Fox News anchor Shepard Smith on Wednesday criticized President-elect Donald Trump for his shouting match with a CNN reporter.
Trump refused to take a question from CNN's Jim Acosta during a Wednesday news conference, berating him and accusing his network of reporting "fake news." The confrontation came after CNN reported that intelligence officials briefed Trump about Russia having compromising information on him — a report Trump denied.
"President-elect Trump today told CNN's Jim Acosta the his organization amounts to fake news. CNN's exclusive reporting on the Russian matter was separate and distinctly different from the document dump executed by an online news property," Smith said during his closing monologue.
"Though we at Fox News cannot confirm CNN's report, it is our observation that its correspondents followed journalistic standards and that neither they nor any other journalists should be subjected to belittling and delegitimizing by the president-elect of the United States," Smith added.
During the press conference, Trump continuously refused to let Acosta ask him a question.
"You're attacking us, can you give us a question?” Acosta asked.
"Don't be rude. No, I'm not going to give you a question. You are fake news," Trump responded, before taking a question from a Breitbart News reporter.
When Fox reported that Hillary collapsed, CNN viciously attacked Fox.
Shut up, Nancy-boy.
jaz......maybe Shemp will be the next celebrity to exit Fox.....go for it Shemp.
really getting tired of the fifth column.
Sheppie and Faux News is only slightly better than Buzzfeed News (AKA CNN).
Slightly better. And I’m being generous here.
Pride of Oxford
Shep needs to be the next at Fox to head out the door. CNN would be the perfect place for that blithering idiot.
Who the hell takes a mascara wearing ‘male’ seriously ?
Media is out of control and proudly still showing zero tolerance for patriots pushing back.
Totalitarians own and dominate the media and are at war with the Republic.
GAY MASCARA GIRLIE GUY, Sheppie. is a JOKE for a JOURNALIST!!! FOX is SCARED of FIRING A FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL!!
Maybe Sheppie should put on a pair of Me-again’s big girl heels, and sashay over to NBC. He’d be a perfect fit.
Precisely
Shep Smith is such an unbelievable DOUCHE BAG..he is constantly kissing Obama’s rear ends its actually quite embarrassing
Shep is a skunk.
I was on FB earlier and people were quite upset with him but I did not know why. Now, I do.
Yep...If Shep and a few others followed Meagain Fox would be a lot better off.
