  • Shep Smith leaves Fox

    By far the most vocal critic of Trump over at Fox News has tendered his resignation effective immediately: https://www.apnews.com/6b9f26f305ba4846b35bd8aa165d9959

    The propaganda got to him. Fox is the ‘fake news’ network.

      Just purely as a point of personal annoyance: I hope this will reduce the incidences of people quoting him and saying, "Look, even Fox News is saying X!"

        I think Shepherd Smith is going to find that he will be about as popular outside of FOX News as Megyn Kelly was. He was somewhat of a novelty at FOX, but he'll be lost among the sea of anti-Trump talking heads anywhere else.

        But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
        Than a fool in the eyes of God

          Fox News also airs anti-trump thoughts from CNN and MSNBC, so you hear both sides of an issue.

            I dont think that quite counts. Or perhaps more to the point. CNN and MSNBC also air pro- Trump comments from fox, so by your approach, we should consider them giving both sides as well.
            My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

            If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

            This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

              They leave under fire or end up working for Trump if the warm their cheeks and tow the line.

                . . . with more than a touch of sarcasm, and without Shepherd Smith less.

                  I like Shepard Smith. But after 23 years, the guy can retire if he wants to.

                    Ever since I heard of an incident where he F-bombed a woman (and allegedly ran into her with his car) in the parking lot over a parking spot, and F-bombed a waitress in a bar for not refilling his drink quickly enough, and totally losing his cool on more than a few occasions - I was never a fan.
                    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      Well before the 2016 election I got tired of his habit of inserting editorial comments into news stories. When the news is on I want news not opinion. They already have a ton of opinion shows.

                        I think that has to do with his arrogance - he appeared to think his commentary was as important as the news.

                          He always struck me as an arrogant know-it-all.

                            Really, AFAICT it had reached the point where he was only a "novelty" by being the only gay person with a full-time hosting job. Or maybe by being the only opinion guy allowed to pretend he was a news guy.

                              Prediction: he goes full-on anti-Trump and gets a huge role on CNN or MSNBC, and everyone on the left will say: " Look, even Fox News hosts are turning on Trump."
