I know it is a pipe dream, but I would like to see him on Hannity. I don't watch Fox, but I would watch that.

Shep doesn't want to go and FOX doesn't want him to either...

They keep him around so they can point and say "See?! We have real journalists"

He boils things down to what matters, stated with extreme clarity.

He is a national treasure.

The young scientist at MIT Feng Zhang, Terry Tao, the ladies who make my crazy ex-girlfriend, Obama, Jake Tapper, America has many national treasures and we need to call them what they are so people appreciate how lucky we are to have them.

But first you visited the New York stock exchange and then told the press: “I joined da wrong mob!”

If he's sane, why does he stay there and why do they let him stay there?

Maybe he stays because he hopes to de-program some Fox viewers.
Maybe Fox keeps him as a fig leaf, "fair and balanced because we have libtard Shep!". (I don't know if he's actually a liberal, but Fox News zombies would certainly think so because he's gay, and he does some decent reporting.)

He constantly strays from the Faux message and he is also gay. You would think he would have been fired years ago.

I bet he and Lumpy, aka Hannity, do not hang together.

His placement reminds them that the evil liberal media is around every corner.

A while back I watched a good amount of Shep. No clue what his politics are. He tried to have good interviews and when they weren’t he would call out the absurdity and have fun.
