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 is Smith going to mince his way over to MSNBC or CNN?
Perhaps Shep has hots for CNN reporter Acosta. Give Shep a break. He is just coming to the aid of his crush.
“It wasn’t a shouting match; the only person shouting was the CNN’s Democratic operative”

That is exactly right.
CNN went with an unverified story from Buzzfeed and they deserved what they got.
The news media is like a bunch of sorority girls who get jealous when they finally realize they are not the prettiest girls on campus.
Who watches Shep? Send him out the same door MEgyn left out of.
OMGOSH...please warn me next time...I just got salad all over the keyboard and screen!!! ROFL...post of the day!!!

McCain said he gave info to the feds so that’s one source.
Thanks...Glad to hear that.
Did he say it from a parking lot?
Don’t get all teary, Shep. Your mascara will run.
Shep getting ready for his boyfriend.
Little Shep is a queer. Most queers are liberal and belong to the Democrat party. Queers loved “the bitch.”
Now, is it any wonder the little faggot puts out an article like this against Trump?
Sweet!!!
They can split hairs and claim innocence all they want, but CNN flamed the fires.
Guilty in our minds. I hope it was worth it for an organization that is already the least trusted.
