Fox News anchor Shepard Smith took a swipe at President Donald Trump and his assertion that the news media frequently under reports radical Islamic terror attacks.
Smith, a critic of the president, listed several terror attacks that were on the White House’s list of the attacks it believes weren’t reported properly and said that Fox News covered them extensively.
“The president’s assertion is false. The White House knows that it was false or could have known that it was false with a quick Google check, but either did not do so or decided not to tell the truth,” he said.
Smith brought on Wall Street Journal associate editor John Bussey to help deride the president and took another shot at President Trump before he handed the attack to his guest.
“What they’re saying is not true … Again … Why bother?” he said.

Smith often angers his Fox News audience with his contempt for the president.
In July, Smith drew the ire of Fox News fans when he scolded former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal for saying “all lives matter.” Fans were so angry that they called for his firing in droves on social media.
After a presidential debate with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in October, Smith suggested that then candidate Trump was a fascist because he said he’d have his attorney general investigate Clinton’s use of a private email server.
Some of his other greatest hits include comparing Christians that supported County Clerk Kim Davis not issuing gay marriage licenses to supporters of Sharia law and his fervent defense of Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server.
Smith didn’t pull any critics to his side with his newest rant.

They are, however, representative of the political views of the Murdoch boys who currently run the network.
A lot of us would love to see Shep gone.
I never cared for Smith, Williams or Bechel from the get go, particularly Smith.
Boycott his fake news hour, and let the advertisers know why!
I have never been a fan of Bob Bechel until I learned that he went to rehab and accepted Christ. He’s just released a book on his turn-around, nothing political. Watching him on The Five, shows me he’s made some changes. Certainly he’s a huge relief from Juan Williams.
I would NEVER watch Sheppie anymore...he is a total leftie liar! Wouldn’t trust him to tell me the right time of day.
Shep used to be able to maintain a semblance of control - as he looks more soul sick he has become even more of a tool than Alan Colmes...
As long as you keep watching him they will not dump him.
Every time you watch and complain they get publicity,they love it.
Don’t watch the guy
I fail to see how a committed left winger (Progressive) can be a true Christian or Jew.
I agree, Juan Williams hasn’t got two synapses to rub together. I’ve never heard anything intelligent come from his mouth. Shepard Smith has mental problems. Beckel is so predictable he could just phone it in. Geraldo is pretty incoherent. Its hard for me to understand why these people are still employed.
The Whitehouse said there was not “adequate” coverage of the events on the list. They did not name names or name networks. And any court would see the discussion as an OPINION, rather than a statement of fact.
Why are some networks over-reacting?
Tucker has become one of my favorites at Fox.
No tears will shed in our household.
So GOOGLE is now the gold standard of the truth? I assume that while searching for facts, that the top results are propaganda or outright incorrect.
Even so, let it be done...
But Shep is such a delicate and tender snowflake. BTW Whatever happened to the Kelly files? \SARC
I thought they should have fired him after his histrionic theatrics covering Katrina.
He has only gotten worse. I refuse to watch him.
His pillow-biting is annoying.
Whorealdo looks like a comic character with his over abundance of hair and his Poncho Villa moustache.
Yosemite Sam comes to mind.
