Juan Williams Fired

[DrPhil]

Shepard Smith of Fox News was on The View this morning. He brilliantly highlighted the distinction between personal opinion and journalism. He said "I don't get to have personal opinions. I'm a journalist."

They kept trying to get him to personally weigh in on everything but he cleverly did not do so. He is close to Juan Williams and works with him through Fox News and I feel his The View stance is a lesson to Williams and others who don't know what "First Amendment" and "political correctness" mean.

I really like and respect Shepard Smith. This is just one more feather in his cap.

I also like Shepard Smith.

As funnily in your face as Joy Behar tends to be, Smith was so unmoved that they couldn't get him to talk trash about anyone or anything.

Funny how that journalistic integrity works out for him. It's like... like his point was made without him ever even needing to say it.
