Shep Smith's half-hearted effort on daytime FNC is the only instance worth mentioning.

Thanks for the correction.

Although it appears that Mr. Smith's defense was rooted in his theory that the President doesn't have the right to "belittle or delegitimize" any "journalist."

This is pretty much the standard MSM line: they are special, in a special, protected class of human being.

Of course they get to determine who is a "journalist" and who is not, who gets the protection of the First Amendment and who does not, who gets their stories labeled as "fake news" and who is protected from that label.

But anyway, you are right and I stand corrected. One of their colleagues, Shepard Smith, did defend them.

Didn't intend to correct you but that's what happened I guess.

I figure several if not many news kiddies on network TV are wanting to hedge their bets (by not criticizing that particular Time Warner cable channel and their reporter) just because THEY may have to put in employment applications (with TW) within the next year or less.
