I think this is WONDERFUL
I think what Shepherd Smith said on Friday that HE thought the President of the United States had some responsibility of this bomb stuff was TERRIBLE…
Also for his comments to a well respected journalist was not called for.
I think he should be told that Meghan Kelly”s position is open for him to apply…..or…give him a reprimand of one week NOT ON AIR………….AND NO PAY
Sorry about the way you handled the debate Christ Wallace . I always thought you were different , from the rest of the rest of the news people ,in your business , but I guess not !
