Why Doess Shepard Smith Stay At Fox.... |
|
....besides a contractual obligation...Why doesn't MSNBC offer him work if his Fox gig is nearly over.......His spirit has to be in pain...

3. He's auditioning for a job in journalism. They have to know he can do it first. |
|
What better way to stand out than to try it on Fox?

I think his "spirit" has long been since tarred by his breathless parroting of Fox misinformation and lies. Shep Smith was front man for 9/11 propaganda and War on Terror cheerleading.

9. I think that's an easy one |
|
They have a sizable audience and give him two hours a day . . . I imagine he's well paid as well. It's probably as sweet a gig as an anchor can get on cable news.
As for any moral dilemmas, I imagine people who work at Fox are generally supportive of the operation, even those like Shep who aren't hardcore right wingers.

10. No no not MSNBC. I want all the good ones to head over to Current TV with Keith. |
|
If Keith could talk Cenk Shep Rachel Ed to come over to Current TV - it would be AWESOME!

there was a really funny woman on there we watched today. She does infomania and Target Women. Not really political but pretty funny. I loved watching her trash those home security commercials.

Love, love, love Target Women. Hilarious and scathing look at advertising.

18. He signed a 3 year contract extension on 10-26-10 |
|
I couldn't find how much he makes. Up to that point, he had been making between 7-8 million a year.
