In reply to the discussion: Trump supporters on Twitter are demanding that Fox News fire Shepard Smith [View all]Cha
(295,899 posts)39. Thanks.. Wow! Spoken like a fair minded reporter who's into reality!
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is under fire for criticizing President's Trump's treatment of CNN reporter Jim Acosta and his refusal to answer questions about his campaign's ties to Russia.
"It's crazy what we're watching every day," Smith said after Trump's press conference on Thursday. "It's absolutely crazy. He keeps repeating ridiculous, throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we're some kind of fools for asking the question. Really? Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening and we're fools for asking the questions? No sir."
"We have a right to know," Smith added. "You call us fake news and put us down like children for asking questions on behalf of the American people."

I've liked Shep ever since his Katrina coverage, which was very impressive.
