Sheppard Smith Racist?

Is shep­pard smith a racist?

In an inter­view on nation­al TV, shep­pard smith alleged­ly was rude and insen­sative, to a black man, but why did he act the way that he did was there some rea­son behind that behav­ior?  The sto­ry was about how inva­sive the depart­ment of fam­i­ly and chil­dren ser­vices, can be when they thought that a woman was using drugs dur­ing preg­nan­cy.

How­ev­er, at some point the woman was com­pelled to do a drug test and that in itself was the sto­ry yet Shep Smith seemed to not under­stand what the sto­ry was about. 

There is a con­si­tu­tion­al issue here, a woman was forced to tes­ti­fy against her will, the test was faulty, as a result the state took her child away from her, and she lost some­thing more valu­able than you can imag­ine, time, they took 75 days away from this woman.

the Supreme Court ruled that the Fourth Amend­ment applies to the states by
way of the Due Process Clause of the Four­teenth Amend­ment.

The fifth amend­ment,
“nor shall be com­pelled in any crim­i­nal case to be a wit­ness against him­self, nor be
deprived of life, lib­er­ty, or prop­er­ty, with­out due process of law;”

This woman was alleged­ly unfair­ly treat­ed and alleged­ly was forced to tes­ti­fy against her­self, that is a vio­la­tion of the con­sti­tu­tion.

But appar­ent­ly that was not of inter­est to Shep­ard Smith, why was he alleged­ly act­ing so alleged­ly bad­ly?

The sto­ry was that the Young lady was accused of doing drugs dur­ing preg­nan­cy, because her child had a seizure now this begs the ques­tion, why was the moth­er auto­mat­i­cal­ly sus­pect­ed of doing drugs, because alleged­ly it is not uncom­mon for a child to have a seizure, though it is a dis­turb­ing thing to see, it can hap­pen and not be the result of any kind of drug use by the moth­er.

Shep­pard Smith approached the sto­ry, being very skep­ti­cal, he called it “the pop­py defence” but what prob­a­ble cause actu­al­ly exist­ed at the time this woman was com­pelled to tes­ti­fy against her­self?

Why did shep­pard smith act the way he did toward the wom­ans attor­ney?

Shep­pard Smith asked a ques­tion that was unfair (alleged­ly) and it was a ques­tion that was impos­si­ble to answer.

He asked, was the woman still sus­pect­ed of doing drugs?

Since he was ask­ing her attor­ney, a ques­tion that only the state could answer, it was not pos­si­ble for her attor­ney to answer what was in the mind or men­ta­tion of the DFCAS, so again, why did Shep­pard Smith act so rud­ly, would he have treat­ed a white attor­ney the same way as he treat­ed the black man?  We may nev­er know the answer to that ques­tion, but it is a prob­lem because Fox news con­tin­ues to gen­er­ate news that is less than fair and less than bal­lanced, yet they claim to be fair and bal­lanced.

Fair and Bal­lanced, are more than just words, they are the pil­lars, of the foun­da­tion of our way of life.

Fair­ness, is what caused this nation to be born, Bal­lance, is what jus­tice is all about but when you have a media com­pa­ny that bends the pre­sen­ta­tion of facts to suit what ever opin­ion they might have at the time, (alleged­ly) it can be a real issue because we need real news, not opin­ion, with­out fact, that can be had any­where at any price.

I hope that fox news gets its col­lec­tive act togeth­er soon because they are one side of a com­plex media puz­zle, there is a prob­lem with one sided cov­er­age, and that may be why some­times it may seem as if Fox news, goes a lit­tle over board on its cov­er­age, (alleged­ly)

How­ev­er, that is real­ly not the entire sto­ry here.
