Fox News anchor Shepard Smith on Wednesday criticized President-elect Donald Trump for his shouting match with a CNN reporter.
Trump refused to take a question from CNN's Jim Acosta during a Wednesday news conference, berating him and accusing his network of reporting "fake news." The confrontation came after CNN reported that intelligence officials briefed Trump about Russia having compromising information on him — a report Trump denied.
"President-elect Trump today told CNN's Jim Acosta the his organization amounts to fake news. CNN's exclusive reporting on the Russian matter was separate and distinctly different from the document dump executed by an online news property," Smith said during his closing monologue.
"Though we at Fox News cannot confirm CNN's report, it is our observation that its correspondents followed journalistic standards and that neither they nor any other journalists should be subjected to belittling and delegitimizing by the president-elect of the United States," Smith added.
During the press conference, Trump continuously refused to let Acosta ask him a question.
"You're attacking us, can you give us a question?” Acosta asked.
"Don't be rude. No, I'm not going to give you a question. You are fake news," Trump responded, before taking a question from a Breitbart News reporter.
Seems there is a new, very broad definition of just what “Journalistic Standards” means.
Oh, dear. Shep got his g string in a bunch.
Oh, look! It’s just another day!
CNN gave the debate questions to Shep’s girl, so he must defend them, even though it’s bad for Fox (his employer).
Is he practicing for an evening rendezvous?
The way he says it implies that this is the official position of Fox News. I'm not seeing anything to confirm this on their Twitter account.
“told him he’ll be kicked out of future press confs if he presses hard for ques again.”
He should be given a “time out” of a couple of press conf’s for his interruptions this time when it was clear Trump was calling on someone else. There should be no “warnings” - only consequences that will act as a warning to others that appropriate behavior by the press is expected, belligerence and interruptions will not be tolerated.
He ought to not call on him.....period. For 4 years.
Gays of a feather....
Apparently being homosexual trumps being American.
” You are fake news,” Trump responded, before taking a question from a Breitbart News reporter.”
Bwhahahahahaha.... CNN needs to get used to it. Breitbart is getting their seat.
It wasn't a shouting match; the only person shouting was the CNN’s Democratic operative
^^^^^^
Exactly what I was going to say.
Shep Smith is a F.A.G.
Everything is agenda driven with sodomites. And Shep is a sodomite. Me thinks he needs a good, thorough and proper b1tch slapping from his housemate/boyfriend/backdoorman or whatever the hell they call each other.
Until then, FUSS / FUFN. Stopped watching you punk-ass b1tches 10 years ago and I ain’t gots no needs o’ desire to be watchin’ y’all agin till y’all gets rid o all them thar faggots & sodomites.
Most sincerely yours,
Roger Kaputnik
Shemp's doing his mouth exercises for a night out with Little Marco.
There was NO shouting match. The CNN asshole was shouting. Trump was cool and calm.

Oh no! What’s he gonna do? Tickle fight?
Smith has allegiance to media not America.
Queen that’s a drama queen.
Memo to Shep the Butt-Pirate: It’s fake news stupid. Somebody on 4Chan made it up and all these idiots, including McInsane and the CIA ran with it!
Yep, he we can bet he doesn't speak for FNC.
