‘National Day of Intolerance’: Did Shepard Smith Attack Chick-fil-A?

Fox News‘ Shepard Smith is an unconventional broadcaster by his network’s standards. On the one hand, despite being sandwiched between opinion shows, Smith’s sign-off, “Now you know the news,” is more the signature line of a straight news broadcaster. And indeed, Smith’s show tends to follow more the format of his compatriots such as Bret Baier or Chris Wallace.

However, unlike Baier or Wallace, Smith does inject opinions into his shows, and they’re not usually opinions that observers would expect on Fox News. Indeed, at least on social questions, Smith tends to be downright liberal. Take his quote from early May saying that Republicans were “on the wrong side of history” when it comes to gay marriage. Or, for that matter, take a comment he made today that sounds an awful lot like a slam against Mike Huckabee’s “Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day.”

“It’s National Badminton Day,” Smith said. “Forget National Day of Intolerance, let’s just say with Badminton.”

“National Day of Intolerance?” Unless we’re missing some sort of Nazi appreciation day or similar little-known holiday, that would seem to be a clear slam against Chick-fil-A. Quite aside from making water cooler conversations awkward between Huckabee and Smith (who are colleagues at Fox News), one wonders what prompted this apparent outburst from Smith.

    People showed up NOT because they are anti-gay but because they are PRO free speech. The LGBT folks want the main-stream to be tolerant of their views but they aren’t willing to tolerate majority views. Big mistake: We surround them. And, BTW, as is usual with Conservative “rallies”, people were kind to one another. Great chance for Chick-fil-A to win new customers.

      What’s with their incessant demand to be accepted to the point of changing a language of the majority? I don‘t care for football and I’m often made fun of for it, and I don‘t feel the need to change the fruit of the game so I can find comfort in watching football so I’m not made fun of sometimes. I guess I just have a natural comfort in my own skin.

      Complete and total BS. They are anti-gay. They try to hide behind Orwellian terms such as “traditional marriage” but the facts bear out they are anti-gay.

      They supported Exodus, which helped Uganda build it’s “kill the gays” bill. They supported the Family Research Center, which lobbied Congress AGAINST condemning that same bill.

      You cannot say that Chick-Fil-A’s executive is not anti-gay.

      The LBGT community wants you to be tolerant of their RIGHTS, not their views. You sound ignorant when you say that they should be accepting of the “majority’s” views. A view which promotes discrimination and the limitation of civil rights? I’ll protest your “view” all day. If someone as simple minded as you wants to believe in such nonsense, good for you, not one LBGT person would be affected by your ignorance, but as a business owner and someone in the corporate world, don’t alienate your customers.

      @lila4137: Here’s the problem as I see it: Chick Fil-A doesn’t discriminate against anyone. They don‘t ask their customers if they’re gay and refuse service nor do they post signs or anything that could be even remotely considered discriminatory. LBGT is attacking a person because of his personal beliefs. Why should that be tolerated but the intolerance of the LBGT community be considered right or normal?

      Mr. Cathy has a right to believe what he wants, he’s also guaranteed that right under the First Amendment i.e. “prohibit the free exercise thereof”. Just because his beliefs doesn‘t jive with what the LBGT wants to be considered as normal doesn’t make him wrong, shouldn’t make him a target and certainly not inhibit his ability to run a business, The mayors of the cities that want to refuse him the right to conduct business in “their” cities, as if they own the city, are completely out of control and should be sued for denying Mr. Cathy’s right to operate a business.

It took little time years ago to figure out what he was. Smith combined with the hour of the Leprechaun with Beck being gone was the last straw for me. Have not watched them since except for a few minutes every so often, almost exclusively only when Megyn Kelly is on.

      I agree with you LWILLIS59. I don’t believe for one second that “Shepard Smith” or “Neil Cavuto” are suited for FNC. If you watch them both close enough, you can see how hard they are working to “Hide” there true “Political” beliefs. It’s become very obvious lately. I like you “Willis”, either turn my television off completely or walk away until Shepard Smith is done with his program. I get no “Satisfaction” out of tuning into one of his programs and never have. And as far as Neil Cavuto, his “Praise” for President Obama is becoming constant because with each and every one of his shows he has to make sure he “Defends” the President somehow. I believe it was “Fathers Day” when Neil Cavuto thought it would be a good idea to “Praise” Obama during this one particular show on how “Wonderful” a father Obama was and that is not my issue. My issue is that he could have used any “Father” in the United States to “Represent” fathers day and he chose “Obama”. That is when I realize Neil Cavuto is a true “Liberal Democrat”. I always new but Neil Cavuto had made it very clear at that point. For the very few times I’ve mistakenly sat down and began to watch Shepard Smith I realized just how much “Pain” the man is in, having to report on mostly “Conservative” issues. I don’t think either one of these “Guys” can hide it anymore. I watch Neil Cavuto, but at the same time, I‘m getting tired of him constantly trying to defend the President who doesn’t de

      Is Shep Smith Liberal? Does a bear live in the woods? My family and I have been furious over this so-called newscaster for a long time. As the story states his show is supposed to be a non-opinionated news show sandwiched around a couple of opinionated shows, but to anyone who watches, it‘s clear this isn’t unbiased news. Shep’s side comments, pouts, raising of the eyebrows, shrugs, etc. make it clear he’s a wannabe. I like the idea that Fox should be able to claim that their newscasts are ‘fair and balanced’, but that’s just not so with Smith. In my opinion, he’d fit in well with MSNBC. In fact, I’ve cut down drastically on my Fox viewing over the last year. Glen Beck’s departure was one reason, Shep’s so-called unbiased news reporting is another.

      @SMARTGIRL: Exactly. I don’t care who is gay or straight or confused about it. What I don’t approve of is the marriage of same sex. This confuses the issue. Live together if you must, but leave the marriage to one man and one woman.

      About Chick Fil A, I was not lending support because I’m against gay lifestyles, I was supporting them because I believe we have the right to say we “don’t approve of same sex marriage.” It’s an opinion and nothing wrong with it.

      The general public is damned if we do and damned if we don’t. Maybe we should walk around with strapping tape across our mouths so we don’t offend anyone by stating the simple facts about what we believe.

      Were not for the actions of the LGBT Sandwich, I would not consider them my enemy. But they have lined me up to be one of theirs, and I will not be bowed down by such a bunch of sad broken fools who are so desperate for approval that they can’t have anyone speak against them.

      Let them go cry, let them weep and keep trying to stamp out everyone who they disagree with. They are starting to reap what they sow. Eventually all those people who they have made out to be their enemies will truly become so, and their lives will get a lot worse after that.

      Cathy spoke as a private citizen not as Chick Fil A’s policy. In fact Chick Fil A does not discriminate at all. Yet liberal city officials arbitrarily decided to ban Chick Fil A from opening locations there..based on what? Absolutely nothing other than Cathy spoke against liberal orthodoxy.
      Statism is what you lefties support. YOU want the state to pick winners and losers based solely on ideology. If they go against liberal orthodoxy there are marked for reprisals and eradication. You salivate for this day to come don’t you? Fascist little piece of lefty filth…

      I do not watch FoxNews because of Bob Beckel and Bill O’Reilly, 1 is a leftist and the 2nd is a moderate, which to me makes watching this channel IFFY.

      As for FoxNews being FAIR AND BALANCED – my foot!
      FoxNews is more moderate than they are conservative any more, especially the opinion pieces, like from O’Reilly.

      Romney’s “candidacy remains tested by concerns over his business background and his reluctance to release more of his tax returns.” Both of these issues get to his credibility for some voters.
      The sustained attacks by the Obama campaign on Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital have helped that concern along.
      ———————————–Romney’s own refusal to release more of than two years of his tax returns are contributing to the view that he has something to hide. And I contend that all of this is making it difficult for Romney’s economic message to break through.

      Why should voters trust his plans for job creation if his tenure at Bain was about cutting jobs or shipping them overseas? ————————-Why should voters trust him to fix the tax code in a manner that would be fair to all and not simply the wealthy like him?

      The tax-return issue is especially harmful because he looks shifty, like he has something to hide. His worry that his critics will use them to embarrass him, while understandable, is of no consequence to the American public.
      ——————————-They are asked to produce multiple years of tax returns for plenty of things less important than the privilege of being president of the United States. Romney is asking the American people to trust him with their lives and livelihood. —————————The least he could do is be transparent about his finances.

      But that’s part of Romney’s problem, isn’t

      However, there are those on here who wouldn‘t stand up for a company’s free speech if they were for Homosexual Marriage. Note: I’m very anti-homosexual marriage but I’m trying to point out that some people on this topic want it both ways.

      All creatures in the animal kingdom are born anti-homosexual. It is nature’s way of perpetuating the species. Inbred in every creature is an instinct of revulsion and dislike at anything in opposition to natural law, especially as it concerns survival and carrying on with its own kind.

      Traditional marriage is not orwellian. You mayhaps should check Miriam’s (Webster’s to the rest of English speaking U.S.) for its definition and actually read 1984 while you’re at it. Newspeak’s latest volume is waiting for your perusal. It is a story about the complete government censorship and obliteration of free speech of the people in London and the resulting society. It bashes your “liberal” marxist system. Really you have no idea what orwellian and likely dystopian mean.

      Shep has made many gaffes including the snow job comment, no doubt, intentionally and letting people think they were unintentional. I guess that means it isn’t really a gaffe then.

      I went to one of the Chick-fil-A stores in our city three times yesterday. First time was at breakfast and not too crowded. Lunch at 1:30 was an entirely different matter, so I took a couple of pictures of the crowd (all very nice – like a big party) to send via text to my kids, then went back around 4PM to pick up lunch. Still crowded, but not as much as the 1:30 crowd. Everyone was extremely pleasant, and the servers had taking orders down to a fine art. Got my lunch in less than 15 minutes (which is a long wait for their usual service time). Went back today for lunch, and the crowds were back, just not as much as yesterday. I LOVE IT. Chick-fil-A is the only ‘fast’ food I will eat, and they are so nice, so courteous, and I will continue to eat their chicken :) Too bad for SS – what a rotten thing to say. Amazing how the LGBT crowd can be so full of hate, anger and intolerance, yet those who disagree with their lifestyle don’t spout hate and intolerance. I ‘boycott’ several stores because of their stance on the gay issue, but I don’t take it to the streets screaming for a boycott. I just refuse to give them my hard-earned money.

      BruceP, Orwellian is redefining marriage to include same sex marriage. Pick another term that better describes the relationship, it is not a MARRIAGE. It’s like dogs saying they think cats have a better rights so hence forth they want to be defined as cats too, but it doesn’t make them cats in reality. It isn’t about equal rights, it’s about redefining concepts. Liberals/gays are removing all meaning from words, that is truly Orwellian.

      I have a gay daughter, which I have not disowned. She simply doesn’t like boys. Until she meets “the right guy” (possible, because she sure seemed to like guys in her teenage years), she is gay. In any case, I’m not disowning the daughter.

      I went to Chick-Fil-A last night. As you know, California voted Proposition 8 into law, which forbid gay marriage. It is the liberal courts that are thwarting the will of the people. (The federal government also thwarts the will of the people who voted to allow medical marijuana, but that’s another story.)

      So, why did I go to Chick-Fil-A last night? Because I don’t like thought control. I will think the way I want to think, and express the opinions I want to express, and unlike a lot of Christians, I believe that other people should be allowed to have views that differ. I am not like a lot of the idiots who actually want a Baptist Theocracy. I also don’t think Christians are “persecuted” in this country. I find it odd that Chick-Fil-A was attacked like this, but I think we probably opened a lot of liberal eyes yesterday.

      And yes, the people going to Chick-Fil-A yesterday were extremely kind to each other……….And I bought what was left, just to buy from them……..I had already eaten dinner…….and I had a chicken sandwich for dessert!

      ***Caution This is an Exercise of My Freedom of Speech***
      I am anti-gay by my default position to stand in opposition to sin. I am opposed to individuals exchanging the truth for a lie. When men exchange the natural affection for women and burn in their lusts for one another and then exacerbate their sin when they take into themselves the due penalty of their error. Disease such as AIDS and mental disease surely folloq. I am opposed to such.

      I find that Jesus told me to love God with all my heart, and soul, and then also love my neighbor as myself. These are the greatest commandments and good for the homosexual that Christian men and women adhere to this principle. Instead of an exercise in capitalistic solidarity, society might issue a bounty on homosexuals because of their sheer destructiveness towards human decency.

      It should be understood that even normal Public Displays of Heterosexual Affection is not really acceptable in polite crowds. For the homosexuals to come out into polite society at places where decent folks bring their children and stage a “Kiss-In” is outrageous.

      Homosexuals keep your perversion hidden…it is just as repulsive as child molestation.
      If your brain dysfunction will not allow you to understand decency then please let polite society know when you intend to exercise your perversion in public so that I can keep my family home. Perverse brain dysfunction on parade is not a point of pride it is the act of a fool.

I agree the whole day yesterday was about free speech more than about gay marriage. I would have gone. Though, since I agree with Dick Cheney rather than Mr. Cathy on this, I might not have bought a sandwich. LGBT supporters are free to boycott Chick Fil;A just as the Million Moms are free to boycott J C Penney for showing a same sex couple in a Mother’s Day ad.

You should not feel guilty- it is what you believe. IF; however, your opposition takes you to a point that you make fun of, pick on, or deliberately cause harm to someone who is gay, then- it is wrong. But- I can, not like something without it becoming a violent thing, as most people can. This is NOT about tolerance or acceptance! It’s not. Most people have come to tolerate homosexuality. This is about forcing people to CELEBRATE homosexuality and equalizing the union of homosexuals with the union of heterosexuals. The only way this can be done is if you wipe religion from the face of the earth. Because that is the basis for which most people cannot comply. To do that- you will have to destroy millions of people. So, my question is (for all you homosexual celebrator’s out there) are you willing that it should come to that? Millions of deaths all in the name of homosexual equality? Or- might we all just find a compromise? Allow people to have their difference of opinions as long as it does not cause physical or monetary harm to the homosexual.

      I posted before we went to CFA that I don’t care about the gay marriage issue. The wait was over an hour. We support them because we‘re sick of the Left’s fascist behavior. We stood for freedom of speech and religion. If the Left wants to boycott someone simply for expressing a differing view, I’ll walk right through those hateful fascists and support them unless I agree with the Left (very rare). Cathy said nothing hateful. He supports family values. So do I.
      Japan has little problem with crime per capita. The Left will tell you that it‘s because they don’t have guns. They’re COMPLETELY wrong. Japanese still have in honor. It’s a value held since the age of samurai. Do nothing to dishonor your family. America had a similar philosophy, but Progressives slowly blurred the line between moral and immoral. In Japan, they still know the difference. Sure, Japan has Yakuza, some crazies, some rebellious youths, but the vast amount of the population are good.
      Look at the guy harassing the young lady working at CFA. He believes anyone that disagrees with his ideology is immoral and intolerant yet he is completely oblivious to his own immorality and intolerance. Those on Twitter wishing death and disease on people simply because of their prejudice. They can’t learn from their mistakes when they believe they are always correct. They are unthinking followers (useful idiots) unwilling to accept truth if it doesn’t support their ideology.

      “So how are people expressing their displeasure with Chic Fil-a, NOT expressing their freedom of speech?”

      They are using their free speech as they should. That’s not the problem.

      “How are people saying that they will not eat at a restaurant whose company policy they dont agree with NOT freedom of speech. You guys are always going on and on about how, if we dont like a companys policies or ethics, let the market sort it out by not buying their products”

      That’s not the problem either. If you *really* can’t abide Mr. Cathy’s opinions and beliefs, then don’t eat at Chick-Fil-A.

      The problem is that the mayors of *two* major cities made threats to either run Chick-Fil-A out of town or make it as hard as they could to prevent any new franchises from being able to open. *That’s* the problem, and that is unacceptable. If Chick-Fil-A is *really* that alienated from Chicago values, then they won’t do very well there. It is not up to the mayor to be making those decisions. That’s the main issue that leftists are dodging: silencing dissent from the leftist agenda.

      @ smartgirl and and all others comments, I dont know this Shepard Smith and frankly don’t want to since if he is a reporter of the news that is exactly what he should be doing, reporting the news not giving his opinions of the news.
      I don’t believe in same sex marriage, but what two consenting adults do behind closed doors is none of my business. I also can’t get myself to call queers gay since gay is to be happy and merry and two men exchanging body fluids does not sound very happy to me, it is repulsive especially since I worked in a prison as a sergeant for too many years and had so see the perverted acts they did with each other, but like anything else, a person gets use to seeing anything when it is a routine part of our lives. In the prisons, the liberal administration would tell us to write inmates up when we caught them having sex but at the same time they were giving out condoms to the same inmates, so as long as I knew it was not rape I would let them know that they were busted but will not be written up.
      These queers have to realize that they are called queers for a reason and are not normal, and just because most normal people accept them knowing what they are they should also accept our opinions about their perversions. Mr Cathy put his Christian beliefs before his business and since he built his own business though Obama insists that the government did, he is within his right to not agree with their lifestyle and I commend him for his beliefs.

      There was tremendous vituperation from the homosexuals and lesbians. While those whobelieve in freedom just show up and support the victim of intolerance, those who are intolerant shout invective and demand that the world agree with their definition of marriage. Never mind that they have not been deprived of the right to enter into a union with all the benefits of marriage, they are not content until they have forced the majority into endorsing their ideals. I caught on to Shephard Smith during the Katrina disaster in New Orleans. It was obvious that he bought into the liberal hype and was supportive of the people who sat down and waited on others to rescue them instead of making any effort to get themselves up and on the road. There were many who could not get out; there were many who sat down on the bridge and waited for someone to come along and bring supplies to them when the road was before them and they might have been seeking to help someone.

      Answer: FRC did not lobby against the Uganda bill, H. Resolution 1064. Shortly after the misinformation was reported in 2010, we issued this statement on our blog:

      “Inaccurate internet reports have been circulating indicating that the Family Research Council lobbied against a congressional resolution condemning a bill proposed in Uganda. The Uganda
      bill would have provided for the death penalty for something called aggravated homosexuality. Unfortunately, those spreading these false rumors deliberately failed to obtain the facts first.

      FRC did not lobby against or oppose passage of the congressional resolution. FRCs efforts, at the request of Congressional offices, were limited to seeking changes in the language of proposed drafts of the resolution, in order to make it more factually accurate regarding the content of the Uganda bill, and to remove sweeping and inaccurate assertions that homosexual conduct is internationally recognized as a fundamental human right.

Your antiquated, misogynistic fables need to be kept away from the political arena because those of us with more than 5 brain cells should not be subjected to it. Imbeciles like KenB001 who hold such views as “homosexuality is a choice” must have chosen to be heterosexual as a child, since homosexuals choose their sexuality. Looking at his previous posts he seems awfully fearful of gays, which always means one thing..someone is still stuck in the closet! If you believe such a backward, scientifically disproven “theory” that homosexuality is a choice, then I bet you also believed women came from adam’s rib huh?

      @ LILA….Well since you are so knowledgable I would like to know what scientific proof you have for homosexuality being genetic and determined at birth. Since someone as obviously intelligent as you would NEVER base a statement such as you made in mere opinion without objective data to back it up. Of course I am curious about what you think about the monozygotic twin research papers that conclud there is no correlation between twins who possessed the exact same genetic material and whether they were homosexual or heterosexua as some were homosexual while their twin was heterosexual? They concluded that either there is no genetic predetermination or it is so weak that it is essentially negligible condsidering environmental factors. It seems that science and research concludes somehting different than you have, but of course I’m probably just one of those imbicels you were talking about and so are the researchers. BTW you were pretty confident in your stance about the bible being a fable. I am curious, would you mind clarifying for me the three areas of evidence you have studied that are scholarly accepted for the evaluation of any work of antiquity? I’m sure such confidence comes from hours of lQQking at the evidence and you have to be familiar with these categories of evidence collected and categorized. Thanks ahead.

      LILA, hate to say it (no, I really don’t) but you are the one lacking in the brain cell department. The only thing being pushed down anyone’s throat is the gay agenda. (No pun intended) This tiny percent of the population is looking to be put on a pedestal and declared how special they are. What part of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are being denied them? Gay amrriage appears to be merely another attack by the left on religion, rather than a supposed denial of rights. I had a friend where I worked who was VERY gay, he sometimes came to work with rouge and eyeliner from the night before. He was also very conservative. He was vehemently against gay marriage.
      As with most liberals you are very ignorant of religion and science. Do you really think that people who believe in God don’t read science books? Man is a very inquisitive species. If we believe in a Creator it does not mean that we are not curious as to how everything that was created works, both the interdependence of living organisms and the physical laws of nature.
      Are there the ignorant among believers? Of course there are. I’ve worked in some of the most backward areas of this country.

      Unfortunately, that boycott list gets longer and longer. Business, by and large, swings to the Left, but mainly swings to make a profit. If appealing to the gay customer will increase profits, then a JC Penney and a Target will do whatever it takes to get them in the store. The sad part is, most gays would shop there anyway. They buy stuff like everyone else. Appealing to the radical gays keeps them off their backs and they can show how tolerant they are. What they don’t realize, but might moreso after the incredible outpouring of support for Chick fil A, is they turn OFF more people than they are going to gain by pandering. Only time will tell.

      Let’s talk about sanity VERCIE shall we?
      Less than 2% of the population comprises over 61% of new cases of HIV in this country each year.
      Yet you liberal offal cannot abide anyone saying there’s something aberrant about homosexuality. So let me get this clear..less than 2% of the population makes up over 61% of new cases of HIVeach year but you want us all to believe that’s “normal” and we should look away.
      This is how you define sanity yes?

    Shep is just a typical liberal. He has his little show and that’s all. National day of intolerance??? We are not intolerant. We don’t care what people do in the privacy of their home or bedroom. Don’t show me or force feed me your crap. What homosexuals do is their choice. If it were up to me, I’d give them two islands with all the food and water they need and in about 80 years, we wouldn’t have a problem… This is our day of honoring people who stand up for christian values and as you can see it is getting to them… Happy chik fil a appreciation day, Shep…

      You would like to put gay people on an island so it would end the “problem”? Just where exactly do you think homosexuals are coming from? Most of the gay folks I know have a straight mother and father, hopefully you won’t have a gay son that has to grow up in your unloving household.

      Homosexuals come from recruiters like Sandusky. They are constantly looking for kids that wonder away from their parents. Usually schools and youth groups.

      yuengling – “Gay” means happy. We are taking that word back! Homosexuality is a choice, just as smoking and drinking are choices.. I have my own fetishes that I like, but to have another man touch me – well lets just say that wont happen.

      I use the two island analogy to make the reader visualize how homosexuality is not normal! Yes people can choose to be homosexual or straight. And as new people come into this world they too will choose. But the ones on the island, their fate is sealed.

      I remember watching the news segment where a reporter was interviewing a gay activist. The reporter asked her how many partners shes had sex with. Interestingly enough she said “Well thats none of your business” to which he responded “precisely”. What I took from the reporters comment is that a persons sexual preference is no bodys business so what is all this about special rights? Polygomist dont go around asking for special rights because of their sexual preference, and heterosexuals dont go around telling people that they are heterosexual. or how many people theve had sex with. Well some do, but its only for bragging rights. Sexual preference is no bodies business and should remain so. In addition most christians I know, me included, do not hate gay people. Really we do not hate gay people. As Jesus did, he loved the person but hated and did not condone the sin. I do not condone infidility, polygomay,prostitution etc…and I do not condone same sex marriages, however, as much as I hate the sin I willl always love the person, unless they are rotten to the core and throw rocks at me , The written word of the lord does not condone same sex marriages and I submit to gods will. To ignore my god just to appease someone elses beliefs is a violation of my civil rights religous beliefs.

    Leave Shep alone.

    His left-leaning quips are vital to Fox.

    Obviously, some on the left do consider opposition to gay-marriage to be a form of “intolerance.”

    In some respects it is and in some respects it isn’t.

    On the back of the successful show of Chick fil A solidarity, let’s not try to segway into a “Ban Shepard Smith from Fox because he is a liberal” BS.

Just have no use for any of the MSM. We all know that supporting Chick Fil A has nothing to do with intolerance, just acceptance of a company with Christian Values. And all the other comments about boycotting other companies? Get over it already. That’s what the liberals and left do. WE support diversity; THEY hate diversity.

      It gets a little more dicey as a supposed “journalist” when expressing an opinion. It’s not so much OK with them. Remember the guy that got fired for saying, in regard to that phenom B-Ball player ealrier this year – something about a “***** in the amour” – He got canned. The left jumped all over that even though the quote is an old adage that has nothing to do with Asians.

      eh, it is an opinion show. Those that watch FNC know Shep for what he is. I actually kind of like him, he is socially liberal but that is not the worst thing in the world. I can agree to disagree with him and I find him amusing.

      FNC is as far from real journalism as MSNBC or The Blaze. There are shows I cannot watch so I understand those with a total aversion to Shep or Oreilly. That is cool…Don’t watch. I couldnt tolerate Chris Matthews. But I couldn’t care less if he has a show. If people enjoy watching then great. Same with Shep.
