'Temper Tantrums'? Former Fox News Anchor Shep Smith's CNBC Ratings Continue to Collapse
RedState ^ | July 16 2021 | Mike Miller

Posted on 07/16/2021 2:44:39 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

I decided to start this article “backward,” that is, with a conclusion, which is this: Former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is irrelevant. So, then, why write this article? Because smug Mr. Smith dumped all over his then-network, abruptly walked out and left for “greener” (left-wing) pastures, and has only seen his ratings continue to swirl down the liberal toilet. Newsworthy? Don’t care. Stick the knife in and twist it? Hell, yeah.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Also, because, according to reports, Smith has been described as not only “a very difficult person to work for” — his “temper tantrums” have reportedly been both “ugly” and frequent. In other words, the proverbial perfect storm. Better yet, self-inflicted. By a know-it-all condescending liberal. If there was ever a guy who “got exactly what he deserved” – call it karma, whatever – it’s this guy. And this is an opportunity I couldn’t pass up...

He’s a gay loser.

“If there was ever a guy who “got exactly what he deserved” – call it karma, whatever – it’s this guy.”

“This guy” makes a number followed by SIX zeroes every year. He hasn’t got what he deserves by a very long shot.

Perhaps Shep, Keith Obermann, Chris Mathews, Michael Toobin, and Al Franken as content contributor and analyst, can start a new network, the “Loser Network” and go after the loser market. Losers all.

About the tantrums:

At least two people with direct knowledge of the situation described Smith as having regular “temper tantrums.” When CNBC announced Smith was joining the business news channel, it tapped Sandy Cannold, a veteran TV producer, to help helm the show along with co-executive producer Sally Ramirez, a veteran of local television.

But according to multiple people familiar with the matter, Cannold departed less than six months in, and clashed at times with Smith in front of staff. Other employees were also frustrated when, in recent weeks, the show laid off two of the few non-white employees on its production team.

That's a pretty damn good idea. Someone will probably go for it, on YouTube or some such.

Why have Shep’s ratings sunk? I can only think of one reason. Viewers are discriminating against people who wear heavy makeup. Those bigots!

Only two data points: Fox and CNBC. Obviously the lead in to Shemp’s show wherever has some bearing. But a star or ratings draw should be as good at one as the other.

We here know what we long suspected. Shemp is not the draw he thinks he is. And the ratings prove it
