Pretty sure the idea of the remote was to allow Shep Smith to control the feeds and have more control of the final output.

"That's a Palestinian woman having a beef with an Israeli soldier"

'allow Smith to 'call it as he sees it''.

"The Dow is down 134. Oh well..."

Yeah, I'm just not sold on that aspect at all.


I actually really liked Shep's final line there. The manner in which he said "Oh well" seemed to be his way of expressing the frustration at the current Government shutdown and the impact it is having on everyday people.

I've never been a big fan of his presenting style, but he does seem a heck of a lot more connected, more "with it" and less crazy than the rest of Fox's line-up *cough* Hannity *cough*

The lighting is terrible actually, noggin's completely spot on on that one, but I suppose if you want the presenter to freely roam a 'news deck' as he sees fit you're going to have to blat the whole thing with soft light. Surprised to not see some of those massive space lights (that look like floating white dustbins) overhead.

You may find it interesting that the idea of a host walking over to reporters who are in-shot the whole time and asking them to introduce their story was (seriously) proposed 8 years ago at a workshop I attended. Seasoned journalistic and technical staff all laughed it off as completely ridiculous. The idea isn't very far away from this Fox design at all.


I think both 5 News and prior to that City TV in Toronto were doing something similar long before then.

Quite right too and both 5 News and City Pulse did it much better. Those screens are hilarious.
