Shephard Smith (of Fox News) attacks Joe the Plumber

[Farnan]

Shephard Smith was one of the only Fox News guys I like...

[Big War Bird]

You shouldn't post things that upset basic assumptions that Fox News is a right wing hate machine. Seriously, some people may need counseling after seeing this.

SHAME ON YOU!

Edit, I like Shepard Smith too, the man is sooo smooth.

He was? Hes now the only one who might have some balls...

[Farnan]

I should have said is not was...

Smith has always been a bright light at Fox, his coverage during Katrina was imo top notch. Right wing or not when Smith says something you can atleast be sure he actually believes it and is not parroting something.

He's probably on Roger Ailes' hit list now for showing some personal integrity.

Nah he has done it in the past as well and he pulls great ratings and hence his recent huge contract renewal.

Great video Farnan. Joe said it himself, he dont know about politics but a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of isreal. No harm comes from talking to leaders of foreign countries. Last time I checked throughout history leaders have met with their counterparts. This macho that the GOP is throwing around that talking is cowardly and only force can solve our problems is pathetic. Its a talking point to get votes.

Why are you bringing the GOP into? This is 'Joe the Plumber' speaking here and Smith even questions him about despite his support for Mccain that he doesnt agree with any claims that Obama = death for Israel.

Yep. I listen to him daily, even though I don't like FOX, he is the only one there who is actually worthy to listen to.

People I really can't take seriously (biased, left or right)

-Hannity (and Colmes)
-Geraldo
-Chris Matthews
-Rachel Maddow
-Bill O'Reilly

Hosts who try to stay neutral and I take more seriously

-Lou Dobbs (cnn)
-Shephard Smith (Fox)
-Wolf Blitzer (cnn)
-Anderson Cooper (cnn)
-Larry King (cnn)
-Joe Scarborough (msnbc)


Keith Olbermann- Is a comedian.

I've never understood why the McCain campaign has latched onto this idiot. All he did was ask a question that basically confirmed Obama's tax plan would BENEFIT him and somehow McCain wants to make him a rallying point? Its clear he doesn't have a damn clue what he's talking about either. Does the McCain campaign want to fail?

-Lou Dobbs (cnn)
-Wolf Blitzer (cnn)

Wolf is blatantly pro Obama and Lou Dobbs is just annoying (he comes off as incredibly self righteous). I agree with the rest through. One reporter I can't stand is Campbell Brown, the that filled in for Dobbs on occasion then got her own shown. I've read some online articles of hers and frankly her claim of no bias no bull is obsurd.

The McCain campaign is one of the most mismanaged, and mis-runned campaign I have ever seen.

McCain could have easily winning already, for example if they had started talking about the economy in the summer. A conservative subject.

Boom.

Sarah Palin, I don't know who advised McCain for this step, but damn....

Wolf is blatantly pro Obama

I disagree, he is all around, possibly a bit a tiny left-leaning, but not like Chris Matthews....I am terribly disappointed by him.


Anderson Cooper who seemed to be wearing an armor that impenetrable by bias. I like the guy, I hope he takes over Wolf's position one day.

Well Matthews is a different beast, I still dunno how someone like him can have a job at any credible news station...atleast people like Hannity are usually limited to pure commentary. I agree with your list though though watching Wolf is painful with his um ah every followed by a pause every 5 seconds. Smith and Cooper are probably the more enjoyable of the list to watch.

You guys actually watch/listen to Fox News? You shouldn't be giving that channel ratings.

Some of us actually get our news from multiple sources, right, left, middle...*gasp* shocking isnt it. Next thing you know you'll be saying we shouldnt be watching MSNBC/NBC either.

You call Fox News a source? Probably the most ridiculous form of media today. And then you refer to multiple sources...Don't you mean Bush and Murdoch...Bush and Murdoch...Bush and Murdoch. It has nothing to do with "right,left,middle". Political stance has nothing to do with a form a of media that is completely controlled and manipulated. Hmmmm I wonder why Fox News never reports the names of the thousands of innocent Palestinians murdered in cold blood my Israeli soldiers every year. But when one Israeli soldier or civilian is murdered, as awful as it is, it plastered across the biased news channels across the world. I can't believe you can even argue for the grotesque reporting that is present in America and throughout the world today. It is disgusting.

Yes it is a source because the entire channel isnt bad just some aspects of it. As Farnan pointed out watching the "good" part of it is actually productive. And no I dont mean Bush and Murdoch anymore then mentioning CNN in the 90s meant Turner. You dont like Fox great so dont watch it and spare me your lecturing while Ill continue to include Fox in my stream of new sources which include them, CNN, BBC and bunch of others.

CNN is horrific and the BBC has lost the wide respect it used to hold due to its shoddy and desperate reporting. If you're interested in political matters, and I know its hard to hold ones concentration when the news doesn't contain the flashy headlines of CNN's "Rumsfeld: Iraq WMDs may still be found," (Hasn't our old pal G.W. figured out that this argument is a lost cause?), try perhaps,

Good reporting. Both sides of every story, and most importantly - factual and uninfluenced.

You watch the good shows that have intelligent anchors and then they'll show more of that and less idiocy.

Why is this plumber taking up airtime ??
Why the hell is he even being asked questions during an presidential campaign ??
Is he running for president or is McCain ??
Is he being taken for some sort of advisor or something ??
I just can't understand it.
Why is he at some sort of rally being asked questions ??
Shouldn't he be out and repairing toilets so that he can start that company that he spoke with Obama about ??
