Fox News's Shepard Smith smacks down cohosts covering Baltimore riots

[guno]

Fox News's Shepard Smith earned scores of brownie points for his coverage of the Baltimore riots. It was shocking to say the least. While Smith was covering the Baltimore riots with the hosts of Fox News The Five, he continuously smacked them down for their dog whistle. They attempted to blame prominent civil rights leaders for not being there. They also attempted to indict the parents of the rioters. Smith would have none of it. He told them that they should cover the event and leave recrimination where applicable for another day.

This is why I like Smith. He's honest. He did the same thing during Katrina when Hannity was trying to get him to sugarcoat the situation for the Bush boy. Ol' Shep wasn't playing that.

I like Shep but he has to realize that "The Five" is a commentary panel. That's what they do

Doesn't sound like he disputes that. He just tole 'em they's fulla shit.

"We’ve got a major American city that has decades of turmoil within this neighborhood,” Smith said. “Decades! You’ve heard the stories from Doug McKelway a little while ago of people being arrested for nothing, a violent crackdown for years and years, of them feeling powerless and hopeless and nobody listening to what they were saying. One quarter of the youth locked up. Clearly there is a big problem. Then all of a sudden an African-American man is taken into a vehicle and he comes out of it and dies. And you get nothing from authorities except a suspension. And those who would do harm take an opportunity to do harm. And here we are. But it is what has happened between all of that and today that has led to this. There is no escaping that reality."​

Fox viewers routinely take that misinformed hateful commentary panel's statements as fact. The most ridiculous statements made on that show are regularly repeated here as facts, and the right wingers embrace it as gospel.

I love threads like this shows that FOX is truly more balanced than the far left news sources..

The far left just keeps showing how much they do not understand anything that is balanced..

This shows that Shepherd Smith is a credible journalist. One credible journalist on the entire network is certainly representative of the network. Can you name even one other person on fox who has not tried to instigate even more anger than already exists?

Yeah Shepard did a good job on balancing that segment and spoke as honestly as he could.

 

[whitehall]

"His (Shep Smith) prose was a display of understanding that one seldom expects from Fox". Regardless of what progs "expect" from Fox it seems that the clowns should read the whole link before they post their daily left wing blogs.

 

[bucs90]

He was also ripping the cops for "doing nothing".

Well Shep...they're hiring. Come grab a shield.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Progs watch Fox News wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than I do

 

[ScienceRocks]

So the cops should just go home and let the entire ******* place burn. That is your solution? So much for maintaining a civilization, guno. Jesus ******* h effin Christ man.
