Fox Rebel Shep Smith Humiliates Trump Over Map. Trump Complains To Fox.

The last semi-honest journalist at Fox News, Shep Smith, did an epic smack-down of Trump's stupid fake hurricane map. Apparently Trump was not amused, and called Fox White House reporter John Roberts into his office today and gave him a spanking over Fox's apparent disloyalty to him. How Smith still has a job at Fox is beyond me. He must have some dirt on Rupert Murdoch.

He is the counter reality to the rest of the station. So, I have heard. I don't watch the channel, I have seen clips and hear what people say.

7. He is what enables the network to claim some measure of legitimacy as an impartial news organization

. . . Which is to say, he provides cover for them. In that sense, he should b e seen as an enabler.

4. That's what's happening, yes. But your statement implies 'intent.'

There's no strategy behind this. He's just mentally ill, and has no ability to control what he says or does. And the MSM is apparently even worse, because they're concentrating on this shiny object, while letting the real news go under the radar. You're absolutely right about that.

And most of the Congressional Democrats are to blame, too, for being too feckless and spineless to do their jobs. Absolutely true.
