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 profile released last month, the news anchor took several shots at his network’s night slots:
“I get it, that some of our opinion programming is there strictly to be entertaining. I get that. I don’t work there. I wouldn’t work there. I don’t want to sit around and yell at each other. That sounds horrible to me. You don’t talk about your money, you don’t talk about your politics, and you don’t talk about your sex. Right now, everyone wants to talk about those things, and I’m not one of them. Not going to do it.”
This led Hannity to respond by saying, “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.”
He also has accused Smith of being “so anti-Trump,” while his beleaguered opinion colleague Laura Ingraham called Smith’s critiques “inconsiderate & inaccurate.”

These are pretty specific quotes (or creative writing), so who is leaking personal conversations of the POTUS?
Shep hits for the other side. /understatement
Shep took the first shot against Sean. Shep deserves the hits.
This seems to be all hearsay-—the norm these days.

Shepard Smith should go to CNN where he could sit (with, on, behind, under) Anderson Cooper...
Shep must be locked into his contract at fox with a huge buyout, for the life of me I don’t know why they cant cut him loose...
Surprisingly (or not), no name is attached to said source.
Shepard ain’t even a log cabin pubie... he’s just another gay Democrat.
There, fixed it.
More fake news from an unnamed source.
This crap should be illegal.
Shepard Smith: The new face of Faux News?
the funniest part is when they called him a ‘straight’ newsman...
Shep is the breaking news lead anchor in name only, Harris Faulkner is much better at the job.
I haven’t watched Shep since his atrocious lies he reported during hurricane Katrina.
Love how the article seems to suggest that Shep is a reporter, who reports only FACTS, but Sean is an opinion guy.
But I think that’s how liberals think.
Who at Mar-A-Lago has the big mouth?
Idiotic.... “hey I heard” crapola. Shep smith was a junior reporter for ABC in Central Florida along with Trace Gallagher as they “came up the ranks” of whatever hiring hall took them.
Shep is a flamer, mentally and morally unstable. So, who gives a crap what a “mouthpiece” for leftist shite ever says on television— like a white Don Lemon-— zippo going on behind the forehead besides— what next vagus nerve stimulation am I going to get... tonight? Vapid. Empty. always just reacting, and always with feminine outrage that requires zero rational thought.
