Fox News host Shep Smith on Monday dispelled the deflection President Donald Trump uses whenever he gets confronted about his controversial call with the Ukrainian president, during which Trump reportedly pressured the president to investigate 2020 rival Joe Biden.
Shep Smith fired in 3…2…
“Fox News Host Shep Smith: Trump’s Ukraine Call Is ‘The Real Issue Here,’ Not Biden”
No shit.
The news here is that, lo, there is someone at Fox who is not a complete jackass – although that person’s tenure there might be short.
I dunno. He’s been there quite a while. I remember him ripping W over Katrina in 2005, and he wasn’t new then.
Shep gets credit for being brave enough to tell the truth on FoxNews—a revolutionary event.
I hope he has another job waiting somewhere.
Shep’s been doing this regularly for a long time now, gang. I think his job’s safe enough. And he’s not the only news person at FOX who’s flipped a bird right in Trump’s face. They intend to be around when he’s gone, and it makes sense.
Alas, his job is secure. He give the rest of them cover because you can’t say there are no journalists at Fox.
Dubya didn’t command Pravda-level Loyalty.
More people need to Google the term “foil”.
Shep’s the Margaret Dumont of Fox.
Shep gets it. The issue is Trump’s abuse of power.
If he can see it so clearly, why can’t others in the media? Looking at you Ken Vogel. And it should be a basic concept for Republicans to understand -but then again, Kevin McCarthy thinks Putin owns Trump and doesn’t much care. Democrats need to brand Republicans as fundamentally unpatriotic. They would and have done that many times to Democrats.
Shep’s just called a spade a shovel and hit Trump over the head with it.
The Faux minions must have heads exploding.
I’ve been captive under the Fox television at the gym for a while now, and I’m impressed with his truth telling. He’s consistent.
I’m googling it, Irasdad, but when I enter Fox and foil, I just get this:
“The real issue here is the phone call,” Smith said…
and I’m sure it will be, for one lonely hour of Fox programming.
I saw [her] first. Of course, her mother really saw her first but there’s no point in bringing the Civil War into this.
It is getting to be time for those who have been holding Trump up above being held responsible for his actions to start thinking of their own hides. When the dam starts to leak, watch out below. It won’t be long before the flood carries off everything in its path.
Mrs. Claypool, Mr. Gottlieb, Mr. Gotlieb, Mrs. Claypool…
How exciting that we are going to get an impeachment to talk about at Thanksgiving!
Normally, it’s just your everyday celebration of gluttony coupled with Native American genocide.
But this year, we’ll have an extra reason to mainline Tequila-laced eggnog sitting next to Uncle Frank!
Nope.
he adds needed legitimacy to Fox News
his memoir would come out early. The Murdochs want it to come out later.
any normal news org (including TPM) would hire him in a minute. Doubling down: “Grady’s Cold Brew proudly sponsors The Shep Smith Podcast’.”
