Shepard Smith, Fox News

[MichMatters]

His comment was in no way constructive or of any positive value. It is not at all unsurprising; look who he works for, and what passes for cable "news", these days across the board. Mayhaps, he wouldn't find it so funny if someone joked about burning down his inherently trashy and laughable network which hasn't reported actual news since its birth, and whose viewers don't even believe their silly motto.

But, that's about where all of this ends. At the end of the day, he's a dime-a-dozen talking head, and a reported diva, at that, and one with a history of being emotionally unstable. This is not at all out of character for him.

So...Meh.

I don't know, considering they're the highest-rated cable news network in the country & nine of the top ten rated cable news shows are on Faux News [[the other being Countdown With Keith Olbermann on MSNBC), Rupert Murdoch apparently has been quite successful in brainwashing the tiny minds of Americans.

If I had a nickel for every people I've heard say Faux News is the most accurate & balanced news station on television, I would be the richest man ever...

Good thread, people, here's the path forward: I'd like some Detroit "Men-of-the-Cloth" to announce tomorrow, from the pulpit, that Wednesday evening we will be having a "homework night", and parents and kids are welcome to attend, and we will help you to work through the homework problems in a way that will help you to understand the underlying principles and concepts. We are plowing new ground here, and it may play out like this: At first, maybe only the nerds will show up, but that's OK, and don't discourage them, because they will become useful, peer, tutors. After a while, more kids will show up, and that's where things will get interesting. I can even envision each pastor setting up a "homework hotline" on the CONNECT board, and each of us helping the kids to work through the problems. Let's initially restrict the hotline to math questions, that will keep the hotline from becoming just a bunch of Wiki links.
