  • Roger and Rupert must have shit bricks over this one! You go Shep!

  • Shep Smith is a great anchor, too bad hes working for the wrong network.

  • I DON'T UNDERSTAND???? Its making sense,,its Fox???

    Its a TRick,,,,I know it :)

  • @CaptOobviousism Me thinks the 'retard' was being sarcastic when he spelt Fox 'FAUX' Most people could tell that,since it was obvious. Don't you love it when Fox viewers liveup to their reputations everyone?

  • This is why I love Shep Smith =]

  • As I've cried out loud before, what the hell kind of fucked up photos does Shep Smith have of Rupert Murdoch?

  • @PurushaDesa Are you talking about the ones with him and Brooke or the ones with his daughter?

  • REAL JOURNALISM ! FOX NEWS ! DOES NOT COMPUTE !

  • Poor senator, he thought he was on Fox.

  • Shepard Smith is the ONLY non-douchebag at Faux.

    Let's face it, Hannity is retarded, O' Reilly is plain UNFAIR and Beck is UNBALANCED!

  • @guy2008rules before u trash oreilly and and beck and make yourself look like a retard, go learn how to spell fox, why dontcha

  • @CaptObviousism psst, he mispelled it on purpose. I know right wingers don't understand comedy.

  • Shepherd is unafraid!

  • he is definitely conservative he has had some moderateness but ultimately he is a conservative.

  • @TopSideUp Yeah, he just isn't a neo-con or a bigot like most of the other fox pundits/reporters.

  • WOW with Shep on Fox news I might have to change my mind about fair and balanced. Thanks Shep for keeping it real!

  • Nice, attacking the enemy from the inside.

  • Finally, some reason.

  • thank god for shep smith......The only chance the fox news audience will ever get at getting fair news.

  • I had to triple check the logo in the bottom left corner. I watched about 4 rotations of it before I accepted that it did indeed say "Fox News". And even now, I'm not sure. It seems way too rational to be from Fox....

  • Australia does not have a public option does it? then again they do have a single payer system

  • We <3 Sheppy!

  • HE HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER 13YEARS AND IS THE SECOND HIGHEST PAID GUY THERE. SO SHUT UP, TURK.

  • @sciomni2008.............

    he's not attacking smith...

    he's praising him...

  • Shepherd, lead us to reason.

    The only freedom Republicans stand for is the freedom of corporations and the Republican Elite to do whatever they want to turn a profit. They don't care about working class Americans. They'll say "pro-life" "pro-guns" "anti-gay" if it'll get my vote, then spend my tax dollars on big business subsidies while passing legislation to enable those same corporations to cheat and steal more money from the consumer. The Republican Elite must be overthrown.

  • this is a ruse. Fox news let's him say the reasonable stuff so that when people call themselves out on their bias and bullshit, they can say "What are you talking about, we have some anchors who defend liberal positions!" and then they'll point to Shep.

  • Gosh...I bet you that the people who actually regularly watch Fox News probably hate Shep Smith because he's right.

  • Shep Smith is the level headed man on FOX News, he is the only news caster I enjoy listening too

  • @1957welder Which is why I worry that they might fire him.

  • @1957welder

    he's the reason why Fox news is even consider "fair and balaance"

  • You're killin' me!

  • @ThaATrain10

    You have to type it in a way that we know you aren't serious.

  • I Love Shep! He is the only "Fair and Balanced" guy in the whole building. Last week on Fox and Friends when Douchey and that blonde bimbo were trying to say that O'Rielly gave Palin difficult questions on his interview you could see him rolling his eyes and was looking at her like WTF?

  • barraso is almost the second coming of sarah palin. how can he overlook the obvious like that.

  • @jusprazem he's worse than her, he's a closed minded Doctor. Dude has been practicing for 15 years and has forgot his roots.

  • Shep is AWESOME.

  • @jbarks10

    if they keep shep then fox would be fair and balanced....oh wait a minute dont they CLAIM they are fair and balanced so they best not get rid of shep.

  • What people don't stop to think about is the fact that Shep tries to keep a iota of integrity while keeping Ideology out of his journalistic reporting. He is a reporter, not a commentator unlike the rest of FOX NEWS programming which seems to be right wing driven. It's funny when conservatives get all worked up over Shep because it proves that they want their news to be fixed and propagandized to suit the right. More reporting should be this way and not party guided.

  • the first ever rational thing i have heard on FOX News... period.

  • @koreythehill you should watch fox news more often. they not a bias as people say they are

  • @EdwardPack1988 Their primetime is.

  • @EdwardPack1988 I do and yes the hell they are. They cant go 5 minutes without suggesting some cock-eyed manipulative shit and that is not fair.

  • @splicedenergy Cnn is the same way.

  • This Senator is in love with corporatized medicine. A typical repub party elitist.

  • Comment removed

  • Go Shep!

  • @POOPPEPPER so you think that only "yankees" hate FOX (by the way, it is not fox)?There are a lot of people of other nationalities that despise FOX, which has become the boom-box of the far right lunatics. And if FOX is "God" (who only exists in your imagination by the way), then it only serves to prove my point that "God" is a fascist dictator who wants to destroy anyone that does not agree with him.

  • Your argument was stated so well that I might as well not try to respond. I'll give it a shot anyway.

    Fox is God and Jesus put together, huh? Alot of people must be commiting blasphemy toward Fox with every poor comment in that case.

    Okay... I've officially lost where I was going with that. Were you drunk when you wrote what you did? You sound fucking insane. At least I didn't attack Fox News. :)

  • This guy works for Roger "the hut" Ailes? I am shocked! He called out a Republitard on FNS? Hope CNN is standing by with a fat contract for him. Amazing....

  • @azxff1 FOX is only keeping Smith for strategic purposes only, they obviously hate him for being moderate or even liberal. Anyways, the main reason that FOX hasn't dismissed him is that he is too important to simply blow away, if FOX did fire him, then there will be a lot of uncomfortable questions asked of FOX. Secondly, whenever people accuse (rightfully so) FOX of being conservative, asshole Ailes can pull Smith in and say "hey look, we have a moderate/liberal, what are you talking about?"

  • joking right?

  • i wonder who got fired for letting that clip fly on fox

  • I like it because he's pretty much cornered fox execs. They can't replace him with O'Riley because he's their big draw in prime time. They can't replace him with Glenn Beck, because then they'd have to drop the advertisers to acknowledge the boycott. They really don't have any guns in store to replace him, so unless they want one of their fox blonds delivering national news they're kind of stuck. Another possibility is that Shep is dying to write a book about Katrina. They can't let him go.

  • Considering the fact the average Fox viewer is so old, they must realise they need to get a new base before the old one dies off.

  • sheps the only reasonable one on that network. still even with him there, it makes it hardly "fair and balanced" no matter how many times you say it.

    i don't think you're right about them taking his time slot. think about it, 5 o'clock for Fox is like 8-11pm on any other network. their average viewers are like 60-up...they go to bed around 7pm... if anything, glenn beck will take the 5 am slot!

  • Fox has been backing down latley because of the accusations of slanted reporting. They are a bunch of liars.

  • Fuck 60 votes. Call a reconciliation vote.

  • fucking smackdown

  • Holy crap I can't believe that was aired on Fox News.

  • how long d'ya reckon he'll last?? lol

  • why does smith even bother to stay over at FOX?

  • go shep put them in thier place

  • oh sh** oh sh**

  • Wow. Smith made what is quite possibly the most compelling argument for the public option that I've heard in a while. That segment is bulletproof.

  • I'd rather see Fox News convert into a porn channel.

  • Fox will soon get rid of sheppard smith just like alan colmes

    xD

    like hell if they are gonna allow journalism rear it's head on their fake 'fair and balanced' opinion station

  • I know. Sheppard is the man.

  • Faux NRA-NASCAR Rednecks don't watch Shep.

    He is slotted time for the house wife and college students.

  • When's Shep gonna get fired for being so rational?

  • Will Shep get a time out for a week like Beck ?

    Beck called out Obama as a racist and was told not to come to work for a week he says.

  • Who knows. I don't exactly keep up with Fox News; hell, I'm not even from the country.

  • The majority of support in government for a "public option" is coming from democrats, so I don`t see how both parties are equally "dirty", especially when you consider the lockstep mentality of every republican Senator in opposition to a "public option" or just about anything else the democrats propose. What are those who blame both parties equally gonna do, vote republican because a few democrats oppose a "public option" that makes up a majority when added with every opposed republican Senator?

  • I hope CNN or MSNBC hires him once Fox realizes he is fair and balanced.

  • Heheh I would rather him be in Fox, though. At least it would be a LITTLE fair and balanced.

  • Faux added "Accurate" last year.

    "Fair, Balanced & Accurate" after Frank Luntz pollster caught on YT bused in same "random" pollsters over & over to tank Ron Paul.

  • |:-| am i not merciful??

  • corporations run america unfortunatly

  • Lucis Trust & Fed Reserve & Exxon & MonoSatan

    They happen to all worship another God, pretty depressing to learn we are slaves to satanic global cabal

  • How long until Faux News fires Shep Smith?

    Can't be long now.

  • Thank you Shepard Smith! Nice to see some truth!!!

  • The voice of reason on Fox News

  • Shep nailed that mofo! totally made him his bitch and all he did was use facts. something you never, see on fox, the truth. the US health system is so screwd up, if the dems dont do something about it you guys need 2 scrap both partys and start over. the sad thing is you know they probably wont cos theyre the same as repubilcans, theyre pawns for the insurance companies. the way the us government treats its citizens, in this regard, is utterly disgraceful. Shep needs 2 go bitch slap all of them

  • This shmuck was thinking, not without reason, that he was going to get to go on Fox, make his talking points, and get on with his day. Needless to say, his day didn't go as planned.

  • Wow, look. A Fox News Anchor made reasonable points for once in their history.

  • Shep must have some shit on the Fix execs. There is no way he would be allowed to say this otherwise.

  • That's the only reason I can see him still having a job.

  • The GOP are not conservatives, I am conservative. Being a lying nutjob isnt being conservative.

  • People need some reminding sometimes.

  • Shep must be worried about his long term journo-cred. He's young and knows he will have to have some integrity if he wants ot work at other networks in future.

    Good for him. He can now be proclaimed Fox's official 'moderate' and token 'journalist-anchor'.

    You're right Cenk about Shep's status at Fox. You are merciful indeed :)

  • Wow, FOX "news" has hired a decent human being... Well done... but I cant help but think that he is going to get the can soon. Shame.

  • Senator, your a liar and piece of shit, how about that.

  • Shep - a voice of reason within the insanity that is known as FOX.

  • Maybe that's a revolutions some republicans would like.

    I support. xD

  • Go Shep ! Fox will fire Shep soon :(

  • Yeah, that will be a shame. :(

  • Comment removed

  • net profits might have gone up, but what about the profit margin (profit relative to revenue). if the government is running a pseudo insurance company, they are taking it over because they set the standard. they're setting rules that say you can't not offer coverage to people with existing conditions and so forth ... that is a government take over. Just because they don't manage the system doesn't mean they control it if they set all the rules.

  • So when the government broke up Ma Bell, that was a government takeover? Making phones affordable for people makes it a government takeover?

  • I'm pretty sure it's openly known Shep and Matt Wallace are not conservatives.

  • Smith laughed out loud at Beck's fake crying in his 9/12 speech. When I saw that, I wondered what he was doing on Fox.

  • Shep is a ham. Watch him daily and you will see. He can be really is a funny guy sometimes. Like whenever the H1N1 virus screen comes up. The way he says it cracks me up. Can't be translated into text.

    When he is reporting something he things is BS he lets you know . Not directly but he starts hamming it up.

  • Shep Smith is my new hero.

  • I was going to say somethling meaningful, but instead i will just say to tehant1liberal to call you an idiot would be an insult to idiots.

  • wow, you are the one who is ill informed and have been fucked around by the republicans for too long. Either that or you are one of those bitchy republicans trying to brainwash the good people in America with your bullshit.

  • @tehant1liberal

    and its sad that so many people think its true! please tell me that was a joke and u dont believe.... because i am laughing sooo hard! its killing me!

  • I guess Murdock wants to balance with Glenn Beck.

  • I can't believe Rupert Murdock would let that on the air.

    I Hope Shep Smith doesn't get fired after that.

  • I honestly don't think Murdock cares if it draws a rating.

  • That was a good journalistic interview! These sold-out jerks need to be put on notice that all the world is not a forum for them to posture while they take bribes to protect corporate health insurance from reform. They are used to getting it easy with the media. When I see a journalist do their job instead of reading press releases from the PR dept. of these companies, I feel encouraged that we CAN get our country back!

  • Shepis the only reasonable person at fox news. By the way i use the term "person at fox news" loosely.

  • You can tell this Senator (who of course HAS to be identified as a 'doctor') wasn't expecting this from somebody at Fox. He just stands there with those 'deer in the headline' eyes. LOL! He has to fall back on the usual talking points.

    I think we may see Smith going to CNN or MSNBC, just as we saw Beck booted from his old show on CNN Headline News (now HLN).

  • Wow! Shep does it again!

  • What is it with Cenk and Gladiator?

  • half naked, sweaty white men?

  • this isnt fox, no way

  • When Shep clearly laid out why the Public Option is necessary, I love how the Senator talks about how he doesn't think the Public Option is the best way to go, but he really doesn't provide a real solution. If the republicans can't do anything about the healtcare problem, then why not try the only LEGITIMATE alternative? Oh yea, because they want Obama and the democrats to fail! If the public option was passed and worked, I think mainstream America will finally leave the GOP for good.

  • This Shep Smith should have the respect of all moderates and intelligent people in this country (people who care about real news). If he gets kicked off of Fox (which will happen), every other reasonable network should hire him immediately. This guy is too gutsy to pass up.

  • Maybe TYT should hire him?

  • Lol. I don't think Shep.Smith will wanna go from a multi million dollar contract to probably a 50-100k contract.

  • Shep is the only reason I might be inclined to watch Fox. Other than the possibility of watching Glenn Beck emotionally rape himself on live TV.

  • I'm confused. This is Fox News?!

  • That's what I was thinking. Shep Smith may not have much longer to go at Fox News. On the plus side, he should find an easy gig elsewhere.

  • HAhA yeah, it is. they guys at FOX arent just bad guys, they're DUUUUMB bad guys...go figure...

  • democrats should go for a compromise vote.

    All they need is 50 votes and that of the vice president

  • Who wants to bet me that Lou Dobbs or John Stossel replaces Shep Smith in his time slot by this time next year.

  • I think that could happen soon

  • I would bet but I know I lose.

    I think that the higher up at Fix News are saying Shep Smith is out of line and they will send some one to look after him.

    I have to say I start to like this guy.

  • Dude aint gonna last too long on Fox political activist network talking like that.

    Shep's going against the Murdoch mission statement of "undermine the Obama presidency by any means necessary."

  • wow! that was fucking coool !!!!

  • I'm in a state of shock. Shep talking sense?! I stopped taking Fox News seriously a long time ago, but I will now give Shep (even he says lots of illogical-conservative things for the next week) a bit more of my attention in view of his logical debate with this Senator.

  • The guy who hosts this show sounds exactly like Scot Rubin when he laughs at the guy.

  • go shep.

  • Who are the other two you like at fox news?

  • I think when FOX means "fair and balanced", they mean " All our crazy right wing instigators......and Shep Smith."

  • Next thing you know Shep is going to be supporting gay marriage.

  • WTFuckery!?!

    A reasonable and logical host on Fox News!?!

  • Same here. I was like : "did I just hear reason and logic come out of Faux News ?!"

    XD

  • I wonder how much money Shep sacrifices for the ability to look in the mirror, I mean he could be making Limbaugh dollars if he pulled a "full conservative" act.

  • He probably looks in the mirror inthe morning and says to himself, "Meh, I make six figures a year to be on FOX. There are worse ways to make a living."

  • Shep smith, one of the only sane mind in Fox News. He is a real representant of what the right wing should be.

  • well, that wouldn't really be right "wing", but you're correct... he's a good journalist, and an informed pundit. Unfortunately, he isn't high on the tree with Glenn and BillO

  • Shep.

    Not my favorite Stooge, but a decent guy from the sounds of it.

  • Good for Shep!

  • Ha! I knew it! The rats are leaving the ship! Watch all the conservatards walking back their support of all these extremist views.

  • Gotta love Shep Smith, people who watch Fox it's their only dose of reality.

    So he'll prolly be canceled soon.

  • wow, i only knew he was the guy that made the blooper saying sth about j-lo's blowjob, nice work now Shep, keep fucking that chicken! =D

  • tiesto is garbage

  • Long live Shep Smith...does he have a fan club?

  • Yes. Yes he does. Population: you & me.

  • we can always start a facebook group...

  • Make it so number 1.

  • "When Shep Smith brings the REAL TALK!!!"

    is already on facebook...

  • LOL, great Picard reference.

  • Jean Luc is da man.

  • # Fuck 'em up Shep fuck 'em up #

    One voice of reason on Fox news is worth a dozen on an actual news station.

  • Here's a Washington insider saying that Washington programs are run by incompetents. By inference, he's saying he's incompetent.

    Time to leave Washington, Senator!

  • Yup. These days people working for the government can blame everything on government incompetence without feeling the least bit stupid.

  • Ironic, isn't it?

  • wow this guy is surprisingly good

  • I would guess that "health care" will continue to be extremely classist and unfair. Rich people will hang out and convince one another that they are "more fit to live" than working people. It's sicker than hell, but it's human nature to compete and distroy while thrashing around in their ubiquitious everpresent dishonest nature.

  • Go get them, Shep!!!

  • Ya! Go and get them!

  • Work related insurance is a huge problem, because any criminal who is on the side of management, can deprive you not only of insurance, but your life, and your family's life. This has happened to me more than once. This is actually "grounds" for heavy duty violence in the work place.  Health insurance associate with the work place is about as sick as you can get. It means that any fucking jerk who has an "in" can destroy your life and everything you ever worked for. We see the results now.

  • I think the 60% of people supporting a public option that is the key here. You can't fool all of the people all of the time. People know their bottom line regardless of what Republican shills say.

  • I sure hope so...

  • go shep

  • The Government always helps the wealthy-dishonest no matter how corrupt and murderous they are. This seems to be a huge problem since health insurance is so overwhelmingly greedy. I got hurt on the job very badly. The chances of getting life saving surgery paid for by Liberty Mutual as the WC carrier.... virtually nil. Why would i not want to torpedo them as they torpedoed me. Our country is really degenerate and sick hierarchically and is where dishonest pays the really big bucks.

  • I've worked dangerous jobs. This means if you make a certain misstep, you will die.

    You would think they would try to keep it safe. The fact of the matter is leaders and bosses tend to like to see some people die. Then they can ring their hand, wave their arms, and pretend to be sad. It's the ugliest side of human nature. If you have better status, then you can send people who might challenge you through their work to their death. That happened to me several time. The Gov helped them.

  • It appears to me that republicans are all about "culling the poor". Those guys that accused as sentenced Jesus would have to be Republican in nature. From the Religious idiot leaders down to the Roman soldier executioners. It's the Repbulican mind set: Follow orders, stay in line, kill outsiders. They ought to call it the super biased party. "Republican" party does not actually describe any aspect of its evil, selfish, diablolical group beliefs and tactics.

  • shep smith is a strange cat. i cant figure him out. i think seeing those people in new orleans got to him in a big way. he found his soul again, not an easy task.

  • Shep Smith!!!!!!! WoW, somebody give this guy Glen Beck's show lol.... yeah Shep has to be the best guy on Fox!!!

  • Unhappily, status people don't add a great deal of value and pay for little or nothing. Pretending to lay down the law while victimizing workers is not a valuable job or honest in any way. A suit merely means that you are either initiatiated into the crimial ways of status or wishing to be. People who feel they are so much better by being dishonest with group support are the worst. Seems like money only makes people credible in terms of money, and that's all relative to a game of greed.

  • The problem is not in the system of medical care but the way the money is being managed. Insurance execs get their positions by pretending not to be "consummate fucking creeps" while at the same time giving historically unprecedented new meaning to the term "complete FC". It's all about the management of, by, and for Holy god favored greed. "Bread winner" is a horrible misnomer for cut throats.
