To shell out $7 million for veteran slugger
Apparently fearing competition from YES, Fox News resigned DH Shep Smith for $7 million, vaulting the talk-for-pay cable righty into the upper strata of journo superanchors.
.
He's still a couple Bob Schieffers away from banking Katie Couric-level gravy, ($15 mill per year), and God knows how much Disney Dollars get raked by Barbie "The Wallman" Walters, but it sure is s a hopeful sign! Some comparisons:

Jason Giambi, $23 mill

They're not paying Shep enough. The way Roger Ailes manages, they're going to send him out there every day until his mouth falls off.
I just feel so much safer when he reads the news.
Ailes has no choice. Shep is their only bridge to O'Reilly.
Letting Rita Cosby go in 2005 left them just too thin in the middle innings.
And Lou Dobbs is going to be very angry when he reads this blog.
Alphonso says;
Why does Shep look like he just got sprung from a POW camp in Iraq?
Is that his Smoking Gun mug shot?
Yep. Now he's got money enough to buy the Smoking Gun.
