| Fox News' Shep Smith Offers Full-Throated Defense of Hillary Clinton |
| 2018-12-19 |
| [Political Insider] Fox News anchor Shepard Smith scoffed at comparisons between the FBI’s treatment of Hillary Clinton with their treatment of former Trump National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn. And he did so by disparaging the reporting of one of the network’s most respected investigative journalists, Catherine Herridge. Recent reports have suggested Flynn was coerced into forgoing a lawyer during his interview with the FBI, while agents sought to make him relaxed during the process in the hopes of getting him to lie. Flynn was unaware that he was under official review, did not have counsel present, and thought he was just shooting the breeze with fellow lawmen. The interview eventually led to a guilty plea on one count of making false statements. The revelations have led to comparisons of Clinton’s interview, in which the FBI allowed her to have multiple lawyers and aides present to help defend herself and was conducted in a manner that former Director James Comey described as "unusual." Herridge noted in a segment with Shep that critics have made the comparisons between the two interviews and the host responded by acting like a child, rolling his eyes, interrupting Herridge’s report, and generally speaking like an ignorant, hardcore fan of the former First Lady. It was, in a word, embarrassing. Watch: |

| #7 FoxNews ads are almost all scams or disgusting drugs that can kill you a billion ways. "Please old feeble person do a reverse mortgage with us and enjoy your old age while we bring in appraisers to re-appraise your home after the mortgage at a low value and then steal your home." "Please by silver/gold/Pt now its a great investment - neglecting to say that there is sales tax and maybe an assay cost when you sell." "Geico - we are lizards from Omaha" "P... - with the fat weird lady .. we will never let on that Soros owns our insurance company" "look at all the icky plumbing pipes we put in bodies for our ads. Use our prescription gook that can kill you a million ways to avoid farting from your poor eating habits." ... and so on FoxNews |

| #6 And, yeah, I get the advertised product angle, but I buy what I buy and I'm not taking the time to see who advertises on those networks. It's pretty much impossible to be "pure" in that regard, but like religious purity (looking at you, muzzez) and political purity, the value of that sort of "purity" is suspect to say the least. |

| #5 #3 I don't have a cable bundle and I don't pay for or watch any of the cable or broadcast news networks. I don't even listen to the audio feed for it on SiriusXM in my car. Real Jazz is better for my blood pressure... |

| #3 ...well, if you buy any products advertised there on, you are. Far more fractionally than cable or satellite subscriptions, but 'no advertisers, no show'. The Left is working that angle for you right now. |

| #1 "Full-throated"... is that a metaphor, an adjective phrase, or an invitation ? |
