He mentioned something about not being able to work anywhere else for a while. I guess he got a really, really, really good severance package. Seems so convenient to get him out of the way at this time.
likely a no compete clause in contract, probably a year or 2 before we see him elsewhere.

Awesome! Hoping Juan Williams is next and that Donna (here's the questions Hillary) Brazile follows him out the door.

Yep! You gotta make sure there is only one opinion on fox and all tv show hosts push the same narrative! /eye roll


I wonder what you’d say if cnn got rid of their conservative pundits?

Watching Fox News is exactly like the watching of Tammy Faye Baker on the PTL CLUB back in the 80's.
Tammy Faye was so awful, so crazy, so unbelievably that you couldn't help but watch.
The same goes for Fox News,
Fox is so terrible, so awful, so insanely unbelievable that you can't help but tune in to watch the comedy.
Now, Fox can be even more crazier and insanely unbelievable, just like Donald Trump.
Fox could save a lot of money by simply broadcasting 24/7 a line of bobble heads on a shelf with the soundtrack TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP.
The perfect Fox News channel that Donald envisions.

BTW.... if anyone is into streaming live TV instead of going cable or satellite, SlingTV doesn't carry Fox news.
No wonder SlingTV is number one in the live TV streaming market.

I'm kinda scared of what FNC will turn into without Shep.

I’m trying to think but nothing is coming to mind.

Tucker Carlson too right? With all the crazy conspiracy theories he comes up with it's amazing he has an audience. It is hard to believe people are that brain dead.

Old walrus stash is looking for a new gig. Maybe pair him up with the guy who cracked Capone's vault to fill in for Shep.

Right after Murdoch met with AG Barr. Purely coincidental, I am sure.

Means they are full steam ahead on becoming Trump's fake news factory to try and save his impeachment and presidency.

The way the right kowtows to lying, cheating, failing Trump is truly pathetic.

Grow some fucking balls then some brains you whimpering cvnts.

You mean state run media?

Shep was their only real newscaster. Fox "news" needs to find something to come after the word Fox. I'm thinking propaganda but some of their watchers may actually have a dictionary or know how to use a search engine. LOL, I'm just kidding. Fox Propaganda it is.

This occurrence is actually a lesson for us all.
Once again for most of us, however for some this was their first time at witnessing the full wrath of Donald Trump in its purest form.
Aired live on TV we seen just how Donald Trump can destroy whomever Donald Trump chooses.
My god, Trump is truly satan, and the Christians simply a tool fulfilling biblical prophesy i.e. "millions will be deceived". Millions of deceived Christians, that is.
Poor Mr Smith, poor Christians, poor America.

So THIS is how Donald Trump operates.
If and when Donald Trump ever finds his PERFECT WORLD by bulling people, belittling people, belittling our institutions, belittling our constitution, and the belittling of the very fabric that built America, then so much for him.
Donald Trump belittles our patriots, belittles our heroes, belittles our morals, belittles our freedom of speech and freedom of thought.
Dare anyone say one discouraging word against Donald Trump, LOOK OUT!!!

It's has come to the point that should anyone dare give the appearance or hint of disapproval either by who they associate with, hang out with, might talk with, or what they read or watch on TV, Donald Trump will take note and seek his revenge.
Shepard Smith is just another example of how Donald Trump operates. And Donald Trump operates exactly as some organized mob leader would operate.
When someone steps out of line, wack-em.
Either wack-em yourself, or send out one of your loyal hit-men to wack-em.

The terrifying thing we have here is the seemingly endless supply of Donald Trump hit-men.
One after another his people go bye bye as was the case with Jeff Sessions, yet then comes along William Barr. The evil never ends.
An seemingly endless supply of Trump loyalist, all devoted to Donald Trump, and devoted to only Donald Trump.

Shepard Smith is a good lesson to take note of.
We experienced just how Donald Trump operates, the endless depths of his powers, and how everything in his path is totally disseminated.
Occurrences like Shepard Smith is not about Shepard Smith per se, we should not miss the big picture here.
What is really going on.

One of the last bastions of truth coming from that network. He tried to keep it real but lost to all the propagandists. I was a fan of his because he tried.

Very little I suspect. To me at least it seems they were giving Shep a loose leash over the last couple of years. Unfortunately, the hypnotized true believer viewers probably did not like him.

If a right winger gets fired for saying something that isn't PC the righties on this forum go nuts.

When a right winger gets fired for reporting facts and not agreeing with the president we here crickets.

I apologize for the long rant above.
I forgot, its only Fox News we're talking about.
So who really gives a crap?
Its not like anyone takes Fox seriously, including Fox.
