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.
I can’t watch him. I try from time to time but I just can’t stomach him. I turn it to something else immediately
He didn’t “press hard” he was a total jerk voicing over everyone else in the room including the PEOTUS.
Nope, no surprise at all.
Q. Why is Shep still at Fox?
A. Roger Ailes wasn’t interested in pinching his ass.
Shep needs to go.
I hear you. The wife and I eat lunch most of the time he’s on and once in a while she’ll turn to FNC if something is breaking, we most always go to another source if there is one.
These LIB asshats are insufferable. Why does anyone listen to anything they have to say about anything. Believe me...life is better not listening to them ever.
I honestly believe these Leftists need to be taken down in the same manner as they issue forth against REPUBLICANS.
A couple of these higher profiled creeps need to be outted, vetted, with opposition research on their activities, both personal and political, smears, etc.
The rest of these hyenas would fall in line and maybe go back to fair journalism.
They need to be Watergated, Borked and otherwise get as good as they’ve given.
How I hope he’s the next to go. Too bad no one in management made a pass at him so he could leave in a state of “outrage”.
This is why we don’t have FOX in our house, even with MEEEEEE-Gyn Kelly gone.
Shepturd Twit is, by any definition, a pissant.
Nikita Vladamirov. You can’t make this stuff up.
OMG !
She evidently had a face job while she was off. An inadvertent tight shot showed a puffy face, weird eyes, funny new sculpturing on the cheeks and chin...she looked awful, poor thing.
Another session or two of more plastisizing, she's gonna look like that Cat Lady, Jocelyn Wildenstein, or whatever her name is.
Leni
Why can’t someone sexually harass Shep? That way he’d leave and go to another network no one watches.
Here is the thing. It doesn’t matter if CNN didn’t release the salacious part of the report. The face this bullshit concocted 4chan fantasy, the two page dossier was attached to the rest of the report, which tells me it’s all exaggerated outright lies and unverifiable sources.
CNN is losing credibility by the minute.
Happy New Year FRiend!
(when does it become too late to wish that to people? The end of January?)
So; the little fag CHIMP SMITH is upset?
TOUGH SH!T.
Sooooo GROSS,,,,,
,,,true though
,,,,,, yuck
He's busy smelling men's bicycle seats and drops in to make these great pronouncements every so often.
Is RuePaul’s Drag Race back on the air?
