FUCK YOU SHEPPARD SMITH
Interrupting then CUTTING OFF an elected French official who was pointing out that churches all over France had been being desecrated for months now
HE'S STILL RANTING ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORIES
GODDAMN YOU TO HELL SHEP SMITH
I FUCKING CAUGHT IT
I WOULD BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM RIGHT NOW IF I WAS IN THE SAME ROOM
WOULD SLAP HIM UNTIL HIS EYES BLED
AND I'M A WOMAN
AND TRUST ME I AIN'T SHOWING SHIT
FUCK THE RULES
ASK ME THAT AND YOU GET MY IRON SKILLET UPSIDE YOUR HEAD
GOOD LUCK SURVIVING
It's my grandmother's.
It's been seasoned since before the Great Depression.
I don't need a name stamped on my stuff.
OK I just damn transcribed EXACTLY what the French official said.
Love my DVR. So useful for nailing down exactly what was said and getting screencaps.
His name: Philippe Karsenty
No title; "French Elected Official"
Mr. Karsenty is in Paris right now.
Shep: "What have you seen, and what do you know?"
PK: "Well, I was close to the scene when it happened, and I left because we wanted to let people work around it. Everyone is really under shock now in France. I would tell you something right now. Even if nobody died, this is like a 9/11. The French 9/11, you know? And it's a big shock, I mean, this church was there for more than 850 years. Even the Nazis didn't dare to destroy it. I need you to know that for the past year, we had churches desecrated each and every week in France. All over France. So of course you will hear the story, the politically correct, will probably tell you that it's probably an accident."
Shep: "Sir, sir, sir we're not going to speculate here of the cause of something which we don't know. If you have observations or you know something, we would love to hear it.
PK: "I'm just telling you something what we need to be ready to…"
Shep: "No sir, we're not doing that here. Not now. Not on my watch. Philippe Karsenty, it's very good of you to be here. (cuts off call) We're watching the at least partial destruction of a world icon. Notre Dame Cathedral has been burning for at least two and a half hours. The initial reports we got were, the fire started in a construction zone in the rear. We are thousands of miles away. And a man on the phone with us has absolutely no information of any kind about the origin of this fire. And neither do I. And the fire investigators will at some point come to a determination about what caused this and conspiracy theories about anything are worthless, and in many cases counterproductive and injurious to society and those who entertain them are not acting in the best interests of the people of this planet."
Holy shit. Look who Philippe Karsenty is!

Philippe Karsenty (born June 25, 1966) is a French media analyst and the founder of Media-Ratings, a company monitoring the French media for bias. Karsenty came to widespread public attention when he was sued for libel by the French television network, France 2, over accusations of staged footage by France 2 over the killing of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, Muhammad al-Durrah, libel for which he was eventually and definitively convicted.
Thank you for adding the details of Mr. Karsenty's case.
God bless him for causing Shep Smith to wet his bikini underwear.
