Actually, they did according to Brian Stetler.  And Smith left because he was the only real journalist left at FOX and just couldn't stand dealing with all the Trump "sycophants". https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/11...ard-smith/index.html----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

I haven't heard yet, but has anyone announced which other network he's landing at? No way he's walking away from the limelight willingly at this age. CNN maybe? I'd love that, because I don't even know what channel that is on my set, so I'd never. see. him. again. ever. ETA: just reread and saw the no compete clause.

I feel great that I changed channels instead of enduring his final broadcast but I might have kept on watching if I had only known it was his swan song. Color me conflicted  Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

I have never see Smith's show not ever, so I guess I won't miss him too much.  Rod "Do not approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction." John Deacon, Author I asked myself if I was crazy, and we all said no. | |||

And then, there's this: MSNBC guest claims it's 'explicit' that White House dictated Shepard Smith ousting at Fox Don't you love the hypocrisy? "Fox is state TV." This, coming from MSNBC, a network which absolutely worships Barack Obama and which used every tool in its propaganda tool kit to get Hillary Clinton elected! So, three possibilities here- That was really odd. And then the President, as he does always at these rallies, lambasting the "Fake News". What if there was a subtle message in all of that? What if the message was "That's a nice news orgnization you got there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it." Because Fox might then find themselves named explicitly as "Fake News" by the President. What effect might that have on their viewership and therefore their ratings and therefore their financial bottom line? Notice, also that this week, President Trump openly praised OANN. If you were a FoxNews executive, what might you make of this? If any pressure was applied to the Murdochs, this is how it was done. Think about it. Why the praise for FoxNews from both the President and his son? Not only the poll would suggest that their attitudes would be the opposite of what the two of them displayed Thursday night, but also President Trump's direct criticism of Fox earlier this week, via his Twitter account. He was quite direct in his remarks, and named this jerk Smith as one of the reasons. Also- just an observation- On the FoxNews website, the article they have about Shepard Smith leaving does not allow commentary. Most FoxNews articles do allow such commentary from registered users on that site. Isn't it deliciously ironic that when discussing Smith, there's no flaming allowed?  | |||

I missed Don Jr’s speech, but now that you mention it, I did have a bit of a “that’s weird, because they don’t really seem to be on team Deporables” when he was praising Fox, and it also caught my attention when he spoke highly of OANN, Fox’s direct competition for the conservative viewership. I see your third scenario making a ton of sense. And honestly, that’s probably the best way to play it. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

I don't put a lot of weight on the effect of the Fox News 51% disapproval poll on President Trump--he typically doesn't care much what polls indicate (nor do I). flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Are you kidding?? He mentioned that poll specifically in his complaints about Fox. Donald Trump is and has been in the fight for his life and this nation, and you can bet your bottom dollar that he seethed when he saw that shit, because it didn't come from the likely sorurces. That poll came from a supposed ally, one of his only allies in the media. Come on. Betrayal doesn't come from one's enemies, and the President most certainly saw that bullshit poll as a betrayal, and rightly so. Donald Trump knows the poll was illegitimate. That is the problem. | |||

Wondering if there’s not another reason he left. Maybe there’s a MeToo allegation coming out. Or something else he doesn’t want to face head on. Quit before being asked to leave. | |||
