Fox News' Shepard Smith was having some trouble with a "fill-in director" during yesterday's broadcast of his show "The Fox Report." A clearly irritated Smith was trying to give directions to his substitute director during a report by Major Garrett that kept interrupting his broadcast. Garrett laughed it off, telling Smith, "I'll take floor direction from you anytime, anyplace. You know that."

What happened to Shep today (7/9/09). Was looking in at end of afternoon show, and Shep was clearly unhappy about something. Then he was not present for The Fox Report. Is something going on at Faux News?

The HP is so desperate to discredit FOX, they post this as if it denotes some sort of falling out between Shepard Smith and the network. This is a piece of non news and happens all the time on television on all networks.

Short-tempered meanie. I feel sorry for the poor guy who probably just made an innocent mistake.

I just got a new kitten and was going to name him Rupert...until someone blew it for me and asked me if it was for Murdoch...What a waste of a perfectly aristocratic name! ARGH! Now I gotta come up with another name...any suggestions? The Fox news channel is famous for losing their cool...and that's assuming they had any cool to begin with!

No their (sic) number one because 1% of American right wing sheep need to be told how to think. The other 297 million of us are doing just finr.

They are number 1 because the 20% of the populace who think along the lines they promote all watch the same station. The other 80% of the American population have hundreds of channels to chose from. And it's "they're, not their.

Oh brother, huffpo. You're often brilliant, but sometimes just lame. This non-story falls into the latter category.

This is just normal behavior from the FOX channel ............Every one of them, interrupt their guest speakers,
they talk over them, they talk at the same time, they are rude, and obnoxious, they never let the person
talking speak, and they always have to have the last word, and it is always some rude obnoxious comment , as IF the show is all about them and what they think. This is not a news channel.

If you think that is irrate behavior you must be one of the 10,000 people that got the s.s stimulus check 6 feet under

BECAUSE Shep Smith is the closes thing Fix News have to being fair and balance, NOTICE is ratings are in the crapper! Why is this? The crazier your ideas and theories are, especially towards this president administration, the more wing nuts gravitate to it!

Folks, this is FOX we're talking about. Before we all get behind Mr. Smith, let's remember where he works. He just may be wearing sheep's clothing. There could be something planned for him....as soon as he gets the faith of progressives. I may be talking through my hat, but I think before we anoint him the next coming of Alan Colmes (who didn't really have much of a spine), let's give him time to show his true colors, whatever they may be.

Despite the fact I abhor Fox "News", I've always liked Shepard Smith.

I've actually seen him do something similar when a tape didn't run properly. He never lost his cool, a sign of a good news anchor. I worked in TV news many years ago, and many people lose their cool almost instantly when something goes wrong. It's nice to see someone with a cool head once in a while.

Compare this with O'Reilly's "we'll do it live" temper tantrum.

The O'Reilly "we'll do it live" video wasn't even on Fox News and that was fantastic anyways. It made me like Bill even more.

Maybe if O'Really broke furniture and went postal, you would have liked him more?

Me, too. I can't go a day without watching O'Reilly....unless, of course, I want to keep my food down.
