Shep Smith jumped right out of his Fox News costume after the San Bernardino shooting Wednesday and into the role of human being who understands truth. While reporting on the incident, Smith read strong statements from the president condemning the violence and made it a point to mention that the fact that we’re the only civilized country where this happens almost daily:
[President Obama] got a lot of partisan pushback on that from his political opponents but the fact of the matter is, among developed nations, that’s the truth. These sorts of mass shooting with the regularity of where they occur in the United States — you don’t find that in other countries… you can extrapolate what you want. I can report to you with certainty that it happens more here than anywhere else in the world.
It’s about time for Shep Smith to tell Roger Ailes where to go and join team truth. Smith’s outspoken, often left-leaning rants can’t be going over well with the higher-ups, who know that the GOP base of fools hangs on the every word of whoever is currently behind the desk at Fox.

Uh oh… facts on Fox.
Fox news is not News, its a Video Tabloid. Facts are secondary til it’s so blunt you cannot avoid them.
Even then, facts are always optional.
*pfft* facts…..
Shep Smith is the token journalist on Fox Noise Channel.
They are trying to reach out to the ‘normal’ demographic.
Too late.
Quick, Shep! Get out of there before your soul is a tattered mess!
Smith is waking up….
How does he, as a gay man, reconcile the fact that he works for these people?
How does a liberal Christian reconcile with abortion?
Very simple, we don’t believe the passages from the bible Anti-Choice people use as a reason to not allow woman to have legal autonomy over their bodies are being used correctly. We realize Pro-Choice doesn’t mean you are Pro-Abortion in fact most of us have never had an abortion & if facing such a choice probably wouldn’t choice to have one unless there were some circumstances that out weighed getting one like our life was at risk. While I want as few abortions as possible to happen & if they happen that they are done as early on in the pregnancy as possible before the fetus is even forming; I’d rather people be responsible for their sexual reproduction pro-actively before hand then after the fact.
Okay…so apply that same basic logic to someone who is a gay conservative.
again, this is an article about gun control. first you answer a gun control question with an abortion question, now you answer an abortion debate with a statement about homosexuals.
your retort is non sensical
Only to those blinded to the flip-side of an argument
it’s a non sequitur.
non sequitur. also, answering a question w another question. also, if you’re a christian, you are yourself a minority. less than 1/3 of americans identify as christian, and they certainly are not all liberals. great question, but post in under an article about liberal christians who support abortion. this is about gun violence.
You fail at so much. 83% of Americans identify as Christian. The original post asked how a gay man reconciles working at a conservative leaning network. My reply…yes stated as a question…was meant to illustrate how it could be he feels just fine about it. If you need me to, I’ll be happy to draw it in pictures…with stick figures if necessary.
youre replies, while i understand what you are saying, as i am using english, are still non sequiturs to the posts you were replying to. you were illustrating unrelated points, regardless of purpose. mature response too. dont worry, ill remain civil, regardless of how much more fail you have.
he feels just fine about it because they are giving him money. everybody has a price. 91% of oncologists would refuse chemo for themselves or their family, but they’ll kill you with it all day to you for a 6 figure paycheck. non sequitur perhaps, but just illustrating the point w an equivalent comparison. should i be “ilustrating” it w a drawing? maybe w stick figures? i dont have time for this anymore.
Abortion, the go to subject for amoral people who like to pretend they form their beliefs based on being moral. Mean while the nation’s middle class is being steadily bled dry by a huge transfer of wealth from the middle class to the super rich all having started with Reagan and continued via the cult that is the RepubliKlan Party. We know them as the least moral demographic in the USA. The Fox News Nation is a nation of frauds.
They let him suck Bill O’Reilly
That boy wakes up with his panties in a wad.
He doesn’t know the reason it happens more in the US than in any other country? Really? Maybe it’s the ridiculous interpretation of the 2nd Amendment that has thrown out the ‘Well Regulated Militia’ phrase and only reads as “Right to bear arms.’

Roger’s waiting for him with a switch…
Ya Shep, you might be waking up to the truth about gun violence but you’re still cashing the check of stupidity!
Maybe Sheppie will jump to CNN, they have more gays.
He has incredible patience. How he kept from slapping the sh*t out of Greta when she joined at 7 that night is beyond me.
