Shep Smith,of Fox News, is an anomaly. I've seen a few YouTube vids, like this one, where he goes contrary to what we typically expect from that organization; have a look:
Can't see the video since it's unavailable in Canada. (got to use my VPN for that).
Yes Shep doesn't tow the line at Fox. He's also a very outspoken married openly gay person which should never raise an issue but as a Fox anchor person it kinda does.
I bet the network uses his presence as a way to demonstrate they are a balanced new organization.
I think you are precisely right on that point, about balance.
This actually gives me a little hope for humanity. thanks for posting.
You're welcome.
