Commentator Shep Smith leaves Fox...

[dezii]

According to the posted [below] article....he was not let go...left on his own...supposedly had had it with the trend of where Fox is ...regarding the Donald..

His 3 PM show was one of the lowest seen of the networks shows..Which indicates so many just want to hear comments that the listener approves of...less interest in difference of opinions...[real sad there]

Yet due to strength of the network...he still was watched by many...I am sure the Donald is happy...the man was not one of his favorites...had dissed him in the past. Man was earning between ten and fifteen million per year and supposedly a net worth of $25 million...so hurting financially he will not be...

Shows money isn't everything for some...integrity is for many...Just Saying.
=====================
"With President Trump actively distorting the truth and many of his own colleagues helping him do it, the Fox News star prided himself on anchoring a newscast that countered the network's pro-Trump opinion shows.

The way Smith saw it, he was making sure that accurate information was getting on Fox's air.

"I wonder," he told a Time magazine reporter last year, "if I stopped delivering the facts, what would go in its place in this place that is most watched, most listened, most viewed, most trusted? I don't know."

Interesting that not one response or comment out of 70 plus  something readers...guess this is a very, very left leaning source...

Actually I was not knowleged as to who Smith is and his position....I never watch Fox for the most part...though I did turn it on as I fell asleep last night for some reason.....I woke up, I believe at 3 AM, TV was on......just as the host of that time spot..was going off...he had a guest  ...big, big face and mouth ...who was going off on everything Democratic and all the players...bla, bla, bla….shut off and fell asleep....

He is a legit journalist, I think once his non-compete is up there will be a race to sign him.

I understand he beat CNN and MSNBC for his time slot.

He and Chris Wallace are the only two prominent Fox reporters who have any rational sense about them. We often watch Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace to help keep us (as moderate liberals) as informed as possible. It's unfortunate that Smith is leaving, though I can understand why he had to choose between his paycheck and his integrity.

Wonder if this was the last straw for Smith....

Journalist John Solomon has joined Fox News as a contributor, the Washington Examiner learned Saturday. Fox News confirmed the recent hire.



Solomon, who recently announced his departure from the Hill newspaper and the Hill.TV brand to start his own media firm, will make his debut as a contributor during the prime-time hours Monday night.

He has recently made headlines with his reporting on former Vice President Joe Biden and his connection to Ukraine. Prior to that, he gained notoriety for his reporting on the Trump-Russia collusion theory and for his frequent appearances on Sean Hannity's show on Fox News.

Prior to his time at the Hill, Solomon spent time as an investigative reporter for the Associated Press and spent the past decade with the Washington Times. He also started Circa, was president of Packard Media Group, and headed the Center for Public Integrity, a group that investigates politicians and funding.
