Shep Smith has for years hosted Studio B for Fox News Channel and has developed a reputation for being the voice of reason on the "Flare and Ballast" network. He's finally gone too far, now, by echoing socialists and communists everywhere by bringing facts into the equation in his commentary- a mortal sin in the eyes of good Tea Partiers everywhere.

As Smith said, the bill in Wisconsin that removes the rights to collective bargaining is a union-busting sham hidden behind the weak and disprovable strawman of a budget crisis.
The budget deficit in Wisconsin was created by Governor Scott Walker's tax cuts for the rich, and the deficit could be repaired with their removal. What's more, Walker has declined any attempt at compromise- anything less than a complete elimination of bargaining rights, he says, won't make him a "budget-balancer". This is good reporting, and this is my ideal for CNN reporting. This, to borrow Mr. O'Reilly's phrase, seemed like a "no-spin zone".
However, as all good Teabagger Republicans know, balance and fairness are only abstract concepts that ought only to have a spot in network sloganeering. The report and its speaker have no right to such a level of rank factual information. There wasn't a single talking point in Mr. Smith's "journalistic" screed. It was liberal media bias- because it didn't have any conservative misinformation. Anything Scott Walker could do must be right! After all, he took money from Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks, and David and Charles Koch, and anyone who recieves Koch money must always be in the right, as they are on the right. Shep didn't follow blindly the shouting of his content-masters Glenn, Sean and Roger! The Fox News messaging machine has had a wrench thrown in it by this factual correctness, this objectivity, this... this arrogant unbiasedness! It's time for Roger Ailes and the rest of Fox News to fire back!
Shep Smith must be fired! He has betrayed the sacred trust of his network by telling the truth, the complete truth and nothing but the truth, for we all know that he's expected to regurgitate the talking points and nought but the talking points. This man cannot stand in the hallowed journalistic halls of such news gods as Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Mike Huckabee! He must be cast out, to the lowest dredges of cable news, sent to CNN! There, on the Communist News Network, he can give his unbiased bias voice where no libertarian patriots will ever be indoctrinated by his factual information.
