ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., August 24, 2020 – CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, today announced The News with Shepard Smith will premiere on Wednesday, September 30th at 7pm ET. The live, one-hour program will broadcast each weeknight from CNBC’s Global Headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J. with encore presentations of the newscast airing at 12am ET and 4am ET. Sanford Cannold will serve as Senior Executive Producer and Sally Ramirez will join the network as Executive Producer. The News with Shepard Smith is CNBC’s nightly newscast providing deep, non-partisan coverage and perspective on the day’s most important stories.

At least one network boss, CNN president Jeff Zucker, has already publicly expressed interest. CNN and MSNBC are shaping up to be the two likeliest landing spots for former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, who unexpectedly left the network in October and has been on the cable news sidelines ever since as he waits out a non-compete agreement of unknown length. On Monday, The Daily Beast reported that Smith has talked to MSNBC president Phil Griffin about potentially joining the network. But, officially, both camps are staying quiet. Smith's spokesperson, Chris Giglio, declined comment on Tuesday when asked by The...

When he's available, he is somebody who is very talented, and I would be very open to talking to him," the network president said.

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."

Former Fox News reporter Carl Cameron joins MSNBC’s Ari Melber to discuss Shep Smith’s shocking exit from Fox News, a network he agrees has been ‘too Trump-ified.’ ‘Campaign Carl’ argues Smith ‘had to face’ an ‘awful lot’ of the networks host ‘telling viewers what they wanted to hear’ instead of what they need ‘ to know to fully be informed.’ Cameron argues without Shep Fox is more “propaganda” and “that's the stuff of third world nations.”

Far be it from us to tell Fox News how to run their business, but it seems the model they built — being a right-leaning alternative to the Left-wing pony show and Democrat propaganda factory all the other cable and network news organizations are — was pretty successful. So why in the world would some of the network’s hosts and paid analysts crap on that model? Because take it from us: Nobody wants to watch another Left-wing media puke enable the ongoing deep state coup attempt against President Donald Trump from Fox News. Nobody.

Fox News host Shepard Smith criticized fellow network personality Tucker Carlson for not defending Fox News contributor Andrew Napolitano after a guest on his show called the judge “a fool.” Former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova appeared on Carlson’s opinion show Tuesday night after news broke that Democrats had begun an impeachment inquiry into President Trump. On the show, diGenova tore into Napolitano, calling him a “fool.” Smith went after Carlson and diGenova, calling the incident “repugnant.”.........."

Fox News daytime anchor Shep Smith is facing intense backlash after Big League Politics published an audiotaped interview with John Doe #1, a 35-year old man who describes Smith sexually attacking him in New York City in 2004. Smith did not immediately stop his aggression as the alleged victim tried to fight Smith off, according to John Doe #1’s account of the incident. A petition at Ourstand.org states its mission: “Demand Fox News Suspend Shep Smith to Investigate Sexual Assault Claim.” The petition reads: “According to a new bombshell report from BigLeaguePolitics, Shep Smith has been accused of Sexual Assault...

A man told his story to Big League Politics about an encounter with Fox News host Shep Smith in 2004 in New York City. The man describes how he woke up with Smith on top of him with his tongue down his throat, how he tried to push the Fox host off him, and how Smith lunged at him three or four more times while continuing to force the unwanted physical encounter. In a revelatory interview with Neil McCabe for Big League Politics, John Doe #1, 35, says that Smith took advantage of him. Here is audio from the interview:

As the administration sends 5,200 troops to the border, the host painted GOP rhetoric as midterm election fearmongering. The GOP-fueled hysteria over the Central American migrant caravan traveling north through Mexico is nothing more than midterm election hyperbole, Fox News host Shep Smith insisted Monday. “There is no invasion. No one’s coming to get you. There’s nothing at all to worry about,” he said calmly on “Shepard Smith Reporting” on Monday. “But tomorrow is one week before the midterm election — which is what all of this all about,” he added. Smith tried to calm the public about the caravan...

Fox News host Shep Smith on Tuesday slammed President Donald Trump for how he conducted himself at a historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, accusing him of giving Kim everything he wanted while receiving virtually nothing in return. “America demanded complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization. … There’s no guarantee of that, not even words to that effect,” Smith said of the agreement signed between Trump and Kim, which says North Korea will work toward denuclearization but doesn’t offer specific details on how this will occur. The Fox News host decried Trump for offering his signature to an agreement...

Sean Hannity fired back at his Fox News colleague Shepard Smith on Twitter Friday after the breaking news anchor claimed Fox News’s opinion programming doesn’t “really have rules.” “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,” Mr. Hannity, a pro-Trump conservative and prime-time Fox News host, tweeted Friday. “Hannity breaks news daily-Warrant on a Trump assoc, the unmasking scandal, leaking intel, Fisa abuse, HRC lawbreaking, dossier and more REAL NEWS! 9p,” he wrote.

Shepard Smith may report some items that anger viewers of Fox News Channel, but that hasn’t kept the 21st Century Fox-owned cable-news outlet from keeping him in its lineup. Fox News said Thursday that it signed the anchor to a new multi-year deal.

White House senior aide Jared Kushner’s multiple omissions on required financial disclosure forms for his security clearance would “be a crime, punishable by prison” for other people, Fox News host Shepard Smith said Thursday. “Apparently not in this case,” Smith added. The White House has implied that Kushner’s frequent revisions to his financial forms to provide information that was incorrect or missing have caused delays which have held up his security clearance, even though he works with an interim clearance that allows him to view classified information. Two sources, however, also told CNN Thursday that Kushner will not obtain full...

Shep Smith needs to apologize to President Trump.

Shep Smith just said Trump isn't endorsing Roy Moore because he is an alleged child molester.
