Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is leaving the network he has been a part of since it launched in 1996

One of the most visible on-air personalities at the cable news network, Mr. Smith was seen as one of the hard-news voices of the network. Besides hosting a daily program, he was managing editor of breaking news as well.

Last month, Messrs. Smith and Carlson took aim at each other. Mr. Carlson was critical of remarks Fox News contributor Andrew Napolitano made on Mr. Smith’s show about Mr. Trump’s legal situation following news that the president in a July phone call pressed the president of Ukraine to investigate the son of former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Shepard drank the cool aid of the left and is no longer relevant on a truthful news outlet. I’m sure CNN will snap him up.

Is this not a sign that USA is turning into a autocracy? The Attorney General ordered the owner of state TV to remove a journalist critical of the President. Next step will be imprisonment of journalists just like his pal Erdogan.

It’s time

Shep you were a misfit ! You need to apply to MSNBC , CNN or the 100 s of fake news . You will be welcomed there . RIP

Barr + Murdoch

Funny, many people seem to believe they know why he’s leaving and it’s because he doesn’t like fox. Fact is Shep didn’t say why he’s leaving and no one knows why he’s leaving. So stop talking out of your ass, wish the man luck and shut the hell up!

Great news. Glad to see him gone.

Oh man... where will I get my ‘fair and balanced’ news from now?

My money is on Bret Baier to take Smith’s place——and he’ll do a better job.

I’m sure Fox will see a huge drop in ratings during his time slot. Not!

Shep and Chris, the two who hold honor to be important. Now down to one the dark side just became darker .

Sorry to hear. Shep is a rarity on fox striving to bring unbiased news to his audience. Could it be coincidence that this follows our Attorney General Barrs visit with Murdoch No reason for me to tune in now.

Fox News Anchor Shepard Smith Steps Down After Murdoch and Barr Meeting

He was there about 20 years too long.

after intervention from the DOJ

Foxnews May actually manage to get worse now.

My happy feet are crazy dancing today. His views have become to radical for Fox viewers and it was time for him to go.

Only yes men can work at the state-run 'news' outlet.

Fox just got a little bit better today

ShepNewsTeam IS GONE.

The Cubs offered him a job!!!!

Barr did Donny's bidding once again.

Let me guess--after 20+ years making what, bare minimum $1M per year, he's a victim of the big mean bosses at Fox?

That’s too bad. It always seems to be the good people that get pushed out. Which blond sycophant will get his time slot?

Why is he leaving? I imagine all the speculation from the left. Fox is a network much more objective than CNN and MSNBC having people from both political party present when discussing an issue.

Wont be missed

No why?! He is only reason why I watch fox!!!

I hope he got a big payoff. They dont deserve him.

Good riddance.

Their loss.

He anchored the lowest rated show on FoxNews. Also the loyal viewers choose TuckerCarlson

Good man. One FoxNews show that I could still watch .... GodSpeedShep

I wonder what he was doing there in the first place. He is too decent to among those wolves. And too handsome to mix with people like Hanity

Excellent journalist and one of the VERY FEW fair and unbiased voices at FOX. He was really their ONLY hope for a future, which in a year WILL NOT include Trump.

Who's taking Shep Smith's place? David Duke would make Trump happy.

1A is dead Died when Trump sent Barr to tell Murdoch to shut up his anchor.... Shep said NO

Next to go Chris Wallace

Coincidence, that Barr met with Rupert Murdoch last night?

Quick... CNN grab him and put him in your line up... see how much lower tour ratings can go!!

Ask your owner about it.

That's 1029 members of the progressive swamp & counting

I watch Fox News for therapeutic therapy. I find them humorous and entertaining.

He was the best on Fox. My goodness, what a profound loss. So very, very sad.

After their nice lunch meeting, Murdoch followed Barr’s orders to have him removed. Watch out unkompromised (sic.) WSJ journalists. You’re next.

Yippee

Hero ShepSmith

I don't blame him one bit. That opinionated dumpster fire of a network isn't worth his integrity.

Good riddance

CNN or MSNBC?

Wishing him all the very best

BUH BYE and good riddance

There goes fair and balance, they better change their slogan to Trump brown nose network

Barr had a word with Murdoch as they go full Nazi Propoganda

Newsflash: Fox news Poll for Impeachment shows 0% are supporting, a 51% decrease from last week

Was he appointed White House minion 362?

so glad!

Tired of the bullshit

... was useless anyway
