@RobinScott93 What is your point? This isn't the evening news. It's a 24 hour news channel - of course there's commentary! He let us know it was a commentary, so what's the problem? (Shep is the bright spot on FOX. The rest of them are always passing off their opinions as fact.)
@TheSoSoAgnostic Yes, there is going to to commentary, but not when you are reading the headlines. Obviously Fox is biased in their reporting, but I would have thought they would at least *try* to appear as a reputable news channel.
@RobinScott93 There's really not much in the way of news about the Gulf. We're totally screwed. They can't stop it. Commentary is all that's left. I live on the Gulf coast of Florida, in the Tampa Bay area. I am monitoring the Gulf. It's pretty sad, but wading in the Gulf is a relief from the news. The sand is white, the water is clean, the pelicans are oil-free and flying. If/when things change here, I expect I'll be hysterical.
I don't watch Fox but I have to admit that this well done commentary. This is the reason I call for a boycott of BP. I see no reason to still support the hand that slaps you.
BP is treating this as a joke, when my generation, and several generations after me will have to pass if not more generations before the gulf which is damaged from this spill will have recovered.
so i get novice and professional simpletons trying me daily? bitter and yet too sweet. ur fucking stupid bitches, say it assholes. say it. say it, cry turn away. lemme struggle more so u can feel that u can leave with ur head up. copy me yet again. haha.
Like this guy or Fox News gives a hoot about working class Americans, not like they said something of similar fashion about the real estate crash that cost the roofs of thousands of Americans' homes due to foreclosures. But then they wouldnt because they were probably in on it. REVOLT AMERICA!!
Yeah, and special thanks goes to Dick Cheny and the Bush administration who deregulated offshore oil drilling. Something to think about the next time a politician advocates a "drill baby drill" policy. Not going to mention any names *cough* Palin *cough*
@diseasedferret It's not Obama's fault that the regulations were not enforced when he took office. You have to place the blame on the person who said no to regulating the offshore oil drilling, which was Cheny. Don't get me wrong, I hope this tragedy causes Obama to rethink his policy on offshore drilling, but he is not to blame for the disaster.
@Hatchwork The spill happened in U.S. Waters, less than 100 miles off the coast of the United States. Why are you arguing semantics? Eff BP. Boycott them. Go Shep! A great Mississippian.
I heard testimony in congress that the head of BP was talking- and he was very apologetic and over and over said they would exhaust all resources fixing the problems to the maximum extent, they are paying people who are put out of work- maybe not as much as they would have made, but its a start.
What did exxon do after valdez? They flew the double bird to the world.
Muy buen reportaje de este periodista, pero odio el punto en que esta gente de corporaciones petroleras no vean la magnitud del problema, es el peor catastrofe de los Estados Unidos y claro el Presidente de esa compania minimiza el problema que sinico y falta de sangre en la cara por que no se va a pescar unas semanas al golfo de Mexico para ver que pescas estupido.

Wasn't BP in control of the oil rig when it went down?? Frivolous lawsuits!?!? That man is out of his mind!!!! Who's fault is it!?!? Spongebob? Aquaman?....Nice job Shepard Smith.
Ever since this crap started I've stopped getting gas at the BP which is almost literally across the street. I pick another one on the way to work, Citgo, Texaco, Exxon I dont give a shit as long as it isn't BP. It's time for a boycott folks, stop buying your gas at BP, and show these fools the people have more power than they think.
@SGTBizarro= I'm with you dude. I feel sorry for the fisherman. Thir livelyhoods are ruined. And the creatures of the sea too. I felt so angry when I saw a dead sea turtle put into a garbage bag. If anyone is going to sue BP, or planning to sue BP, go ahead. Waste their time and their money.
New estimates based on live video and independent engineering calculations is
7,000 Barrels a day, that's over 3 million gallons per day. Add to it the chemicals being added to breakup the oil, last heard was 500,000 gallons, besides you cannot believe anything any of them tell us. Green Earl, Thirty Year Conservation and Solar Pioneer. yeswecansolveit
as of now, 18 people dislike the video. and all 18 are liberals, although, everything in this video is supporting what several liberals stand for, protecting the environment. I find that odd. Just because it's fox news doesn't negate the words being said.
@goirish009 I'm liberal and I gave a thumbs up. Shep is one of the few people I like on the network. Great guy with integrity who doesn't give into network pressure.
@goirish009 haha, you know everything don't you, I agree with Shepard's criticisms, so what does that make me, a liberal, a conservative, an independent, a tea bagger, a commie, a socialist, a fascist, a blue dog, a libertarian, a german social democrat, or a Japanese liberal democrat, please, I need you to label me so I know what I am, america needs to be divided into political parties, lines need to be drawn, so I know who friend and foe is, so then I can demonize those who oppose me
You idiots who use the term "Faux News" crack me up. You don't even watch the news. You get your information from this very website all the while parroting the same tired comments that require no thought of your own. And most of the comments below are made by morons who are not in the energy sector and have no clue about its inner workings. To act as if you're appalled by this incident is a joke. Guess where your Prius battery is going when it's used up. That's right, the bottom of the Gulf.
This is just the same old focused pandering. If it had been Exxon, there would be no commentary. Instead it's a brit. And usually FOX is the first to point out how litigious Americans can be, and here they act offended. Has this guy released a similar commentary on Transocean? How about Halliburton? Shepard Smith is an actor reading his lines. Poorly. Yes, BP is shit. They're all shit. Don't make the mistake of thinking this guy isn't just a hatchet-man.
We need to implement more Chinese style justice on corrupt CEO's like this. The Chinese have executed executives who have committed fraud. Remember the tainted drug and milk scandals in China? China has the balls to simply eliminate sh$t like this from the gene pool. I have a hankerin' for some Chinese!!!
@WestTexasBliss I'm pretty sure the Chinese government does not execute the families of the corrupt executives. Until that happens, they will remain i the gene pool.
Even "Drill Baby Drill" FOX NEWS can not deny the scale of this disaster. Anyone that thinks that gulf drilling, Alaska arctic range drilling will be safely conducted under the caring and watchfull eye of the industry needs to book a weekend on the gulf coast.
Unfortunately we don't know for sure exactly how this happened or exactly who was at fault and why. Until we do, it's impossible to say exactly what public regulators could or should do to reduce risk. However BP is and should take responsibility for the clean up and not tax payers.
Everyone here if you dont like whats said by the guy dont buy from bp. Its as simple as that. its only every gas station in the United States. That will show him the true impact of this disaster.
Feel free and copy and paste this in all videos related to this incident.
Too bad the Fox news channels doesn't give a shit about other energy companies spewing pollution into the atmosphere like all the coal-fired power plants. I wouldn't be surprised at all if 2 hours later on Fox news they bash the climate bill by saying (lieing) that it's gonna ruin our economy.
@jpmorgan187 haha fool? Let's look at it logically: if it's more expensive for energy companies to do business, then they will have to pass that cost onto consumers; consumers like everyone in the U.S. that uses electricity, etc. Do you know ANYTHING about economics or are you just another mindless sheep? or maybe the real fool?
Oh geeee, their profit margins are soooo slim they have to pass on the cost to the consumer. Get a clue. It's called scar tactics. Try watching something besides fox news, fool.
@jpmorgan187 Wow you really are just an idiot I guess. It's called ECONOMICS. Try and learn about it because you clearly know NOTHING about it. Let me see if I can teach you something or if you're too stupid to get it. If a company wants to make a profit and they are suddenly slapped with a cost increase, they they won't make as much money. So for them to still make a PROFIT, they must raise prices and the consumers must pay more. Your ignorance is astounding...
I don't need your lame ass economics lessons. Coal-fired power plants pay next to nothing for coal and make bank easily. You're assuming their profit margins are small. Wrong.
@jpmorgan187 You need some lessons from someone obviously because you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not assuming anything either, it's common sense. It's not about small profit margins, but the basic desire for profit. Do you think that all energy companies are greedy or something?
Fox news better be careful, If they start to jump on the oil spill bandwagon the Dems will expose them self and Republicans that are in BP and other oil companies pockets. From what i understand there are only a handful of current republicans NOT in the pockets of the oil industry. Even worse for Republicans is that most have voted to deregulate the oil companies in the U.S, if that get's out... Bye bye Retardlicans ! I know they are going to use this to attack Obama but it will backfire.
@nek0s They're all having a nice laugh as people like you remain brainwashed by the left-right paradigm. Here's a hint, friend. They're all scum. The entire establishment is corrupt. It doesn't matter which party is in control. Until the majority of Americans realize this, it's hopeless.
@makersmarkrebel People like me, intelligent people? Anyway, Obama actually wants to get lobbyists out of Washington and work on making campaign donations public, So we know what company is running America. It was actually part of his campaign...
@makersmarkrebel As for being brain washed... Deregulation replaced a system of bureaucratic incompetence with one of profit-seeking negligence. Deregulation of the energy sector, notably the natural gas and oil industries under Ronald Reagan, and the electric utilities under George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Left to its own devices, a deregulated energy industry has given us Exxon, BP, more oil spills and $100 barrels of oil... like i said, this is not a fight Republicans want to get into.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
My God Shep Smith you are just a communist as Laura Bush and her want for gay marriage. No wonder President Bush sucked! We need to get a conservative to host Fox Report. Someone who wants more drilling. Steve Malzberg would be a fab choice. Fire Shep Smith hire Steve Malzberg. SHEP IS A FOX COMMUNIST REPORTER.
A note to Shep-still-in-the-closet Smith: I still haven't forgotten the panty-wetting over-the-top hyperventilating reporting that you and and your libtard sidekick Geraldo engaged in during Katrina. Your reports of countless dead bodies on the streets, the nightmare in the Superdome, the environmental impact, the follow-up disease outbreak, the rape and pillage in the streets, and the record number of hurricanes to come- NEVER HAPPENED. You were full of shit then- and you're full of shit now.
I guarantee you that this is NOT the grand catastrophic mega-disaster that the media is hyping up. Oh by the way, shouldn't we all be dead by now from the West Nile virus? the swine flu virus? Y2K? out-of-control Toyotas? Mad Cow disease? nuclear waste? and global warming?
Yeah. That's what I thought.
Now shut the fuck up, pop a Midol, slap a rag on it, and go have a good cry on your boyfriend's lap you overpaid mascara-wearing little prima donna media-twerp.
@66shortpants good comments on Shep's insipid whine. He is such a cry-baby.
"At least act like you care," he says in concluding his hissy fit. That is largely what liberalism is about, anyway, "acting" like one cares about .... global warming, saving the whales, Haiti, etc. -- and then using that faux "concern" as an excuse to regulate our lives down to whether or not we drive with a seatbelt on or not. "Click it or ticket" - the sweet voice of tyranny.
I am glad they gave you time to show what a empty head jerk you are.
I always knew you were such a complete left wing idiot because you always slanted the news to the left. Mr. ORielly always said that he didnt know where you stood politically. I assume it is because he didnt want to admit that they had such a radical left wing lying goon on the network that normally tries to be fair and balance.
Well they have managed to tie halliburton to all of this so now that they are involved they can just state its all the bush/cheney's fault again which has seemed to be the left's mantra the past decade even though they helped create the housing collapse by loosening lending rules in the late 90s to curb the dot-com bust.
The Other WA: It really is easy to see why MSNBC and CNN would hire people who lean to the right. They have the potential to attract viewers and consequently, revenue. Fox would not put a liberal in prime time because liberals are the minority of this country and repel viewers instead of attract them. Just consider liberal talk radio vs. conservative talk radio.
If it were profitable for Fox, they would put a liberal socialist progressive in a prominent spot. It couldn't possibly be profitable.
What a crying shame (for some, anyway) that Bush can't be blamed for the slow ramp up of cleanup efforts. Oh wait: Øbama did manage to spread the responsibility and keep any off himself.
Well, at least we know that the ChiComs, the Venezuelans, the Cuban etc., will all employ only the best techniques to prevent this from ever happening again.
Shep is right, of course, but he's on the network that is the propaganda tool of the anti-environmentalist, anti-regulation, pro-corporate-profits-at-any-cost-to-the-little-people crowd. The destroyed Gulf is just one example of the price we all play for the greedy, short-sighted mindset spouted 24/7 (with tiny, rare exceptions such as this) at Fox "News."
So is this Tony Hayward guy wrong about the leak being relatively small compared to the water there? Shep didn't say.
Nor did Shep ever comment on the fact that drilling happens everywhere and spills don't seem to happen very often. Indeed, this is the "biggest" spill ever, according to all accounts. Shep ought to consider where other countries get their oil from.
"who does MSNBC/CNN have on from the 'other' side?" Let's see, MSNBC gives 3 hours a day to the conservative former republic member of congress, Joe Scarborough. CNN recently hired Erick Erickson from RedState. What liberals are ever given time, or their own show, on Fox? No one. And Smith's slam of BP is totally appropriate.
TheOtherWA@ Bob Beckle, Juan Williams, Alan Colmes, Kirsten Powers, and Geraldine Ferraro; to name the consistent "no ones". I don't know if you've noticed, but debates on Fox routinely have a republican and a democrat squaring off, so besides the ones I've named, there are numerous democrats that are "given time". I'm guessing you just don't watch Fox but criticize it anyway, Mr. Holder...
@PimpOutMyPelican What liberal gets 3 hours a day, 5 days a week on Fox? No one. And only weak, quiet liberals or conservative dems are allowed to appear for a few minutes while the hosts yell over them. Fox controls the message, always.
@TheOtherWA I don't know of anyone that gets 3 hours a day on Fox, period. And those guys aren't weak, they're respectful. Some, such as Bob, can be pushy to the point of being annoying, but most are just respectful. Conservative Dems? Maybe. Juan would be a pretty good example of that I think. And there's no message to control my friend. It's just simply reporting. It's surprising how easy it is to just report.
@kittiepeacock But they couldn't come close to paying him what Fox does. Shep may lean to the left - but he's not stupid. He's got a great time slot and great money at Fox. He's not going anywhere.
"At least act like you care" thats the Liberal ways and means. Shep always struck me as a candy ass wuss boy. Its funny how fox gets pilloried for being "right wing" yet has a puke like this spouting off, even O'Reilly can succumb to the pressure of being centered. Why I wouldn't watch fox either. I dont watch any network or cable crap its all watered down for public consumption.
@Flippengrooven1 True what you say about cable, but it's also true that FOX is conservative.
Shep usually does straight news. Brett Baire's news selection seems to be a little bit right. But once you get into prime time, it's obvious where FOX leans. O'Reilly the traditionalist has an open-mind and sometimes goes to the left/middle on economic issues.
Shepard points his judgmental finger at many, many people. All the while he has 3 fingers pointing back at himself. I will personally never forget the way he berated Bush during Katrina, who was on television warning everyone of the coming hurricane FIVE DAYS BEFORE IT HIT! Shepard's hate speech against conservative Christians tells me more about Shepard's heart and mind than anything else. I quit watching him years ago. Life is too short to watch a hater like Shep.
@kmikee It was 2 days AFTER the hurricane hit, dumbass, that the levees broke! Mayor Negan could have used all those school buses to take his citizens out of harms way, dumbass, but he didn't. He was too busy smoking crack and getting drunk. People like you just love to spread your hatespeech. Pretty sad.
@theslowrider Put whatever spin on it you like. The fact remains that the chimp did nothing! Disasters like this are what FEMA is for. Cities and states lack the resources to respond to events like this. Fema was AWOL on Katrina, just as the chimp was during the Vietnam war, which he was a big supporter of, as long as someone else was doing the fighting. (Like me for instance).
You right wing knuckleheads really crack me up. Completely fucking delusional!
@kgb99a It took him 10 days to notice? Who told you that crap? Probably the snowbilly from Wasilla. How's that "drill baby drill" crap working out for 'ya, bitch?
@kgb99a He made no statement till the 30th of April, but that does not mean he was unaware of it. It took four days for anyone to determine the thing was actually leaking. However, if you are suggesting that he send in the government to take charge, then I'll have to agree with you. Imagine that!
@kmikee So that's 10 days for the new chimp to make a statement. Very comforting. The old chimp got crucified by left-tards for taking a day or two to respond to Katrina. Now all you can do is make excuses for the new chimp when a potentially bigger disaster occurs. If we sent the government in to 'take charge' this leak might not be stopped for a year. What does the government know about stopping oil leaks a mile down? (Gee, let's get a committee together and discuss it for a few months.)
@kgb99a No, the "old chimp" never responded to Katrina at all, ever. There's lots that could have been done right away, since that disaster wasn't one mile below the gulf. Alas, nothing was done at all. Well, there were some photo ops and pigs shooting citizens. that's about it.
You seem to want it both ways. You wanted Obama to respond earlier, yet on the other hand, you don't want the evil government to do anything. do you see the problem in your argument?
@kmikee So you're saying there was no government response "at all, ever" to Katrina? You are either a liar or completely ignorant. Even the new chimp could possible (with a little help) surf the internet and prove you wrong. I don't want it both ways, I just realize the limits of government expertise as should you. I want the new chimp to pay attention and adopt what makes sense to solve the oil spill problem. He should be supporting BP to help solve the problem instead of grilling them.
THANKS FOR THAT BLUNT STATEMENT SHEP SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You idiots who use the term "Faux News" crack me up. You don't even watch the news. You get your information from this very website all the while parroting the same tired comments that require no thought of your own. And most of the comments below are made by morons who are not in the energy sector and have no clue about its inner workings. To act as if you're appalled by this incident is a joke. Guess where your Prius battery is going when it's used up. That's right, the bottom of the Gulf.

This is just the same old focused pandering. If it had been Exxon, there would be no commentary. Instead it's a brit. And usually FOX is the first to point out how litigious Americans can be, and here they act offended. Has this guy released a similar commentary on Transocean? How about Halliburton? Shepard Smith is an actor reading his lines. Poorly. Yes, BP is shit. They're all shit. Don't make the mistake of thinking this guy isn't just a hatchet-man.

So for them to still make a PROFIT, they must raise prices and the consumers must pay more. Your ignorance is astounding...

@makersmarkrebel As for being brain washed... Deregulation replaced a system of bureaucratic incompetence with one of profit-seeking negligence. Deregulation of the energy sector, notably the natural gas and oil industries under Ronald Reagan, and the electric utilities under George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Left to its own devices, a deregulated energy industry has given us Exxon, BP, more oil spills and $100 barrels of oil... like i said, this is not a fight Republicans want to get into.

"At least act like you care," he says in concluding his hissy fit. That is largely what liberalism is about, anyway, "acting" like one cares about .... global warming, saving the whales, Haiti, etc. -- and then using that faux "concern" as an excuse to regulate our lives down to whether or not we drive with a seatbelt on or not. "Click it or ticket" - the sweet voice of tyranny.

The Other WA: It really is easy to see why MSNBC and CNN would hire people who lean to the right. They have the potential to attract viewers and consequently, revenue. Fox would not put a liberal in prime time because liberals are the minority of this country and repel viewers instead of attract them. Just consider liberal talk radio vs. conservative talk radio.
If it were profitable for Fox, they would put a liberal socialist progressive in a prominent spot. It couldn't possibly be profitable.

What a crying shame (for some, anyway) that Bush can't be blamed for the slow ramp up of cleanup efforts. Oh wait: Øbama did manage to spread the responsibility and keep any off himself.

Shep is right, of course, but he's on the network that is the propaganda tool of the anti-environmentalist, anti-regulation, pro-corporate-profits-at-any-cost-to-the-little-people crowd.

Nor did Shep ever comment on the fact that drilling happens everywhere and spills don't seem to happen very often. Indeed, this is the "biggest" spill ever, according to all accounts. Shep ought to consider where other countries get their oil from.

"who does MSNBC/CNN have on from the 'other' side?" Let's see, MSNBC gives 3 hours a day to the conservative former republic member of congress, Joe Scarborough. CNN recently hired Erick Erickson from RedState. What liberals are ever given time, or their own show, on Fox? No one. And Smith's slam of BP is totally appropriate.

@TheOtherWA I don't know of anyone that gets 3 hours a day on Fox, period. And those guys aren't weak, they're respectful.

kgb99a 1 year ago
@kgb99a He made no statement till the 30th of April, but that does not mean he was unaware of it. It took four days for anyone to determine the thing was actually leaking. However, if you are suggesting that he send in the government to take charge, then I'll have to agree with you. Imagine that!
kmikee 1 year ago
@kmikee So that's 10 days for the new chimp to make a statement. Very comforting. The old chimp got crucified by left-tards for taking a day or two to respond to Katrina. Now all you can do is make excuses for the new chimp when a potentially bigger disaster occurs. If we sent the government in to 'take charge' this leak might not be stopped for a year. What does the government know about stopping oil leaks a mile down? (Gee, let's get a committee together and discuss it for a few months.)
kgb99a 1 year ago
@kgb99a No, the "old chimp" never responded to Katrina at all, ever. There's lots that could have been done right away, since that disaster wasn't one mile below the gulf. Alas, nothing was done at all. Well, there were some photo ops and pigs shooting citizens. that's about it.
You seem to want it both ways. You wanted Obama to respond earlier, yet on the other hand, you don't want the evil government to do anything. do you see the problem in your argument?
I doubt it.
kmikee 1 year ago
@kmikee So you're saying there was no government response "at all, ever" to Katrina? You are either a liar or completely ignorant. Even the new chimp could possible (with a little help) surf the internet and prove you wrong. I don't want it both ways, I just realize the limits of government expertise as should you. I want the new chimp to pay attention and adopt what makes sense to solve the oil spill problem. He should be supporting BP to help solve the problem instead of grilling them.
