Hannity allegedly made the comments about Smith — who has made a name for himself in the Fox News Trump-era by refusing to pander to his network’s conservative audience — while hanging-out with Trump at Mar-a-Lago last weekend where he was “overheard trashing” the anchor, according to Vanity Fair.
“Hannity was denouncing Shep and Trump was eating it up,” said one source who is familiar with the encounter between Trump and Hannity, which led in the host attempting to discredit the report.
This wouldn’t be the first time Shepard Smith has butted-heads with Fox News’ opinion programming. During an in-depth profile released last month, the news anchor took several shots at his network’s night slots:
“I get it, that some of our opinion programming is there strictly to be entertaining. I get that. I don’t work there. I wouldn’t work there. I don’t want to sit around and yell at each other. That sounds horrible to me. You don’t talk about your money, you don’t talk about your politics, and you don’t talk about your sex. Right now, everyone wants to talk about those things, and I’m not one of them. Not going to do it.”
This led Hannity to respond by saying, “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.”
He also has accused Smith of being “so anti-Trump,” while his beleaguered opinion colleague Laura Ingraham called Smith’s critiques “inconsiderate & inaccurate.”

There is absolutely nothing gay about Shepherd Smith. He is miserable like all the rest of the homosexuals. It is a shame that they commandeered the word gay. I never met a happy homosexual in my life. Shepherd is no exception and I never met him. His anger and hate ooze from every pore in his body. At the moment President Trump is his main target.
Where did you see specific Hannity quotes? I can’t find them.
les cage aux folles in a long line of feather boa twirlers— absolutely nothing unique about any of them. Except maybe hating their moms. Cooper actually worse than any of them, cause he could have done something more with his life, like be a true journalist with real stories.... instead of a mouthpiece water carrier for the rest of the bandarlog monkey zoo. Monkey see... monkey do.....monkey fling da pooh.
Aw, shep is so cute, I can’t imagine him having to leave a gay bar alone at 3 am. I’m starting to feel sorry for him.
LOL
“Fox News HUNK???
Hunk of what exactly?
Featherweight in lace and pink tights.
Shep has been very hard to take for quite awhile. He’s got that highly verbal, in-your-face earnestness, like Bob Costas, the sports creep.
Who cares. It was a private conversation, they can say what they want.
“Shepard Smith should go to CNN where he could sit (with, on, behind, under) Anderson Cooper...”
Hehehehehe, that is a good one.
That appears to be the sum total of what they call "trashing Shep Smith."
This led Hannity to respond by saying, “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.”
Who the hell was in the room who wrote down WORD FOR WORD what was said..not close to what was said but word for word..who is the freakin leaker?
I only give Shep credit for one thing, that he sticks to his beliefs. He has hated every Republican President, from Reagan to Bush to now Trump..with Alison Camerota, she pretended to lean right while on Fox but went to CNN and went full commie
Shepard spews out more editorial comments in a half hour than most of the network does in a day.
He comes across as an obstinate faggot.
A few years ago, she was actually pretty decent when she was on Fox News, she was a co anchor, never figured she was such a Commie loon..she seemed to be more to the right, or maybe she was just faking it, because on CNN she has gone full commie, not half commie but full commie.
The winds have shifted at FNC, since the Murdoch brothers took over from their dad, Rupert. They're moving leftward, as evidenced by Shep and others being so boldly liberal.
Stheperd Sthmith- typical Ole Miss guy.
