Off in the distance Shep Smith sheds a single tear of despair

What's the one thing you think the Fox News media empire needed? Was it one more loathed right wing pundit famous for his screeds against immigrants/immigration, his belief that the President is a Kenyan sleeper agent, shallow faux-populism, and a gargantuan sized ego replete with delusions of grandeur? They heard your clarion call.

Certainly, Fox continues to aggressively bolster its on-air talent, most recently with the hiring of John Stossel, the libertarian investigative journalist from ABC News, for its spin-off channel, Fox Business. The business channel is also keen on another administration critic, Lou Dobbs, who met for dinner with Mr. Ailes last month, according to two people with direct knowledge of the meeting.

John Stossel and Lou Dobbs? They're taking everyone I hate and putting them on two channels I will never have to see them on. I don't know what this emotion is I'm feeling towards Fox News...is it...gratitude? Heartfelt thanks? A desire that their studio collapses when all of them are gathered inside?

That said, if you see Shep Smith today just give him a pat on the back and tell him you feel for him. If he's wearing a cast on his hand it's because he punched a wall in anger. Ah, it's just one more thing for him to get righteously indignant about.
