22. Shep has seen the light

and it's not red, white and blue. It's black and poor.

[WI Independent]

23. I saw a lot of reporters/commentators...

shift noticably more conservative in the days just after 9-11. Geraldo was one, I remember many years ago when he favored the little guy.

I believe we will see a noticeable shift in the liberal direction now and in the coming days/weeks.

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. Holy shit!

Bwuhahahahahahaha!

That's a laugh because the rightwing spin machine and rightwing media are, I think, done.

I think the media have realized the moral bankruptcy of the rightwing, and have decided to stop taking their blood money and speak the truth, like they used to.

[geomon666]

28. They just started blasting Nagin

Saying he made the decision to evacuate the hotel and bypassed everybody in the Superdome. Did he really make that decision?

[fishnfla]

29. "Over the bridge to gretna"

the clusterfuck continues....
