Shep Smith In The Tank And Clueless
Pat Dollard | Young Americans —
Blame the Media!
Politics Daily —
Filed under: Republicans, Media, Viral VideoTime 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. Permalink | Email ...
Fox's Shepard Smith Disputes Idea That The Media Secured Win For Obama
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
Via HotAir/Salon, here's Shepard Smith at his arch and acidic best, pushing back against the contention of comedian Nick DiPaolo that the media was "in the tank" for Barack Obama. I think you'll agree that Smith manages to make a lot of sense!
"Oh, please...the mainstream media reflected what was happening in this nation. It did not drive it. The blogs didn't drive this movement. The media didn't drive this movement. Barack Obama did not lose this election. It was his to lose, it was not John McCain's to win. The Republicans had no shot unless the Democrats gave it to them, and they didn't. And to blame ...

Where credit is due
Political Animal —
WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.... Last week, Jon Stewart told Fox News' Chris Wallace something he liked about the Republican network. "Can I tell you something, though?" Stewart said. "I have to say this. Yourself, Shep Smith, uh, you and Shep Smith both have your moments." That's true, and he had one yesterday. By way of my friend Alex Koppelman , this clip shows Shepard Smith responding to some conservative comedian who believes Barack Obama won last week because "the media" was "in the tank" for him. Smith would have none of it. I didn't agree with every word of Smith's analysis, but it was definitely on the right track. It's worth taking a ...

Shepard Smith Scores Another Point with Us
Hoffmania! —
This time, Shep slams perpetual comedian-in-training Nick DiPaolo after he spews out the unfounded "media's in the tank for Obama" line...which is as original as any of his standup material. DiPaolo seems almost dumbfounded to see a Fox News host take him on so aggressively. Smith continues to be the voice of reason over ...
“Despite Campaign Claim, Obama Told Paper He Attended Trinity Church ‘Every Week’”
protein wisdom —
Fred Lucas : President-elect Barack Obama said in 2004 – while he was a state legislator running for a U.S. Senate seat – that he attended services at Trinity United Church of Christ every week. This is in contrast to what Obama, as a presidential candidate, said this year after controversial anti-American remarks by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright surfaced. Obama then told news outlets that he did not attend the church frequently and was not aware of Wright’s comments. The comments from Obama about his church attendance appeared in the transcript of an interview posted Tuesday on the religious news Web site Beliefnet.com. The interview was ...

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 ...
