Murdoch is part of the open borders crowd. No doubt shep smith was told to softpedal it to counteract the actual reporting being done by Megyn Kelly and others. Smith has a history of backstabbing conservatives anyway.
If Smith wanted to present actual facts instead of administration talking points, he might have noted that the first ebola case came from an african who was allowed to travel here from an infected area. And that the same man exposed dozens of people, maybe more. That the hospital, as most hospitals will be, was totally unprepared to care for him and tragically exposed health care workers to ebola. So far two have contracted it, and it has a death rate of 70% or more.
The "scare talk" on the radio, etc that he wants people to ignore largely concerns the fact that Obama has done nothing to limit travel from affected areas even after actual infections resulting from such travel. This follows on obama's letting in tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from latin america and dispersing them across the country secretly, which was closely followed by multiple outbreaks of the mystery virus which is common in the areas they came from. Children have been paralyzed from it, but Shep Smith wants you to ignore any talk of risks and chalk it up to irresponsible political attacks.
Shep Smith has lost all remaining credibility with me. He should be fired. He is a disgrace to Fox News.
