After 23 years as one of the most prominent on air personalities at the Fox News channel, left wing program host Shepard Smith made the surprise announcement at the end of his program Shepard Smith Reporting on Friday afternoon that he is leaving the channel immediately (Fox News video here). Only minutes before, Fox News Media Relations emailed a news release to journalists, including this one, titled “Shepard Smith to Step Down from FOX News.” The release was attributed to an unusually high level source at the channel, Irena Briganti, the Executive Vice President of Corporate Communications for Fox News and Fox Business Network.

It is beyond belief that Smith would voluntarily walk away from a nine million dollars a year contract.
I guess we will have to wait for a leak or a whistleblower to find out the truth !!

Shep's departure did one good thing: it exposed the real leftist at Fox: Cavuto, Roberts, Baier,Napolitano, and Wallace. Anyone who would weep at Sheppie's departure should follow him out the door. The sooner the better. Fox is our safe haven from the crazy progressive fake news.

Shep is not a ‘straight news’ journalist and never was. They can stop that pretense. He was one of the growing list of liberal voices on Fox News. MSNBC and CNN of course leap out and again beclown themselves over the ‘bias’ on Fox. Please. Not even laughable anymore. Shep will join one of them soon and go full out Leftist. Everyone wins.

Well, I know that I'm really going to miss the little snot. Oh well, he'll have more time to spend with his husband, now.

He had a meeting with Barr OP, not Trump. Get your facts straight before making your statements, okay??
Makes you wonder though if Barr is discussing intel or testimony leakage that a couple of big name anchors have been going on about. If Wallace leaves, we will know we were right.

He's probably joining the Warren campaign.
Trump didn't meet w/ Murdock, Barr did. And I doubt it had anything to do with Shep Smith, unless he's been implicated in some leaks.

The suddenness of his departure and being escorted out by Fox Security (according to the Daily Mail), makes me wonder. It could be as simple as a temper tantrum by a drama queen who was chastised by management for picking a fight with Tucker Carlson, but it could also be something else. Whatever the cause, I say let him go and take his 20 viewers with him to MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS or another leftist network. Maybe Meghan Kelly and Gretchen Carlson can advise him on life after Fox News.

I first heard of Shep when he was arrested in Tallahassee for a fist fight over a parking place during the Al Gore coup attempt.

The leftists did not watch Smith. The conservatives did not watch Smith. The ratings? That was people in their kitchens preparing lunch, waiting for Smith to be off.

But ---- I will bet that Paul Ryan will find someone AT LEAST as leftist and anti-Trump as Smith, probably it will get worse, not better.

Even before I learned he was a Lefty I thought he was creepy and weird looking and wondered how he ever got to be an anchor.

When did Murdoch have lunch with Trump? I heard about a meeting with Murdoch and Barr, which was probably about the deep state investigation. Barr is too serious to get involved with TV personality matters.

Shep will be working at CNN sitting next to his idols James Clapper & John Dean. Or he will be on MSNBC sitting next to John Brennan, he will fit right in. In order to get there he has to hustle his fake book.

We stopped watching Fox News when they cancelled Glenn Beck while he was exposing Soros and his Open Society Foundation. We knew then Fox wasn't interested in the truth. Can you imagine the pressure put on Beck? Already being a fragile personality, it is no wonder he snapped.
That said, the pics in the article are the first I've seen of Shep's "news deck". Wowzers! What hubris, surrounding himself with minions having to face away from the camera with eyes locked on huge screens. Those human props must have cost the network a bundle. Was little Sheppie a Star Trek fan? The "news deck" sure looks like the "command deck" on the Enterprise. Shep was never my favorite and the last time I saw him he was crying on a bridge in New Orleans. He certainly has become the definition of a pompous ass. I hope he ends up on Yahoo News with Katie Couric.

Interesting that the day after Rupert Murdoch has lunch with Trump, Shep gets fired.
