http://winningdemocrats.com/shep-smith-may-be-leaving-fox-news-refuses-to-lie-for-trump-video/Shep Smith must be awfully anxious to see his contract at Fox News come to an end. As the only person there with any kind of moral compass, it has to be difficult to consistently report a one-sided agenda formulated by the corporate elite to keep the masses of conservative dimwits believing the propaganda Fox is selling.
When reporting on the Commander-In-Chief forum disaster held on NBC by Trump apologist and sellout Matt Lauer, Smith refused to toss out the talking points he was handed by his bosses and instead told the truth:
It truly is just that simple. Trump said, I supported the war. In no way does that translate to I didnt support the war. It just doesnt. Shep is right that it would be career suicide to report such nonsense, but since his other cohorts at Fox dont seem to care, he must be considering life after working for the Republican partys lie machine.

Not to worry. I hear Ron Burgundy's available.

(40,232 posts)1. I remember him crying and getting angry with the reporters in the studio
when he was reporting about the tragedy in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. They were blowing him off. He was yelling at them "These people need help!"
I don't know why he didn't quit then.

This idea that he's somehow better than the rest of them is nonsense.

But for the life of me, I cannot fathom how a gay man could possibly work for that network.
