    Yeah I know he told the truth. Can't have that. The child in the White House won't stand for it.

    I don't usually agree with your posts, but that was funny! :roflol:

    Credit where it's due, from a fellow smartass.

    Not if Fox is your only news source. Hopefully it isn't.

    Didn't Rupert turn it over to his son Lachlan? I've heard a couple of rumors that Lachlan, who always locked horns with Roger Ailes over content, has less rabid right wing leanings and would like to make Fox a more respected news source. I guess we'll see.

    Do you reckon he'll start a meetup with Brian Williams and Dan Rather?

    Crazier things have happened. Bill Clinton met with the AG on an airstrip the day before the decision to indict his wife was made.

    But that's just a "conspiracy" like this right?

    No, that was stupid on the part of Mr. Smarmy, and it was the right thing to do when Lynch immediately recused herself from all involvement with that investigation.

    Sure, but the white house just made a call to the next one. The white house protected who the DNC wanted to run in 2016. Just like Trump got smith fired apparently.

    That timeslot has always been the hard news period and Smith was supposed to he a hard news anchor. It seems since Trump was elected he turned it into the I hate Trump report and even going after his fellow on air personalities and commentators. He is not a journalist. He may want to become one now on another network.

    A news anchor should be like all the one world Republic types, and Commie Pinko lovers, we never knew what they were till they retired and Yachted with the commie Clintons...; Shepard Smith can't open his mouth without the inflection injecting his opinion in every story, he belongs on MSNBC or CNN. The shows in the morning like that RINO on CNN and at night on the Foxy Blonde Legs Channel ARE NOT NEWS, they are opinion. Like Madcow, She is not a NEWS ANCHOR. If I want opinion I'll tune at night, news, tell me it like Brinkley or Cronkite...or a host of the old guys that could keep their opinion out of every fracking story.

    You must not listen to any of the night time Fox or MSNNBC political talk show hosts because if you did you would know that first I will list Fox are just talking heads:
    Shaun Vannity ( hides as Shea
    Tucker Carson
    Laura Ingraham
    Mark Levin
    O'Reily (gone)
    Jerry Rivvers ( hides as Geraldo Rivers)
    Others are who cares

    MSNBC
    Rachel Madcow ( hides as Rachel Maddox)
    Chris Mathews
    Lawrence O'Donnel
    Chris Hayes trained by Madcow but not hysterical
    Nicole Wallace
    My Favorite since my viewing is flipping between CNN and MSNBC is the Emperor of the morning politics Joe Scarborough who I wanted to run for Senator or Governor in Connecticut.
    Keith Obermann - thank God gone into some cesspool somewhere

    So if you want to accuse anyone of claiming these gebonees were news casters you need to bring proof. BTW you lost my respect and any form of credibility when you just spout out "commie, pinkos" just because you disagree with someone. There are Commies and pinko but you will never recognize them if you call 20% of the human population Commies and pinko. My family knew real communists in fact my grandfathers were sent to Siberia by Russians/Communists. I hate to but I must tell you that in my opinion you have not displayed any knowledge of who or what is a communist or a pinko or a socialist.

    Calling Smith a liberal and/or a Trump "hater" is not a fact it is an opinion which you as well as I have every right to have. My opinion is that your opinion is wrong about Smith. Just because one disagrees with someone does not make the one who disagrees a hater.

    I'm sure our POTUS would say the same of you.

    Good riddance, Shep, even though I never watched him.

    Too bad for our POTUS and his minions I don't give a **** what he says about me. Obviously Trumpservatives aren't as thick skinned as me. Almost as if they have become snowflakes emulating their spineless messiah. LOL

    I already explained to you I'm not a Trumpservative, so I don't cry and go asking for someone to coddle me as our POTUS and minions do.

    I used to think he was neutral but he is subtly biased. Truth is I think FOX has shifted a bit left.

    I have said it many times on this forum.

    Shepard Smith use to be a class A journalist reporter on Fox News.
    Nothing more than Who, What, Why, When and Where.

    But the day Shep came out of the closet was the day he abandoned journalism and started opining and commenting on the news.

    I've also have posted more than a few times on this forum that Shep wanted a gig over on CNN because he has goo goo eyes for Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon.
