Via Mediaite, the outfit responsible for posting this clip to YouTube is none other than Media Matters, making this a rare case of a lefty hatchet shop approvingly circulating a segment from Fox News. But it makes sense. Obama’s under pressure because he and the CDC seem to keep getting surprised by developments, first when an Ebola patient showed up in the U.S. (“unlikely,” Obama claimed last month) and then when he transmitted the disease to two nurses. Shep’s PSA here was earnestly delivered, I’m sure, but Media Matters naturally enjoyed it twice over because it turned down a little...

SHEP SMITH, FNC: Oh, my God. Doug, I appreciate it, but I think we both know there's no widespread panic across the country and we both know -- And I think we also know that if there is widespread panic, it's not based in fact, and it's not based in reason, and I think more than anything, those are just words that people on tv sometimes use. But this is serious, in that two health care workers have died in Texas. It's very serious for their families and in West Africa where it is spreading and it is an epidemic,...

On Monday, Fox News host Shepard Smith accused the GOP of making climate change a “political issue,” declaring “it’s science.” Mediaite picked up those comments from Smith, who reported on the recently released government climate change report. The report predicted that rising temperatures could cost the U.S. economy hundreds of billions of dollars and cause premature deaths, including deaths from starvation, mosquito-borne disease, heat exhaustion, flooding, and other natural disasters by the year 2090. The report urges action to reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions. “Heat waves are getting stronger, floods are growing larger, wildfires are obliterating more...

Chris Wallace calls out Shep Smith for blaming Trump over ‘mail bombings’

Vanity post. Real question however. Started watching "Shepard Smith Reporting" moments ago... and he was spinning such an MSNBC line against President Trump I had to wonder how he still has a program on FOX. I really don't understand why he is on FOX. So, I thought I would ask wiser Freepers than I....why does FOX keep Shepard Smith?? Thanks for your thoughts. Best to you.

Hannity allegedly made the comments about Smith — who has made a name for himself in the Fox News Trump-era by refusing to pander to his network’s conservative audience — while hanging-out with Trump at Mar-a-Lago last weekend where he was “overheard trashing” the anchor, according to Vanity Fair. “Hannity was denouncing Shep and Trump was eating it up,” said one source who is familiar with the encounter between Trump and Hannity, which led in the host attempting to discredit the report. This wouldn’t be the first time Shepard Smith has butted-heads with Fox News’ opinion programming. During an in-depth...

Sean Hannity fired back at his Fox News colleague Shepard Smith on Twitter Friday after the breaking news anchor claimed Fox News’s opinion programming doesn’t “really have rules.” “While Shep is a friend with political views I do not share, and great at breaking news, he is clueless about what we do every day,” Mr. Hannity, a pro-Trump conservative and prime-time Fox News host, tweeted Friday. “Hannity breaks news daily-Warrant on a Trump assoc, the unmasking scandal, leaking intel, Fisa abuse, HRC lawbreaking, dossier and more REAL NEWS! 9p,” he wrote.

Shepard Smith may report some items that anger viewers of Fox News Channel, but that hasn’t kept the 21st Century Fox-owned cable-news outlet from keeping him in its lineup. Fox News said Thursday that it signed the anchor to a new multi-year deal.

White House senior aide Jared Kushner’s multiple omissions on required financial disclosure forms for his security clearance would “be a crime, punishable by prison” for other people, Fox News host Shepard Smith said Thursday. “Apparently not in this case,” Smith added. The White House has implied that Kushner’s frequent revisions to his financial forms to provide information that was incorrect or missing have caused delays which have held up his security clearance, even though he works with an interim clearance that allows him to view classified information. Two sources, however, also told CNN Thursday that Kushner will not obtain full...

Shepard Smith once again came out of his closet, which has a glass door, and went full rogue on Trump and discrediting the Nuns memo and supporting Muller investigation.

'Get that hack out of Fox News': Shepard Smith leaves viewers irate after six-minute segment debunking theory of Hillary Clinton's 'crimes' in Uranium One deal Smith aired six-minute segment debunking far-right conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton's alleged wrongdoing in a sale of American uranium Smith said many claims about Clinton's supposed role in the uranium sale were 'inaccurate' 'Shep Smith needs to be fired for his biased reporting,' tweeted one Fox News viewer in response to the segment Fox News anchor Shepard Smith infuriated a large number of the network's viewers on Tuesday after a six-minute segment in which he...

“Our booking team, and they’re good, reached out to Republicans of all stripes across the country today. Let’s be honest. Republicans often don’t really mind coming on Fox News Channel. We couldn’t get anyone to come and defend him here because we thought, in balance, someone should do that. We worked very hard at it throughout the day, and we were unsuccessful.” One Republican that apparently hadn’t been reached out to, is Danny Tarkanian, running for U.S. Senate against Dean Heller in Nevada. He accepted Shepard Smith’s challenge today on social media. He tweeted: Hey @ShepNewsTeam bookers didn’t contact me...

Has Rupert Murdoch benched "Pajama Boy" Shepard Smith. Shucks, folks, no Shep ranting % raving this weekend, the CNN clarion call..."we do not know whether this was terrorist attack or not"!!! Ya know...after all the buildup that Shepard Smith was the man of the hour when it came to "Breaking News", the Pajama Boy, Smith was nowhere in sight this weekend. Methinks, Old Man, Rupert Murdoch is getting nervous at FNC & FBN, and has had second thoughts about turning them into another CNN as his dumb, moron, buffoon sons desire!!! Once again, where was Shepard Smith...the point man for...

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is speaking out about coming out. Smith, managing editor of the conservative network, revealed last month that while he always knew he was "different" than his peers growing up in Mississippi, he feels he never had the need to out himself - because he was never in. "Someone asked me if Roger Ailes had been abusive to me, and I said, 'No. He was always good to me," and that was the truth," Smith said during a talk at the University of Mississppi's Meek School of Journalism, where he was once a student. "And when...

Fox News has been known to separate its programming into “opinion” and “news”, but some parts of its news wing have fallen prey to the beasts of fake news. One in particular is Fox News' Shepard Smith Reporting, which has been dominated by the unsubstantiated claims surrounding Russia's meddling in the US election and the non-existent Trump-Russia connections. Almost daily, Shepard Smith wades into rants and allegations about Trump's connections to Russia while ignoring the larger, real and substantiated connections between Russia and the Clintons. For this, petitions and calls to have Smith fired have been growing. Shepard Smith is...

"Fox News cannot confirm Judge [Andrew] Napolitano's commentary," Smith said. "Fox News knows of no evidence of any kind that the now-president of the United States was surveilled at any time, in any way. Full stop."

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith defended CNN on Friday after the news organization was barred from spokesman Sean Spicer’s question-and-answer session at the White House.

Shepard Smith, a Fox News anchor, whose job is to report the news, instead went off, unhinged, attacking President Trump because Trump criticized CNN reporter Jim Acosta.  Evidently, the news media boys believe they can attack Trump, but when Trump responds, then it is an attack on the First Amendment.  They cannot handle being criticized. Smith said: It's crazy what we're watching every day.  It's absolutely crazy.  He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as [if] we're some kind of fools for asking a question.  Really?  Your...

Not all Fox News hosts are Republican lemmings. Take Shepard Smith, who has been carving out a name for himself as a voice of dissension at the network, speaking out against President Trump with growing regularity. He took his disapproval to new heights on Thursday, deriding Trump shortly after his first solo presidential press conference. “Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening and we’re fools for asking the questions? No, sir,” Smith said on air. “It’s crazy what we’re watching...
