Shepard Smith upped and quit at the end of his show today. Head of the news depatment for 24 years at Fox news. He was an anchor. Don't think he ran the place. On September 12, 2013, Smith and Fox News announced that, along with another multi-year renewal of his contract, his role in Fox News would shift. He would become the managing editor of Fox News' new breaking news division and the host of Shepard Smith Reporting. Both Studio B and The Fox Report were phased out, and in October 2013 Shepard Smith Reporting began airing in the 3 p.m. ET time slot. |

Nor I.
But then, I don't get FOX. Or CNN. Or CNBC. Or Petticoat Junction. Or Green Acres.

Shepard Smith is a straight-shooting journalist who never bought into the kneejerk pro-Trump propaganda that dominates the opinion side of the network, and spills into the news side on a regular basis.
Trump defenders here no doubt will react to my characterization by saying the same thing in reverse happens on MSNBC and CNN, but I'm not talking about them here.

I suspect the straw that broke his back was when the opinion side shredded Judge Napolitano, the network's longtime conservative-leaning legal analyst, for saying Trump has committed impeachable offenses. They don't like to hear that kind of thing from one of their own over there. (They also mocked Smith himself when Smith defended Napolitano against one of opinion-meister Tucker Carlson's guests who called Napolitano "a fool.")

Yes, I watch Fox. Wonder how many Trumpites here watch CNN and MSNBC.

Not really. I've always been able to think for myself. The media is just noise. |

"Shepard Smith" sounds just like "Shepherd's Myth".
