Sat Oct 30 2010I don't like him because his voice is not pleasant, and he is constantly making errors in his reporting. Plus he is arrogant and no one really cares for his emotional tirades, points of view.

Wed Mar 31 2010I like Shepard Smith, there is nothing wrong with his news reporting. He said when he started he was just going to report new as it is he did not want to get in to the politics of any news that he was reporting

Wed Mar 31 2010Probably the only unbiased anchor at the FOX News Channel. My guess is that he won't be there for long. His Hurricane Katrina coverage is excellent and he is not afraid to call out his nutty co-workers.

Mon Nov 17 2008I do not watch his 2 programs any longer, nor does anyone else I know that watches FNC. He is so arrogant, outrageously liberal, (making snide off the cuff remarks about Bush like we're too stupid to get it). He is constantly tripping over his own words, making too many errors. The way he asks his guest questions---"So don't you think Bush will go down as the worst President ever?" This is fair and balanced? This is journalism? AND the most obnoxious aspect, Shep thinks he is an expert on EVERYTHING, from music, movies, food, vacations, sports, finance, politics, etc. NOT!!! And he lives in a house on Long Island with Rick Rosenthal???? Kinda weird for a multimillionaire in his 40's that portends to be straight. He needs a stylist as his clothing is shockingly bad!! Purple and orange striped suits??? And his constant blabbing about Ole Miss, like it's the only school in the country. YIKES!!

Wed Nov 05 2008I've been watching Shepard Smith for six years, and last night he is the reason I will boycott Fox News. Last night after the election, he said, "If you're a conservative, and you're angry - get over yourself." He needs to get over himself! Must be nice to be an overpaid news anchor that can afford to give away most of his money to the government to share with the "lazy" class since he'll still have more than most of us will ever achieve.

Thu Jan 18 2007He says "now you know the news" after reporting 2 or 3 stories! Doesn't he realize what he's saying?

Tue Jan 24 2006Shep tends to be a tad melodramatic at times and I don't care for that. He is reading the news and keep it at that.

Wed Dec 28 2005Has a blank, vapid look. Too much botox perhaps? Outside of that, I think he comes off as a nice person. His Katrina coverage impressed me.

Sun Dec 18 2005Did a very competent job reporting on the Katrina disaster and other recent important international news stories. Further, not only can he improvise on the spot, he's actually got a natural sense of humor, as seemingly he's at ease in his own skin. He loses a star, however, for frequently labeling Al Qaeda or whoever's this weeks international threat (to the U.S.) "the bad guys." C'mon Shep, grade school kiddies are not your target audiance, ok??

Sun Oct 16 2005Thew biggest asshole on TV! He can't even read the copy in front of him half the time.

Tue Sep 27 2005I think he's the greatest thing scense Elvis Presley!! I really think they might be related. I wonder if Shep knows that Elvis' mother was a Smith?

Mon Sep 05 2005I'd do him!

Mon Sep 05 2005I am not a fan of Fox News at ALL (Anderson Cooper is my hero) but I was watching him on Hannity & Colmes (sp?) the other night (with Geraldo Rivera crying) and I thought Smith did an excellent job of portraying just how hard this is on the journalists down there. I felt he was being really truthful and speaking from his heart. He certainly doesn't sugar coat anything & he's right to the point. Good stuff! I hope he quits Fox & comes over to the otherside and joins CNN!

Sun Sep 04 2005Mr. Smith was the best reporter through Katrina, be really touched my heart and so many others. HONESTLY I felt as if he was hurting with the rest of the victims. Why was all those people still left on the bridge, he had a good point!As he watched the hungry literally starve to death his heart was aching just like the rest of us. I was beginning to wonder what country we really lived in, because it sure in the Hell wasn't the USA DENKSTER FROM ILLINOIS

Sat Sep 03 2005have been watching all day long since Monday, Fox's coverage of Katrina. I am taking this time to highly commend the on site reporting of Shepard Smith. To watch him every day stumbling at first, feeling out of place asking the survivors Are you OK, as they emerge from the 2 feet plus water filled with God knows what. Every day he grew. Every day you could see his professional struggle with object, unbiased reporting. But as each day past, and what Shepard Smith thought should be happening for the survivors on the elevated highway, the convention center and the Stadium - he petitioned over and over to the 'Forces in supposed Control/Power' through the cameras lens. He tried his best to stay professional but by Thursday and Friday the Horror of the Deluge had entered his will, mind, and spirit. Last night, Friday evening, I was glued to his every word, petition, and eyes watering with anger over the Horror and Inaction all about him. He short, curt responses to the Blowhards O'Reilly...

by torquemadaxiv
Mon Apr 04 2005Clueless primper, ill-informed, full of himself, illiterate and obnoxious. All blow-dry and no brains. Really one of the worst newscasters in history. Appeals to blue-hairs though.
by mchase
Fri Feb 25 2005Hip, cool, and fun to watch...if only he could find a way to get Ole' Miss to win a few more games.
by raynwynd
Wed Feb 02 2005Those who say they don't like him or he's wierd don't say why. How about some facts instead of opinion?

Wed Jan 19 2005Great flubs..cutie patootie..funny
by mariahguy
Sat Dec 04 2004I love Shep....I think he and Rick Folbaum would make such a cute couple!
by craven_moorehead
Thu Dec 02 2004His best moment on TV was the J-Lo bj flub! Otherwise he's just a no-talent himbo who's better served hosting the Miss America pageant.
by proudpatriot
Tue Oct 05 2004Lst time I checked, editorial and commentary are not synonomous with journalism. ANYONE who actually went to journalism school learned about this difference between opinion and fact in Journalism 101.

Fri Sep 24 2004Shepard is still one of the best on TV. Showed his most emotional side when he did the Columbine High school tragedy coverage in 1999. Expressed his concerns fully. He shows a lot of enthusiasm when he comes on his 7 pm show, as if he's ready to do the news before anyone else. He still has that Mississippi drawl in his low speaking voice, given that that's where he's from. Rick Folbaum is riding on his tail on the network--I hope they don't cross faces at a New York bar and start a fight for jockeying for the top spot. Shep, as he likes to be called, is what makes that network click now.
by fluffytuffy
Mon Sep 13 2004Not all that, thinks he is however! Once 360 with Anderson Cooper came on, I completely forgot that Shep existed until I was surfing the channels during a commercial break one day recently. Not fair and balanced, altho probably a lot more honest than the other clowns at Fox News. I just don't have time for Republican sponsored TV.
by parcivale
Thu Aug 12 2004A complete jerk with no journalistic credibility at all. He treats the news of the day as though it were a circus.
by politicsrules
Fri Jul 30 2004Shepard Smith reports news accurately and thoughtfully. No spins, just fair and balanced reporting which just proves more that Fox News is fair and balanced. As a result, that makes Fox News Channel the most trusted name in news. Period.
by townlaw
Tue Jul 13 2004Short on intellect, pretty boy from old TV. Like anyone at Fox, he will never get a job anywhere that is not owned by Murdoch. No one in real news can afford to hire someone from a propaganda organization...he has shot his credibility except to the whackos..who are legions.
by slickwillie71
Thu Jun 03 2004I like Shepp. He is one of the few who Fair and Balanced actually holds true. His wit is solid and the interaction he has with the staff, particulary Skinnerville, shows he's a likeable sort. After Peter Jennings, he's probably the one anchor I would trust.
by diamonddavid
Mon May 24 2004Probably the most balanced of the Fox News broadcasters.
by marcm9999
Sun May 23 2004Enthusiastic and articulate.
by fncgal_1425
Sun May 16 2004I never really got into the news until I saw Shep on Studio B. Now I watch him every time he is on! He makes the news really fun!!!
by alpepper
Fri May 14 2004I like him. He can be a bellicose buzzard. But I found him a comfort after 9/11 the way he pit-bullishly went after sympathizers of reactionary Islamists. His show, The Point, was entertaining. Fair and Balanced.
by staffpoll
Fri May 07 2004Great guy, brings the news in an interesting way.
by seagrin
Thu Apr 29 2004i never watched the news until shep appeared with his war coverage great voice funny real and totally hot!
by truthdetector
Thu Apr 01 2004Star in the making. Shows a tilt to the right so I couldn't give him a 5.
by myopinion704
Wed Mar 31 2004I like Shep a lot, I think he's the best at what he does. He is not bias like other anchors that we all know.
by handy16f
Thu Mar 11 2004Shep is smart, entertaining, and funny. He does a great job. The hour goes fast because he does such a great job.
by tdubya71
Mon Mar 08 2004He's got a big ego since he's popular but he's still better than the Mole.
by brodie
Mon Feb 23 2004He is yummy!But Rick Falbaum is much yummier!
by tvtator
Fri Nov 28 2003Shepherd Smith like a lot of journalists on Fox News is an egomanic cold fish. Although I'd rather watch him than Brit Hume.
by classictvfan47
Fri Nov 28 2003One of the best reporters on air today. He's got a great sense of humor, as evidenced by the uproarious G-Block and other segments (such as Cool Critters and Shot of the Day). Good broadcast voice that is easy to understand and doesn't sound too realistic.
