a regular talking head now and no longer with the baggage of fox

almost as if he is undercover for Rupert

I do NOT think any Fox person should be rewarded elsewhere.

They are liars and cheats and have misinformed the public for a decade or two now and should never have another job in the industry.

Bettter yet, MSNBC should resurect Dan Rather, who had 100% truthful info and the smear took him down.
(Of course MSNBC is owned and operated by the same corporationmindset of the others and would never hire Dan back. MSNBC is not the station you think- yes, there are SOME who are great people (like Al Sharpton and Rachel)

however, remember folks, Morning Joe's Joe is one of the biggest Bushies out there.And Andrea Mitchell is a neo-con's best friend and remember who she is married to).

Thanks but no thanks. We don't want Shep on our team. Let him and the others rot in tv hell forever.(That goes for Chris Wallace too). I am sure Rupe can afford severence pay to them losers.

If they paid him crap, he would've left them a long time ago.

They had to give him something approaching decent so that they can continue the charade of a fair and balanced show called Hannity & Colmes.
