Why Shep Smith finally walked out of Fox News for good
CNN ^ | 10/11/2019 | Brian Stetler

Posted on 10/11/2019 6:26:32 PM PDT by RummyChick

With President Trump actively distorting the truth and many of his own colleagues helping him do it, the Fox News star prided himself on anchoring a newscast that countered the network's pro-Trump opinion shows. The way Smith saw it, he was making sure that accurate information was getting on Fox's air. "I wonder," he told a Time magazine reporter last year, "if I stopped delivering the facts, what would go in its place in this place that is most watched, most listened, most viewed, most trusted? I don't know."

He was unwatchable. Always told every news story with an anti-Trump slant. The man let his sexual orientation get in the way of objectivity and the truth. Let’s not worry to much about Shep. Probably worth $10 million. No telling who has compromising videos on him. He’ll be forgotten in three seconds.

Thanks for posting this, RummyChick, but man, what a sickening article! Good riddance to Shemp Smith.

Anyone read the related article about "Campaign Carl" Cameron?

Hubby and I met Carl several times at CPAC, on Capitol Hill and at other political events. So now we learn he left FNC because Trump got elected, and he "couldn't stand" being around the likes of Sean Hannity and other conservatives on Fox News.

Campaign Carl is now running a political and news website "with a progressive bent".

Sure wish I had a decent iPhone with a good camera back on January 18, 2010 when hubby and I were 3 feet away from Campaign Carl in Wrentham, Massachusetts at a huge campaign event for Scott Brown. It was the eve of the MA special election for US Senator to replace the 'dearly departed' Chappaquiddick Ted. Cameron was there covering the event for Fox News.

'Ol Carl appeared to be quite drunk, and was wildly and overtly flirting with some bimbo... sticking his tongue out at her, touching her, and acting like a lovesick puppy. All while holding the Fox News microphone in his hand. It was one of the most chilling, repulsive things we've ever seen.

If I caught a video of that, I could've destroyed him. Maybe.

Which is worse? Listening to Shep Smith or reading CNNs take on his departure?

Carl Cameron, along with many others, followed Hillary on the campaign trail as she rode in an ambulance poorly disguised as a van. For months.

None of these ‘journalists’ investigated or revealed this fact and would have kept silent with or without the infamous 9/11 collapse video.

They were and are corrupt. Financially, morally, intellectually.

Yup.

And thanks for that reminder about Cameron NOT reporting on the fact that Hillary was riding in an ambulance / campaign van for months. I had forgotten that Campaign Carl 'somehow' failed to report that. I guess I thought he had left FNC by then. (I see on his Wikipedia page he left FNC in 2017)
