Fox News staffers worry Shepard Smith's departure will further push out facts
CNN ^ | Oct. 12, 2019 | Brian Stelter

As soon as Shep Smith signed off Fox News on Friday, he rode down a freight elevator to the underground garage where a car and driver were waiting. His departure was emotional enough as is -- he didn't want a tearful goodbye in his studio or the newsroom.

He knew his colleagues would have questions and concerns. The big question: What will Fox's news operation look like without him?

Among rank and file staffers and even some of the network's anchors, there is deep concern that the news side of Fox will be further squeezed by the opinion shows that President Trump and his supporters prefer.

Good God. They're acting like he was Edward R. Murrow.

Nothing different! Shit Smith didn't report news, he opined with bias alongside liberals.

Yes, I think that is right. I got the 25 mill from my local paper, which is often inaccurate.

Shep lost me during the Katrina coverage. Glad to see him go.

Isn’t the GLBTqwerty community overrepresented among NEWS anchors?
Shep, Lemmon, Cooper, Muir. Who else?

"His departure comes at a tough time for this country," one of the staffers said. "We're going into an election that promises to be the most chaotic one we've ever seen. The President himself is on the verge of being impeached. We're heading into some uncharted territory here and without Shep to help reign in the chaos, I fear things are going to get much, much worse."
