9/11 Health Bill: Who Deserves More Credit, Jon Stewart or Shep Smith?
By Nathaniel Jones - AOL NewsGiving government health benefits to the 9/11 first responders may have seemed like a no-brainer to everyone from Barack Obama to Rudy Giuliani, but it took the efforts of two talking heads to push it through Congress. After months of debate, one compromise that included billions of dollars in benefits cuts and one extended act of public shaming for the opposition, the Senate unanimously passed a $4 billion bill giving health benefits to 9/11 workers today. In part, the public shaming of Republican members of Congress by Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Fox News' Shepard Smith can be ...
Lindsay's Father, Michael Lohan, Drops F-Bomb in Heated Exchange on Fox News
By David Knowles - AOL NewsColorful language seems to run in the Lohan family. Following the sentencing of his daughter Lindsay to 90 days in jail, Michael Lohan was interviewed Thursday by Fox News host Shepard Smith. During the back and forth, Lohan vented his frustration at those who have cast judgment on him for what they perceive as an inadequate level of parental involvement. Warning, the following video clip has not been censored: In the same interview, Lohan essentially made a similar claim about his ex-wife. "It just tears me up," he told Smith. "Especially to see that my wife, my ex-wife, is around ...
Conservatives Attack Fox's Shep Smith
By David Knowles - Politics DailyShephard 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. If, as Charles Krauthammer put it yesterday, FOX News created an alternate reality for its viewers, Smith has seemed somewhat reluctant to play along. As a result, some conservatives are calling for him to be fired. WorldNetDaily and Rush Limbaugh have aimed at ...
Applause: Shep Smith Drops F-Bomb On FOX
By David Knowles - Politics DailyFOX News anchor Shep Smith let loose with what many in America are thinking about the current debate roiling over whether torture is ever justified. His passion on the matter is palpable, and led him to use language that some viewers may find offensive:The "f-bomb" aside, the real story here is Smith's underlying point: This is America, we don't torture. We should not be using interrogation techniques designed by Communist China and Nazi Germany. They are morally wrong. Period. For those who counter with the argument that the torture was justified because it brought us valuable information ...
Blame the Media!
By David Knowles - Politics DailyTime for another round of America's favorite game: Blame the Media for Everything! Your kid gets bad grades? Must be the TV's fault, or video games, or JAY-Z lyrics. Barack Obama is elected president? Shake your fist and curse lefty blogs and Chris Matthews. So, fire up the outrage meter, here we go. . . Wait. What just happened? Shep Smith didn't get the memo again? The guy's going rogue on FOX right before our eyes. ...
Shep Smith Busts Joe the Plumber and O'Reilly
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyFox News anchor Shepard Smith is on fire lately. My partner in BlogTalk, Caleb Howe, kept telling a skeptical Tommy Christopher that the host of Fox Report and Studio B is actually a worthwhile human being, and I'm starting to believe. Here's Shep, who may be my new hero, patiently explaining a thing or two about journalism to Bill O'Reilly:I love how Billo tries to get on the journalism bus, and Shep politely asks him to stand clear of the doors.It just goes to show, you can't judge a book by its cover. Tommy Christopher co-hosts "Unusable Signal",on BlogTalkRadio, Tues through Thurs at 10pm, ...
Ralph Nader: Will Obama be an 'Uncle Tom'?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyRalph Nader's legacy has been in steady decline for some time. From consumer advocate, to presidential spoiler, to irrelevant windbag, Nader seems to be playing a game of limbo when it comes to public approval. Just how low can he go? Well, last night the stick may have just come crashing down for good. Here's his interview with FOX News' Shep Smith:Thanks for all you've done, Ralf. Seat belts, check. Airbags, check. Good stuff. But we'll take it from here. You get some rest. ...
