Another fit from Shep Smith
Rathergate.com — During the Republican Naitonal Convention, FNC anchor Shep Smith stalked off their Strategy Room internet broadcast because a guest referred to certain Democrats as “pro-abortion.” Yesterday, he blew another gasket when comedian Nick DiPaolo mentioned that the mainstream media were in the tank for President-elect Obama. Shep claimed that the media reflected the attitudes of the people, not the other way around. He referred to the Obama Presidential effort as a “movement.” (HT, TV Newser )
