Wow, Shep Smith opens with Romneys Olympic Gaffe!!! I am shocked!! No other news organization has

[Pisces]

opened or mentioned it. Wolf ignored it completely. They are really playing it up.

[Lint Head]

1. I think the far right want a brokered convention.

[KaryninMiami]

4. Hmmm. Ok- so then I wonder--

Suppose that happens- who do you think they would prefer? Or is it moreover -ABR (anybody but Romney)?

[Lint Head]

9. ABR

Jeb maybe.

[KaryninMiami]

14. Yeah- that's what I think too. They really have no one else.

Maybe they will simply give up and let Romney loose and therefore, finished politically and put their eggs in the Jeb basket for 16.

[XemaSab]

18. It's never going to happen

You really want to put the most gifted democrat in a generation up against the legacy of the most embarrassing republican in a generation?

[Mz Pip]

2. Shepard Smith actually does some real news

unlike the rest of Fox.

I guess O'Reilly willhave some spinning to do afterwards.

[RKP5637]

27. Shepard Smith IMO is an anomaly at Fox. I've always counted him as

one of the good guys in life.

[Wait Wut]

3. I swear he's trying to lose his job.

[Pisces]

7. Something is up, he reported that trip is overshadowed by Olympic gaffe. This is the only news show

I have seen report this story accurately. I am waiting to see Ed Show and Rachel. Tweety didn't even mention until 30 min. in and
it was a passing remark. Maybe he does want to get fired. I think we need him there speaking sanity to the insane.

[Ian David]

5. FREE SHEP!!! n/t

[RKP5637]

36. +1000 +++ n/t

[pinboy3niner]

6. CNN's on-air reports called it "a diplomatic flameout for Romney"

The last report aired on Blitzer's Situation Room.

[Pisces]

8. They did not open with this story. It was buried deep into the newscast. Shep opened with it.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

17. I ran home this evening to see if Tweety would lead with this story. He didn't. He led with the CO

tragedy. He's ending with the overseas gaffes, but I was shocked that it wasn't the top story.

ETA: I DVR'd Marty Bashir's show. I'll see if he starts off with this. But of course, he's not on. By the way, where are the MSNBC hosts? Rachel is out. Marty is out. I know why Ed is out. It's just weird.

[Pisces]

19. Eds replacement is talking about it a lot. Erin Burnett had a small segment. This should be bigger

news. The Brits are pissed. It is front page news in England. He also called it Great Britain instead of the United Kingdom.
Gaffe after gaffe.

Embarrassing.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

20. MED is on point tonight! He is great!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Sharpton lead with it

but I know alot of folks forget the he's there.....

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

25. MED's entire show is on this.

[Voice for Peace]

29. MED?

what is MED?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

35. Michael Eric Dyson hosting the Ed Show in Ed's absence. He will be hosting until further notice. :)

[Voice for Peace]

37. thanks!

[rox63]

10. ABC talked about it on the evening news

It is getting some MSM coverage in the U.S.

[JI7]

11. and this should have been the easiest one to visit , imagine him in China, middle east

or other nations where there are some serious issues and conflicts.

[Politicalboi]

12. He can always pull a Bush

"Russia is big, and so is China" LOL!

[C_U_L8R]

13. The silence of the press is stunning

but not so surprising.

C'mon guys... this is funny-ass stuff here !!!
Mitt is making an absolute fool of himself in front of the world.

[zbdent]

31. "silence of the press" ... not just stunning ... overwhelmingly expected.

[spanone]

15. nbc nightly news opened with it...

brian williams was the interviewer for the gaffe

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

16. Shep is the most honest thing going on over there in Faux News land.

[SteveG]

21. PBS's Nightly News covered it (nt)

nt

[Major Hogwash]

23. What gaffe?

I don't know what you're talking about and I don't watch Faux Snooze.

[Pirate Smile]

24. NBC & CBS led with this story on their nightly news. Sounds brutal. Heh

[Motown_Johnny]

32. NBC touched on it a little, I missed the CBS spot.

It seemed like NBC focused on just the one gaffe from their interview with him. Not even one third of the story.

[MineralMan]

26. The CBS Evening News opened with it, as well.

It's easy to say that nobody else did it if you don't know that at least one did. I was pleasantly surprised to hear CBS open their Evening News with that story.

Perhaps you weren't watching that news program. Reading the rest of the thread, I see that all three networks opened with the story. I guess you're incorrect, then.

[Hughscott]

28. Over 100 FREE cartoons about Romney & the rightwing GOP for use in websites, blogs, newsletters, etc

Want a chuckle at Willard's expense? Then visit http://www.Unfit-Mitt.com and tell your friends. I just posted two cartoons about the London Olympics

[Voice for Peace]

33. are they your original cartoons?

Welcome to DU!
Toons are usually well loved here.

[CTyankee]

30. well, if fox does it, Morning Joe will have to follow suit tomorrow!

Bet they can't ignore the ignoramus too much longer with their false equivalency games that they were STILL playing this today before I snapped them OFF...

[bluestateguy]

34. Because Shep is the only one who isn't in on the "Fair and Balanced" joke

He actually takes that seriously.

[fascisthunter]

38. Why??? They are appealing to a sociopathic base...

it's why they allow Shepard Smith to report the things he does. Don't folks here get it????????

[reformist2]

39. Well good for Shep (hopefully Fox won't scold him for it!)

[seabeyond]

40. my son said the right will probably like hearing this from romney. might be true. nt

[malaise]

41. Rmoney better watch his back overseas

Shit Howie Dean is cracking up with laughter on Lawrence
