NEW YORK — While Fox News Channel has spent hours talking about Hillary Clinton and an Obama-era uranium deal in recent weeks, its news anchor Shepard Smith avoided the story entirely.
Fresh evidence that Smith is an island unto himself at the news network came in research released Thursday by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America. During the three weeks starting Oct. 17, Fox News spent just under 12 hours talking about the Uranium One deal, with 29 percent of that time on opinion host Sean Hannity’s prime-time show.
Smith’s 3 p.m. weekday newscast didn’t mention the story at all during the three weeks, except for two minutes on Oct. 27 — when Smith wasn’t in and Trace Gallagher substituted for him.
Fox did not make Smith or the show’s executive producer available for an interview on Thursday. The veteran newscaster is often criticized by Fox’s more conservative viewers for reporting on views they disagree with.
“The base doesn’t like Shepard Smith,” said Tim Graham, director of media analysis at the conservative Media Research Center. “That would be a heck of a Christmas present — dump Shep, let MSNBC have him.”
Fox News, in response, said Smith was “one of the most valued and talented journalists” at the network.

IOW, he’s pretty much useless.
Time for Shep to pack it up and go to CNN
The little faggula, butt buddy, Shemp, won’t cover the REAL news!
Shep is a puckering A-hole... No wonder.
He should just go away. He would fit in good with Madcow and that bunch at MSNBC.
We know why!
Don’t use Shep and pack it up in the same sentence.
And I’d say:
IOW, he’s pretty much a liberal and Democrat covering for other Democrats.
Any negative news about Her Heinous gets Shep’s panties up in wad. HMMM..is that a poor choice of words in this case? :/
Ole queer bait is dragging down Fox News. They need to get rid of his sorry @ss.
Shep is a bit of a liberal narcissist who never misses a chance to virtue signal. He’s unwatchable.
What, Smith just gets to cover whatever he wants to cover? He has no supervision?
He's not as much of a news anchor as he is an editorial talking head. Faux News really blurs the line with him. Has he got dirt on somebody over there?
The only one at Fox who actually wanted to see Bolling’s junk....
Experienced fluffers are always in demand in TV broadcasting!
Shep has big numbers because lots of Fox viewers shut off their tv’s when they leave for work, but leave their cable tuner set on Fox. That inflates Fox’s entire daytime lineup with phantom viewers who show up on the feedback from the cable giants.
Ever time I hear the name Shepherd Smith, I’m reminded of that lyric in that song by Dire Straits...
See the little faggot with the earring and the make up
Yeah buddy that’s his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he’s a millionaire.
Good lord——can you imagine the uproar if that was recorded today.
I’m surprised the gay lobby doesn’t demand that it be destroyed-——like confederate statues are being destroyed.

I hope this is equivalent to the Baseball owner's 'vote of confidence' for a Manager of a losing ball club.
Owner: 'Manager Joe Bob has my unequivocal vote of confidence' ... and then, voila, Manager Joe Bob is fired two days later.
