Why is Shepard Smith the only somewhat balanced news Anchor on Fox?

The lefty posters who would agree with you don't watch FOX news or Shepard Smith, and posters who watch FOX news know Shepard Smith and that this isn't a serious opinion or thread

Really?

Wow. Shep, balanced. I'm starting to think you just like to poke the beehive.

Wallace is the most balanced in the game.

you asked a baiting question. this wasn't about you asking others about a network you don't follow.

They are all balanced. It's just mentally disturbed liberals find Fox news not balanced. It's very simple.

Sure. Fox news is balanced. It's the mentally disturbed liberals that think they are not balanced.

Shepherd Smith has always been a bit to the left. Also, he's in that time slot because that's what he wanted. He was given huge control over news coverage and breaking news coverage. There was a story about that a while back. He had dinner with Ailes and they worked all that shit out to keep him.

Anyone watching TV is a jerk off other than live sporting events or horse racing

It's all lies depending what party you support

Try doing a little research Pauly. Took me about 10 seconds to find this: http://www.businessinsider.com/roger...w-show-2013-10

Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes sent a memo Thursday to producers, shows, talent and executives involved in executing a new vision led by Shepard Smith — one that makes him the face of a new, breaking-news division.
Ailes' memo, which was obtained by Business Insider, comes four days before the launch of the Ailes system, which he created as the newly established breaking-news division led by Smith.
Smith told Business Insider last month that the idea was first hatched during a dinner between Smith and Ailes in Manhattan four months ago.
Smith's new role is part of a push from the network to modernize the way news is presented by "escaping the boundaries of the traditional evening newscast." Smith will be the managing editor of the breaking-news division, while continuing in his position as Chief News Anchor.
He'll continue anchoring the 3 p.m. hour on the network, in a program called "Shepard Smith Reporting." He'll anchor from "The Fox News Deck," a newly constructed, signature studio with state-of-the-art technology. From there, Smith will hop in to deliver breaking news throughout the day as it happens.
"The talent will be more like an NFL quarterback with the ability to call audibles when he sees openings," Ailes wrote in the memo. "We will move seamlessly between the teleprompter and storytelling, and the public will have an opportunity to see how the news is being put together and how the programs are built."
Here's the full memo from Ailes:
"As we approach our 17th anniversary at FOX News, we are beginning to dramatically change the way news is presented to the public. This has been a vision of mine for several years. I always felt that the most powerful means of communications (video) was restricted to a tape mark, a teleprompter, a talent reading and a control room. That should not be true today.
The NEWS DECK STUDIO which I envisioned has been pretty much completed and Monday starting with Shep’s 3pm program, news will be integrated throughout the evening. Shep and I are both excited about this new approach. Control of the program will be split between the studio and an off-camera control room. The producer’s function and director’s function will change somewhat.
The talent will be more like an NFL quarterback with the ability to call audibles when he sees openings. We will move seamlessly between the teleprompter and storytelling, and the public will have an opportunity to see how the news is being put together and how the programs are built. This will be more organic in terms of the feed sources including video, all digital, and even social media.
I expect there to be a few mistakes along the way because this is a high wire act without a net going live to the public. Any mistakes, however, will not justify changing the need for a special talent presenting the news and using the most updated technology to inform our public.
I know everyone has worked hard to get ready for the October 7th launch. I expect the innovations I’ve envisioned to be a cutting edge news presentation and I have confidence in all of you to deliver it. If something goes wrong, don’t be afraid to let the audience in on what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Don’t apologize for trying to speed up how, when, and where people get their news. Do your best. Thank you for everything you’ve done so far."

It was just the women that didn't get what they wanted for their careers. To the ones who are doing well it's just workplace flirting. Pretty much how it is at any other place of business in the USA comprised of heterosexual males and females.

I think Bill Orielly was open minded and kept an even playing field.. He called a spade a spade... Unfortunately the Left and liberal news media ran him out of job before he was even guilty and convicted of anything..

Sponsors ran and Fox had no choice but to let Billy go.. They tried to the same with Trump but it didn't stick..
