After 23 years as one of the most prominent on air personalities at the Fox News channel, left wing program host Shepard Smith made the surprise announcement at the end of his program Shepard Smith Reporting on Friday afternoon that he is leaving the channel immediately (Fox News video here). Only minutes before, Fox News Media Relations emailed a news release to journalists, including this one, titled “Shepard Smith to Step Down from FOX News.” The release was attributed to an unusually high level source at the channel, Irena Briganti, the Executive Vice President of Corporate Communications for Fox News and Fox Business Network. Like Smith, Briganti has been with Fox News since it launched in 1996.

The news about Smith’s sudden exit stunned almost everyone, including Fox News host Neil Cavuto, whose live program immediately followed Smith’s on-air announcement. As the Washington Examiner transcribed it:
Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto appeared momentarily stunned at the beginning of his show after hearing that his colleague Shepard Smith’s last day at the network was Friday. . .
“Woah. I’m Neil Cavuto and like you, I’m a little stunned and a little heartbroken. I don’t know what to say. Shepard Smith, as I said, just a few days ago on this very network, a decent human being, a heart as big as Texas. I didn’t say Texas at the time, maybe just all of Manhattan. Wow. I don't know. . . A better newsman, you probably cannot find.

LOL
I see what you did there.
Anybody know where I can find the video of the confrontation between Carlson and Shemp Smith? I haven’t seen it and I can’t find it.
I wonder what they’re going to do w those ridiculously sized iPads that were always behind him.
Typical fag.
Typical Ole Miss- closet Leftists.
“Oh come on, lighten up
We gotta enjoy the little victories where we can
How many times has the clip of Hillary-being-shoved-into-a-van been played? Some things can be savoured over and over!!”
Exactly!
It is music to my ears and my favorite song right now.
But he went to Ole Miss, home of the Closet Leftists that infect the State. Pretend to be “conservative”, but their personal politics reads like Friedrich Engel.
Good deal now the truth bending fact fumbler can go to CNN he and Lemon can take turns sitting on each others lap while one reads the BS reports.
I for one would never turn on Fox News in the afternoon, not until four oclock....it was pretty oblivious what he was for.
Neil needs to follow. He a ShepHard cuck.
What I’d like to know is how you can stomach going to that fudge-packer’s website?
Neil Cavuto is an effing idiot if he thinks Smith was a fine newsman.
I think Fox News has more house cleaning to do.
Yeah, her can buy a new condo in Provincetown, Greenwich Village, Fire Island, Rehoboth Beach, DuPont Circle DC, San Francisco, and Miami Beach!
Cavuto... needs to go next...
He’s unwatchable. Why he came over from cnbc, where he was home with his fellow lefties, is beyond me.
If he does leave, I hope he takes his punk gasparino with him.
the last few years, I have noticed that Smith
was expressing his “queer” opinions more and more.
As a result , I stopped watching him!
1. His ratings sucked
2. Him And gay judge Nap vs. high rated Tucker wasn't smart
3. Looks like old Shep tried to pull a Matt Lauer on another dude!
He’ll show up at CNN next week (90%) or MSNBC (10%).......just watch.......
