Look at how incredibly defensive Shep Smith gets in this interview with Naomi Wolf. They're scared that the rest of the media has finally caught on -- they don't do real news!

1. Cenk...
And commentary from the likes of you regarding the likes of Shepard Smith is "real" news to me how?

2. THE LIBERAL MEDIA IS TO BLAME! I LOVE THAT EXCUSE.

3. Is it just me or are the news women getting better looking? Like that hottie on CNN, O'Brian?

MSNBC's News ANCHOR David Schuster says Clinton campaign has "pimped out" her daughter Chelsea and is suspended and Young Jerks does story on what? I did not see Shep Smiths story on AP but saw the MSNBC Chelsea on AP.
But I did see MSNBC's screw up on other News Wires but not on the Joung Jerks.
Just eats at you. Fox News #1, you are not even on Air America any more and their ratings were .02%, or your favorite MSNBC has one fifth or less viewers than Fox, and Young Jerks just never made it anywhere to even get rated.
Fox ratings keep going up everytime you run one of your frequent stories on Fox.
You are a awful small person who is also a big hot air bag

5. While Shep is clearly overreacting here and it's a bit startling, for you guys to assert or imply somehow that all players at Fox are conservative is simply nonsensical.
Let's face it, with the possible exception of Tim Russert, just about everybody in the news biz makes a donkey out of themselves once in a while. It probably means nothing, except that the offending news jockey was working on too little sleep.
And for anybody to try to sell the notion that Fox "doesn't do real news" is just dopey. Of course they do. And they're kicking the backsides of the competition. (Pure jealousy.)

"and the "jealously" just drives some Liberal Fascists crazy."

Election years make Green Party members crazy.

9. Good work, Cenk! This one is a knee-slapper!
Captain Negative at 6:27AM on Feb 9th 2008
10. FOX news is number 1. O'reilly and Smith are by far number 1 in their time slots. MSNBC is a farce! They don't report news, they try to shape opinions. They are extremely pro O'Dummer, and they love to drag Hillary and the GOP in the dirt. But it is MSNBC and their cronies that have been left in the dirt by FOX.
Lewis at 6:30AM on Feb 9th 2008
11. Lewis a #2010. FOX news is number 1. O'reilly and Smith are by far number 1 in their time slots

So? What does that have to do with anything? Fox and MSNBC both suck. This particular blog happens to be about Fox sucking.
Captain Negative at 6:54AM on Feb 9th 2008
12. Liberal Fascists? What kind of moron thinks
Fascists Were Liberal? OH Yeah Hitler was a real Liberal. My god what has education of this nation come to. Hitler EXECUTED and imprisoned members of the SDP, the LIBERAL SOCIALIST party of Germany. The LIBERALS, the SPD were the only party to vote against the enabling act in 1933 because Hitler had already OUTLAWED the KPD, the communist party. OH yeah Fascists were real liberals. Turn off your NEO CON radio right wing Radio. THEY ARE LYING TO YOU. Just like Goebbels lied to the Germans to make them think Fascism was a good thing. You are obviously too uneducated to know when you are being lied to.

13. Cenk and other liberals are obsessed with FNC. FNC has twice as many viewers as CNN and MSNBC combined and it drives the likes of Cenk Uygur insane. FNC has no reason to be defensive which Cenk proves by obsessively playing "gotcha" with their programming. It's easy to picture Cenk and Friends parked in front of their idiot boxes transfixed on FNC while scribbling in their drool covered notepads.
Robert Byngham at 7:11AM on Feb 9th 2008
14. What does being No. 1 have to do with it? Doesn't mean they're right. Why do they tend to ID McCain as "D-AZ"?
Phil Scott at 7:55AM on Feb 9th 2008
15. One other thing. The lady that made the comment that caused Shephard Smith to go nuclear is a "guest". Try going on any other network and tell the host that his or her station is, in effect, lousy and biased. You'll suddenly find that the screen with your face on it turns to fuzz and your mike doesn't work. If you don't like Fox, don't go on Fox. Otherwise, act like a "guest".
And yes, Heidi, we said "liberal fascism". That's not the same as calling you a Nazi. Try to take a deep breath or two.
