NBCUniversal’s CNBC has canceled “The News with Shepard Smith,” its primetime general news show, to refocus on business and market coverage.

The network announced the news Thursday in an e-mail to CNBC employees. Smith will be leaving the network later this month, according to a person familiar with the matter. CNBC will replace Smith’s primetime show with markets coverage until a new live show focusing on business news launches in 2023.

“After spending time with many of you and closely reviewing the various aspects of our business, I believe we must prioritize and focus on our core strengths of business news and personal finance,” CNBC President KC Sullivan said in an e-mail to CNBC employees. “As a result of this strategic alignment to our core business, we will need to shift some of our priorities and resources and make some difficult decisions.”

Never liked him at Fox, all those years.

Besides Juan Williams my least favorite.

Shep is thinking: Damm! I should have just stayed at Fox.
I had it made over there, but I never felt appreciated.
Maybe I’ll give Chris Wallace another quick call. He must have forgot to return all my texts.”

So what’s the scoreboard? Don Lemon. Brian Stelter. Jeffrey Toobin. Shepard Smith.

Never watched them myself.

He should have been fired and maybe prosecuted for telling people live on the air “Your kids are going to die if you don’t evacuate” during a storm that didn’t even hit FL.

Chris Wallace ....... Shepherd Smith ........

Typical clueless Democrat/RINO arseholes. I actually have more respect for Democrats than RINOs since Democrats at least tell you upfront that they're dumb socialists, fascists, communists, want to water down the U.S., whatever. But the RINOs are worse because they actually pretend they're conservatives, libertarians, mainstream Republicans, etc. Who do cluelessly obvious RINOs think they're fooling?

Whatever will gay boy do now with all this time on his hands?

Maybe he can pick up some strawberry daiquiri, give his friend Paul a call and get “hammered”
