Fox News to Visit the Velvet Ditch



Holly Springs, Mississippi native Shepard Smith is always fair and balanced.

The Fox News Network is coming to Oxford on Monday and Tuesday, March 10th and 11th, to broadcast its Studio B live at 2 p.m. and The Fox Report at 6 p.m. each day. Anchor Shep Smith, who is from Holly Springs and lacks only a few hours in getting a UM broadcast journalism degree, is covering the Mississippi primary and has asked for a crowd to appear on the broadcasts with him.

If you are in Oxford, or are able to go, and want to participate in this exciting event, be on the Square in front of City Hall 30 minutes prior to the broadcasts. Even if you cannot be there, be sure to tune-in and watch Shepard Smith reporting live from Oxford on Monday and Tuesday.

The Fox Report with Shepard Smith remains the top-rated newscast in cable news and is ranked third in the top programs in cable news. Smith is currently the longest-running news anchor for an evening broadcast of this format and style on both cable and the big three network news. Smith was voted the second most trusted news anchor by the readers of TV Guide."

He has also been known to say "hotty toddy" and "go Rebs" on air.

That's what we affectionately call Oxford. It's so cool that you stay there after you graduate (or don't), and work in a cool restaurant, and then you wake up one day and realize that you're 30 and you still wait tables in a cool restaurant ... The Velvet Ditch.

Obama or McCain? You Decide.

Barack Obama is the only candidate that has been successful at reaching across party lines in the presidential election. I as well have not had much to say on The Dirt. It is unfortunate that I no longer consider myself in tune with life in the Delta and can no longer comment as such. My free time (what little of it I have) has also been dedicated to following both the presidential election and American Idol like a hawk. That having been said, I am not afraid to admit that my name is on Amy's list of previously sane people who are seriously considering Obama in November. Now, my consideration depends on a lot of future events to fall into place. First and foremost, Obama will have to beat Hillary for the Democratic nomination. If that were to happen, my pick between Obama and McCain would also depend on who each picks for their veep candidate. As a self-proclaimed independent, I find myself torn between these two candidates and refuse to make a blind decision based on what ce...

Editorial: As Predicted, McCain Falls in the Polls

This two-minute campaign ad clearly states Barack Obama's plan to reenergize our economy. Thank God someone is addressing this issue. In an opinion editorial previously published this week, I predicted that the roller coaster ride the economy has been on this week would cause Republican presidential candidate John McCain to fall in the polls. "My prediction: By the end of the week, McCain's stance on the economy will cause his Palin bump in the polls to all but disappear." According to Real Clear Politics , "one of America’s premier independent political web sites," my prediction came true. Currently, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is ahead in the polls by 1.9% , approximately the level by which he was ahead leading into the Democratic and Republican conventions. The Palin bump that McCain joined is now completely gone. This reversal of fortune is due, in part, to Obama's strength on the issue of the economy and the popularity of his e...
