Shepard Smith is leaving Fox News.

The midday anchor, who has been with the network since its inception in 1996, will step down from his role as Chief News Anchor and Managing Editor of the network’s breaking news unit and Anchor of Shepard Smith Reporting effective immediately the network said in a release.

'Shep is one of the premier newscasters of his generation and his extraordinary body of work is among the finest journalism in the industry,' said Fox News Media president Jay Wallace.

'His integrity and outstanding reporting from the field helped put FOX News on the map and there is simply no better breaking news anchor who has the ability to transport a viewer to a place of conflict, tragedy, despair or elation through his masterful delivery.'

GOOD RIDDANCE!

Sorry...yelling is not polite, but I'm very glad this faggot is gone.

I literally could not stand the sight of him.

[RummyChick]

It does. However he did get in a snit with Tucker Carlson. He may have thrown a fit behind the scenes.

Or Barr could have given Murdoch and Disney a reason to get rid of him

OR both

[SPRINK]

I would bet he said he goes or Carlson goes....they chose the higher rated carlson

Smith “ he was escorted out by security “

[RummyChick]

Probably..saw a tweet that Shep was told to deescalate the situation.

I am sure he didn’t like that

[RummyChick]

That just might be standard procedure.

The douche-nozzle is one huge reason why I avoid Fox News, daily.

That blithering idiot Juan Williams and that disgusting POS Donna Brazile are just a couple more examples of the decline of that network’s credibility.

OANN is now my primary source of tv news.

GOOD NEWS—He can go to work for CNN now—where he belongs. He could be there “conservative” voice.

Shep’s eyeliner was over-the-top. Looked like an ancient Egyptian some days.

[Kozak]

Good riddance. I’ve loathed him since Katrina.

[zipper]

"effective immediately"

That sounds like he was fired.

Yes, and "escorted out by security" -- that REALLY sounds like he was fired.

Well, bye.

[newfreep]

Well, he did have THE BEST make-up of all the talking heads...and that's gotta count for something

[hsmomx3]

Take Napolitano, too.

Chris Wallace's father is 60 Minutes Mike Wallace I think.
