    Shep Smith -- the Seabiscuit of Fox News. Accent on the biscuit. #shepardsmith

    Is there some kind of bot trained on Gawker for when Fox is criticized? This is a very strange comment...array. #foxnews

    To be fair, Shep's coverage of high speed car chases is pretty much the best thing ever. #shepardsmith

    If that was the whole of my tool kit, I'd never get anything fixed, but I'm too busy getting excited about car chases anyway. #shepardsmith

    I don't know about his "pipes" or "tool", but I do tend to tune into his afternoon show more often, primarily because the other two networks are pretty much unwatchable for any length of time at that hour.

    Though, if I'm paying attention, I flip back and forth.

    I don't think Smith is a leftie. I think he's a paleo-conservative who believes in integrity. #foxnews

    Maybe he was referring to the softball aspect of the interview? Fox News is notorious for letting the party masters use its airways as a free political commercial venue, which if nothing else violates journalistic ethics. #foxnews

    In other news, today's NYT reports, "CNN Drops to Last Place Among Cable News Networks". #foxnews

    @ihatetwitter: That doesn't surprise me. There is nothing more mealy mouthed than the "Fox News with a Friendly Face" positioning CNN has been trying out for the last few years. Liberals are no longer amused and conservatives are too stupid to see that, with the possible exception of Rick Sanchez and the old cranky guy, it's a lot of unchallenged conservative blather--contrary to what they've been programmed to believe by the conservative hive mind. And since the last thing cable news offers is news, people who watch choose to watch the 24-hour opinion channel that most aligns with their own beliefs.

    Fox finally learned that employing only pitiful, zombie lefties isn't the way to go, and that everyone has a TV set, not just red-staters. So, they let Shep and his Q rating be the supposed opposition leader instead of Alan "Skeletor" Colmes.

    Trouble is, thanks to their audience getting twice as loony over having a black prez, they are getting too cocky/reckless, and providing him with too much ammo on a daily basis. It could also be that he's getting fed up and will be taking an hour from Wolf Blitzer on CNN sometime soon...his neighbor Anderson Cooper might think that's just fab...

    Shep Smith is a closet lefty..I found that out by watching his performances during Hurricane Katrina...he was just outraged that people were left on the overpasses (that is,.. by Bush) as if ANYONE could have known the extent of damage personally(that is, Bush) and tried to keep help from getting to the needy?? That Mississippi boy, I turn him off every time he is on the air...he is an arrogant twit in my book and has pushed the envelope one too many times on FOX and needs to be whittled down to size. CNN take him, he's yours.

    In reply to Shep Smith Apologizes for Fox News' 'Lack of Balance'
    I'm pretty sure Shep's "moments of responsibility and balance" are just strategic and encouraged by the network. The stunts get Shep interviews full of sloppy kisses by publications like Esquire and the New York Times where they go in about how independent and wonderful he is and he goes on about how FOX is totally balanced except for a few shows that are plainly opinion. FOX people never get invited for profile interviews normally by the regular media, let alone the sort of fawning Shep has been getting.

    And FOX needs someone to point to as a at least vaguely lefty or fair sort of presence now that Colmes is gone. #foxnews

    @mostlymartian: Colmes being gone is a good thing, he was basically the Washington Generals.
