NEW YORK — Shepard Smith, whose newscast on Fox News Channel seemed increasingly an outlier on a network dominated by supporters of President Trump, says he is leaving the network.Smith has worked at Fox News Channel since the network started in 1996.
Smith says in a statement that he asked the company to let him leave. He gave no reason for the seemingly sudden decision. Smith anchored an afternoon newscast that often debunked some of the statements made by opinion hosts like Sean Hannity at night.
Ratings will not be effected by his loss. I bet they skyrocket in his old time slot.
What do you mean debunked? You mean actual facts don’t matter? Just saying that isn’t true is good enough to qualify it as debunked?
Leland needs to leave with Shep!
SHUT HIM UP!
You need to shut Leland up and LET HER ANSWER!
good shep don't let the door hit you on the way out.
MarthaSugalski No loss
Now ShepNewsTeam can go where he belongs - with the POTUS haters on a fake news network. GoodRiddance
His early years at Fox we’re his best. I used to watch his show a lot. But lately he just comes off as part of the angry mob that detests anything Trump.
Sure it had nothing to do with Barr meeting Murdoch?
So what if FOX opinion hosts disagreed with him
I liked him till he was so arrogant and rude to Chris Wallace
The best news ever......she is leaving....sorry him
POTUS said “He makes grown men cry!😢”.... Guess Shep made🤭 realDonaldTrump 😭 😭a lot! wa wa wa👶🏻🍼 straight to Daddy rupertmurdoch
Closet Democrat
So that meeting between Bill and Rupert went well
Journalism is dead! Right OR left.....
Entertainment It's got to be draining having to always report on the Republican lies.
WAHOOOOO! Now maybe we will actually get the truth (instead of a CNN REGURGITATION!) But since RINO, Paul Ryan is on the Fox Board now - I won't hold my breath. DrainTheSwamp in politics & MSM. POTUS FoxNews
Fox turns full parody
To a great career - here, here CyaShep
Fox was 94 % propaganda. Now it’s 99.7 % propaganda.
Hope he plans on writing a book about FOX, he'll make more money than he did over 23 years working for 'faux news'.
A man of integrity where none exits at the Murdoch press
One of the few Real Men Fox is leaving.
Fox News IQ points just fell to lower lows
Shepard is not stepping down. He was fired. Why? Low Ratings. That's what happens when people don't watch.
Good, we were tired of turning off our TV’s when he came on.
This just in.... who gives a fuck, that’s all thank you. Now back to the real news!
And there goes the last if they ever had some kind of credibility.
Great news.
Means he was forced out. DONE. BYE. Expect indictment in the future. Fox still garbage
Shows fox's priorities. Reporter tells the truth. Opinion hosts distort it. Solution, fire the reporter.
Will not miss Shepherd Smith and his anti Trump rhetoric one bit. He will more than likely now end up with CNN, where they will welcome him with open arms.
God is good
Anybody else notices that we are slowing breaking down democracy to a dictatorship. Barr shutting down anyone on Fox who thinks for themselves. Fox becoming a propaganda station, Republicans staying silent and afraid to speak against Trump. Trumpers becoming sheep to Trump....
At what point do you drop the false moniker of 'news'. The fact is Fox is nothing but a propaganda channel. If Billy 'suckass' Barr did have anything to do with Smith leaving then it is now state run t.v.
Awe. Some.
Barr’s fingerprints all over this one!
About time but to late I gave up tv years ago.
This is why Barr was talking to Rupert Murdoch.
Shep was 75% of the integrity that Fox News had. One or two more people leaving will make Fox a better funded OAN
I heard from a Whistleblower that the current model Shep has a recall notice going out... couldn't happen to a nicer...clone.
Bring on ShannonBream to host that slot!
Good riddance! I am sure they will have a chair for you with the other zombies on MSNBC. That’s after you serve your time for whatever you did to get booted off the air ShepNewsTeam .
Fake news chef made statements that were later debunked
There goes the last reason to watch Fox News. They can’t even pretend to be “fair and balanced” anymore. ShepardSmith AgentOrange
What took him so long?
He is being pushed out because he hasn’t been licking Comrade Bone Spurs shoes enough. Faux News is despicable.👎
Trump is ecstatic.
Paul Ryan, you were impotent as speaker of the house and you’re just as impotent on the board of Fox “News”. Once again you have failed to protect America against the propaganda and control of the Trump White House
Hopefully taking reams of paper to work on his book.
He was legit - hope he goes to a real news network now.
Hope he doesn't have too much integrity to write a tell all book.
“Disagreed with” isn’t the same as “debunked”
He didn’t debunk anything! He’s carried the water for democrats for 23 years. Good riddance!
sheperd me,and my mom love you.we'll follow you,whereever you go,whichever channel you go to,we'll follow you.
Respect. ShepardSmith
Sounds like China news,
Shep, your ratings suck and we won't renewing your contract. Shep: okay I'll step down.
Ask shepherd smith
Fantastic!
Please do not stay gone long we need people like you.
Good
Disagreeing is not debunking. Typical Fake News
Main stream media companies are just political PR firms disguised as news organizations.
Good. He didn't belong there, his opinions and viewpoints didn't align with any of the Trumpists. He is also gay, which must've been uncomfortable being surrounded by people who probably think lowley of you.
Will miss you reporting on fox from otherside of pond.
Somewhere I hear barr was talking with with fox news owner?🤔
Purely a coincidence that Barr met with Rupert Murdoch yesterday.... 🙄
Sheperd Smith would've (& still could be) a popular left wing 'OPINION' host..BUT..as 'Chief News Anchor' his editorializing was out of line..and dead wrong..just as it is at the other networks..Goodbye & good luck, Shep.
How can you sleep at night filling this article with so many opinions? Where is your journalistic integrity?
Humpty Dumpty was pushed!
😪
Shepard Smith, a critic of Trump, quits days after Trump sent AG Barr to meet with Murdoch. We have a President forcing foreign Countries to get dirt on his political opponents and a Attorney General attacking CEO of a Major media Company to stop negative comments about Trump.
Shep never really debunked anything, he made a counter argument. That isn’t a debunking in of itself, just a disagreement on facts..
See ya! Don’t let the door....
Good riddins 👍
MSNBC here he comes
Why isn’t Fox News marketed as entertainment for racist? It’s not news. Racist people hate facts and well reality in general.
Very sad. 😥
Turkey almost killed the US soldiers in Syria that Trump said don’t even exist. Trump has betrayed the US military just as he has betrayed their Kurdish partners.
AP sounding more like Vice everyday
Guess we know why Barr met with Murdoch this week...
ByeByeLoser ByeByeCupcake
And nothing of value was lost.
A mere coincidence that this came just a day and a half after the Barr-Murdoch meeting?
And reality often debunked Shepard Smith, who pushed debunked conspiracy theories and other FakeNews. Good riddance.
Is Shepard Smith really guiting?
Leaving the dark side!!!
Shep Smith is not just leaving or stepping down as you would like your views to believe, instead Smith was straight up fired for both his Rachel Maddow low ratings and left wing extremist views.
With Barr having visited Faux, this is not a surprise.
Off to Clinton News Network (CNN). Besides Lisa Boothe has earned her own time slot.
Samuels1028 Whoo hoo!! 🎉🎊🍾
I’m shocked!
The day after realDonaldTrump has his lackey Barr meet Murdoch.. Nothing to see here. Move along
No surprise after BillBarr and MikePompeo met with Murdoch !!!
Ty
I wonder what the terms of his non-compete agreement are.
Debunked? Hahahahahahaha Yeah, no.
Wonder why? Maybe a recent visitor Murdoch had yesterday has something to do with it? Transparent as hell.
He was good at one point but he let his distaste of realDonaldTrump show. Journalists are to report news, not report their personal opinions.
Barr convinced Murdoch to can Shep Smith, the guy who unapologetically reported the truth, before Shep was able to deliver the full unadulterated Ukraine story.
We’ve been waiting!
News integrity goes down another notch at FOX. Coincidental to this week's Barr:Murdoch meeting?
The only one who didn't regurgitate state propaganda lies.
Fox News is often hard to watch. Constant hate and anger toward any critics
You left out about his leftest bias and error filled reporting.
Maybe they should have wrecked his car like, Trebecks' and Bears' !!!
the only real reporter on that network
Isn’t this typically how authoritarian regimes are run? Asking for a friend....🙄🙄🙄
Finally good riddance
For Shep to “debunk” opinion hosts, he would have to been correct on the facts. He was not. Your statement is misleading.
Barr.
😄
CNN cnnbrk ABC NYTMetro So two days ago, AG Barr met with Murdoch. Neither side commented on agenda. Today Shep Smith has gracious farewell. Coincidence? maddow
Shepard was an opinion host masquerading as a straight news host.
The only one left is chris Wallace..
He’s gonna writeca book! Bet.
foxfakenews is now purely seditionists spouting trumpcultpropoganda?
Only journalist that I respected. See ya soon on another network Shep.
You mean he lied. She Smith was a liar.
Now we now what Murdoch and Barr we’re talking about... this is soooo f’d up.
Let’s watch and see how long Napolitano and Wallace last. Do you think Barr’s meeting with Murdoch had anything to do with this?
He and Wallace the only guys that gave that network a whiff of credibility...
Barr visits Rupert then Shep is pushed out. Barr may need a lawyer (perhaps Rudy)
Adios
It’s called low ratings. No one watched him. Similar situation to CNN.
Bye bye asshole
This...after Barr’s meeting with Murdoch. Coincidence?
Leftist and AP (same thing) ‘he was the voice of reason at Fox’ Shepard Smith:
