Shepard Smith: Honey Boo Boo More Truthful Than Obama Administration

During the 8/7/13 edition of his program, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, not known as any sort of conservative, attacked the government for being dishonest and witholding critical information from Americans while at the same time also undertaking highly invasive surveillance programs.

“I don’t believe much of anything they say anymore. Because I can’t figure out which parts to believe, so I choose not to believe any of it,” Smith said in an interview with Fox News legal analyst Mercedes Colwin.

Smith was keying off of a criticism that Colwin had made of the Obama Administration’s refusal to release publicly the charges that have been made against suspects in the 2012 attack on a U.S. building in Benghazi, Libya. According to Colwin, there was no good reason not to release this information. Doing so could even help the investigation, she asserted.

The Fox anchor drew a contrast between the government’s refusal to let the public know about the charges with its simultaneous desire to know as much as possible about the public’s personal activities.
