Following President Donald Trumps press conference on Thursday, in which he referred to reports of his campaigns contact with Russia as you guessed it fake news, Shepard Smith delivered a scathing response.
The Fox News anchor one of the few voices at the conservative network willing to take Trump to task began by defending rival CNN reporter Jim Acosta, whose attempts to ask Trump about the recent White House leaks turned into 10 minutes of the president attacking him, as well as the entire news organization.
Hes an accomplished reporter a guy Ive never met, but a good reporter, Smith said of Acosta. [Trump was] treating him like Im not even going to use the word. Im not going to give Twitter the love it needs. Its crazy what were watching everyday, its absolutely crazy. He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia, as if were some kind of fools for asking the question.
He continued: Really? Your opposition was hacked, and the Russians were responsible for it, and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening, and were fools for asking the questions? No, sir, we are not fools for asking this question, and we demand to know the answer to this question. You owe this to the American people.(continued)

CNN would hire Shep in a NY minute. Wish he’d go.
‘Conservative network’? When did Fox News Channel become a ‘Conservative network’?
Who writes this drivel.
You snowflake tantrum throwers are always whining about “Where’s the evidence?” Where’s YOUR evidence Shemp? Put up or shut up. Creep.
Someone slap that boy up!
Haven’t watched FOX since the ‘debates’, and here’s more evidence no mistake was made. Cutting the cable made me soon see what a time and money waster it is.
Just watching someone like Smith is bad enough - but PAYING for it too?
Well, all the fools just breathed a big sigh of relief. They thought they were all now going to have to turn queer.
If fools knew they were fools, then either they would not be fools or they would stop being fools in which case they would no longer be fools.
Therefore, fools cannot know they are fools.
Ok? That is all.
Shemp sure has gotten a big head now that he can legally pee in the ladies room at Target.
Smith is not a fool, he’s a DAMN FOOL.
“I theorize that he has the goods on somebody high up on the totem pole at Fox.”
He is a homo, so whatever totem pole you are speaking of, you could be right.
I didn’t know he did that because I never watch him. I guess he’s their token pervert.......he makes me sick and I’m surprised at Fox....(or maybe not).......;(
Good thinking. Maybe one of the men made a pass at him.
Folks...the reason Shepard Smith has never been moved from his “low viewer” afternoon slot on FNC is because, number one. no one watches or listens to him, and, number two he is insane and filled with hate from head to toe!! End of story!!!
We?
Well Shep, you’ll never be mistaken for a ‘real’ journalist, that’s for sure. Partisan opinions don’t belong in ‘real’ reporting. They only find their place in ‘fake’ news hackery. Like the kind that you practice.
Fox news should really take a look inward and figure out why they pay this butthole millions when he’s driving their core audience away in droves. Maybe he’d make a good sidekick for Mehgan.
It’s a gerbil
By your very response, Smith, you show who you are.
Well, Shep is a gerbil-ist, isn’t he?
Is that like a brony?
I don’t know, I really don’t pay attention to where people like putting things. Not my business.
Trump gave us something tonite though. I watched that press conference. Yes, it was “unpresidential” and “raw” and blah blah blah.
But this is the time to step up and support him for doing it.
We’ve been waiting SO long for this. We HAVE to take advantage and show our support.
Shep Smith is not a fool in the same way Alan Alda is not a doctor.
They both just play one on TV.
But Shep is more convincing as a fool than Alda is as a doctor.
“...stunned when Jennifer Griffin was hyping the Russian connections to Trump...”
She covered the Hillary side of the campaign for Fox.
