COULD IT BE RELATED TO THIS?

It was just two weeks ago that the long-simmering enmity between Fox News channel news personnel and opinion hosts, broke out wide into the open when Smith and prime time conservative host Tucker Carlson got into an on air dust-up that made headlines.

Their disagreement, which involved Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst Andrew Napolitano and prominent conservative Washington, D.C. attorney Joseph diGenova, concerned radically differing interpretations of the legality of President Donald Trump’s phone conversation with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky last July 25 – an event that has become the raison d’être for the Democrats’ move to impeach the president in the House of Representatives.

The embarrassing on air dispute cooled off after Smith was reportedly cautioned by management to drop it.

BTW, in case you don’t know -— Shepard Smith was one of Fox News’s highest paid hosts, according to multiple reports, making $15 million a year. His separation pay is probably going to be even larger. Add this to the fact that he doesn’t have kids ( don’t know if he’s “married” or not ) and he’s had it made for life.

Yep, he picked a fight with the number two rated hosted and lost.

Was he pushed or did he jump? I suspect the humiliation was too much and, like a prissy prima donna, he decided to leave in a huff.

I won’t be missing that rump ranger.

Could be that and maybe he had something to do with the fake poll. That was the last straw!

Apparently he resigned while working under an existing contract. Unless the contract specifically says he's entitled to some separation pay if he chooses to resign, it's hard to believe he'll be paid to quit when Fox wanted him to stay.

I think it was Fox coming to it's senses. Not worth keeping any more

1. His ratings sucked
2. Him And gay judge Nap vs. high rated Tucker wasn't smart
3. Looks like old Shep tried to pull a Matt Lauer on another dude!
