LOCKED - Sheppard Smith is a moron. Carry on

[blacklistedbully]

Dude is such a typical Ole Miss douche. Listening to his coverage of Notre Dame burning is grating. He invites a guy on scene to offer commentary. Guy tried to tell Shep there have been a spate of recent attacks on Catholic churches, including ND, and Shep jumps in to interrupt, acting like he is some kind of media hero for not allowing speculation. "Not on my watch!" he says.

Fact is, there have been multiple reports this year of such attacks. Guy was simply trying to say we should consider the possibility. But, no sir..not on Shep's watch! Idiot.

Terrible tragedy. Hard to believe it took French authorities so long to respond.

Yeah, it's really not that speculative. You know that is what likely happened.

 

[VegasDawg13]

It is the textbook definition of speculative, actually.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

I believe the guy was an elected official and he said something to the effect “they will try to tell you it’s an accident but” and he was cut-off by Shep. Roll my eyes every time he says “it’s burning to the ground.” Typically a cathedral will only burn the center. Stone doesn’t burn. Granite doesn’t burn. Hundreds of pics of burned out cathedrals in WWII show that only the wooden center will burn. And now he comments that the fire is under control because it is diminished. The fire is diminished because it doesn’t have much else to burn.

 

[tbaydog]

Shep definitely has his own agenda.

And now shep is speculating that fire is spreading to bell towers because he see water being sprayed into it. The truth is that fire fighters are in bell towers spraying water OUT of the bell towers into the center naive of the cathedral.

 

[patdog]

Yeah, it's complete speculation. It's not like religious fanatics have ever tried to burn it down before. **

Seriously, why does anyone even watch Shepherd Smith? I've never seen him, but every single thing I've ever heard about him is that he's a complete moron.

The BBC live feed shows flames inside north bell tower about half way up.

The roofs of those things are generally lead supported by wood frames. Only the main pillars and support beams are stone. The wood will burn and the lead will melt.

What time does his show come on? I probably haven’t seen him live in over a decade. Then again I’m usually working, on the water or in the woods.

Hell the more I think about it I haven’t sat down and watched Foxnews in over a decade

Dan Mullen better get is *** back over there and put that fire out.

 

[RocketDawg]

The guy is definitely a total idiot, and I can't believe they pay him $20M+/yr. My opinion has nothing to do with him being an OM person. I just got in, turned to Fox, and couldn't stand listening to him. I turned to CNN.

It is a terrible loss for the world though ... was truly a spectacular structure. I suspect it more to do with the construction work rather than arson.

Vegas, just remember we are now living in the age where opinion and speculation are more revered than facts and definitions.

 

[Xenomorph]

Firefighter at the scene tells BBC all efforts are being made to prevent the collapse of the north tower. Next 1-2 hours are critical.

It is the textbook definition of speculative, actually.

Admitting I wasn't listening to Shep intently, (just came on as I was working at home), it seemed to me the witness being interviewed didn't specifically accuse anyone, or even say it was for sure arson. It sounded to me like he said something like, "government officials will tell you it was a construction site accident, but...". Shep could not wait to interrupt and demonstrate how, "professional he was going to be by not allowing speculation".

But it's not speculation unless the guy was going to say it was arson. If he was just going to point out arson was a possibility because there have literally been a number of attempts at arson, desecration, vandalism, etc. at Catholic churches in France since January, that is decidedly not speculation. It is a very plausible possibility and opinion backed by facts, not pure speculation. But Shep's shoddy journalism and posturing did not allow the guy to finish his sentence.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Hard to believe it took French authorities so long to respond.

Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill say

"You serious Clark?"

 

[dorndawg]

It's almost as though you prefer watching a network founded on baseless speculation and accusations, and seem FURIOUS when they don't give you that.

 

[blacklistedbully]

Vegas, just remember we are now living in the age where opinion and speculation are more revered than facts and definitions.

It is a fact that Catholic churches in France have been attacked multiple times since January, including arson. Shep didn't let the guy finish his sentence. If he was going to suggest arson as a consideration, that is not speculation due to the aforementioned previous attacks being factual.

 

[blacklistedbully]

Irony

Good one!

 

[T-TownDawgg]

That means you are speculating on what Shepherd Smith was speculating on what that guy might speculate.

**** I miss Edward R. Murrow

Your turn.

I'm not speculating Shep cut him off mid-sentence, nor am I speculating as to why Shep said he cut him off. I can only speculate as to what the guy might have been trying to say. But even that "speculation" is based somewhat on the knowledge that multiple Catholic churches have been under attack there recently, including arson. That makes it more of an, "educated guess" based on at least some knowledge.

How was that?
