Fractures in conservative opposition to gay rights and even same-sex marriage have now widened to include the core of the rights message machine, the Fox News Channel, where a cadre of younger voices have begun to defend same-sex relationships and even advocate openly for same-sex marriage.
(snip) Smith is the most notable and frequent example to buck Fox News regular party line on the issue.
But the same week that Smith described Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day, organized by fellow Fox host Mike Huckabee, as a national day of intolerance, Kelly joined Smith on his side of the gay marriage debate ....
Hoover, who was a Fox contributor for four years and is now at CNN, ".... my sense of it is that this is both of them taking a principled stand, Hoover said. It probably isnt representative of Foxs positioning on an issue. Clearly Mike Huckabee doesnt feel the same way.
Another former Fox employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that in fact, higher-ups actively frown on Smiths outspokenness.
Shep is on really thin ice, the former employee said. If he wasn't so popular and highly rated (and highly paid) Roger [Ailes] would have yanked him off the air months ago.

fox business is unwatchable with that liberal loone Imus in the morning talking about everything but business.
They should just replace him with varney.
Kelly should just get off the air.
Smith is competing against non-competion cnn and msnbc. IOW during those hours there is no news.
FBN covers news better than FNC too.
You’re right about Imus. Not sure why anyone would watch/listen to him. Why pray tell is he on any FOX station?
Unless there is a hurricane coming we need to check on, we don’t watch any TV until Varney comes on and then TV is off until just before the market closes. Cavuto, Varney and Dodds are at the top of our preferred list.
who likes Smith, the man is a fairy and full of hate
Kelly, Smith, geraldo need to go now, Kelly borught her mate on named Saly Khon[kohn]
O.R. and Hannity need to be replaced.
Seeing as I never watch them anymore I’m betting nothing has changed by any of them Hannity a fraud, O.R. big mouth
I have no idea why anyone on ere watch these people and as for the FIVE I gave it 3months and could not take it anymore
