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.
He's a liberal...just acting like a Conservative....
I predict he will flee to NBC, ABC, NBC, CNN....soon.
I say...good riddance.
It is us who can't see straight.
No one asked your opinion, fruity. I’m HIV positive that no one on planet Earth cares what you think.
You media scum need to understand that this President is not gonna eat your dung and smile like Jeb Bush would. Treat him like your enemy and he will do likewise.
“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.
...
Jounalistic standards. LOL!
Who does Shep think these fake news folks are - Hillary Clinton?
The Donald is a sh*tlord of the highest order; the diseased slores will learn this...or not.
