"Fox News Channel's Smith Buoys Reputation"
NEW YORK (AP) - Much like a youthful Dan Rather made a name for himself with stellar coverage of a Gulf Coast hurricane two generations ago, Fox News Channel's Shepard Smith opened some eyes with his work in the face of a powerful and blustery force.

And we're not just talking about Hurricane Hannity.

Smith's passionate reportage from a New Orleans highway overpass clogged with the sick and dying won critical praise, helped renew interest in his nightly newscast and earned him his first visit to David Letterman's couch. Letterman's people called even before Smith's memorable exchange with talk show host Sean Hannity.

Fox's chief anchor will increase his profile even more with a nightly radio newscast that begins airing Monday on more than 260 Fox affiliates.

1. Faux "news" must be destroyed at all cost.
I'll keep saying it until they are gone.

2. Shepherd Smith did good with this though.
Although I suppose that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

3. They are the state sponsored news agency in a fascist state

They are more dangerous than the Bush administration or all the Republicans because they control thinking.

They are on in banks.

They are on in Restaurants.

They are on in airports.

They are on in train stations.

They are on in bars.

It's 1984 all over again.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!

We're fucked...

4. Ahhhh, Shep.
Sometimes I watch him and I get the feeling that he doesn't believe a word of the GOP talking points he usually espouses. He should just come out of the closet and move to a real news network.
