Shep Smith Trashes Trump as Autocrat Spewing 'Garbage and Lies' at Journalists Dinner
newsbusters.org ^ | 11/22/2019 | Tim Graham

Liberal media outlets were thrilled at Shepard Smith's first public remarks since abruptly leaving Fox News last month. Smith hosted a dinner of the Committee to Protect Journalists, and proclaimed he was donating a half million dollars to the group. Michael Grynbaum at The New York Times reported he called "for a steadfast defense of independent journalism, while offering a few subtle barbs at President Trump’s treatment of the press."

Subtle? “Intimidation and vilification of the press is now a global phenomenon. We don’t have to look far for evidence of that,” Smith said. “Our belief a decade ago that the online revolution would liberate us now seems a bit premature, doesn’t it? Autocrats have learned how to use those same online tools to shore up their power. They flood the world of information with garbage and lies, masquerading as news. There’s a phrase for that.”

Wow, he’s a 10kw projector!

That an American can get filthy rich by publicly lying through their teeth, as Shep and so many other MSM mouthpieces do...is disgusting. Totally disgusting.

The “the Committee to Protect Journalists”? WTH?!?! Journalists are supposed to be the “Committee to Protect our Constitution and the American Way”.

Their vilification is the normal reaction of good, honest, patriotic Americans.

Karma, please happen soon.

LOL! So lame and yet so much money.

Has my Mom reminded over and over when I was growing up... "Just because someone has a lot of money doesn't mean they KNOW anything."

If trump is that kind of autocrat, how are you “journalists” not held in secret camps, having a lot of fatal “accidents” or just plain disappeared?

Actually a few years now. Sad, since they were the alternative and now they’re mostly in the same boat with the rest of the lames.

Intimidation and humiliation. The press has been experts at that for decades.

Will they be inviting Shemp (no disrespect to The Three Stooges meant here), to roast President Trump at the next White House Correspondence Dinner?
