Former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith has emerged to issue a verbal slam of his former employer Fox News.

According to The Daily Wire:

Speaking with Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, Shep Smith appeared to slam Fox News — his former employer — as he explained why he decided to leave the network after 23 years, describing to CNN how his presence on Fox was “untenable as opinion shows on the network spread falsehoods that hosts knew were lies.”

Smith joined Fox News in 1996 when the organization was founded, and left in October 2019 in the middle of a three-year contract. He now hosts “The News with Shepard Smith,” on CNBC. Speaking with Amanpour, Smith was asked whether Fox News “perpetuated so many of the divisions, the lies, the conspiracies,” with the goal of becoming “the propaganda arm of the Republican Party.”

Smith issued this quote during the interview: “I don’t know how some people sleep at night… I know that there are a lot of people who have propagated the lies and have pushed them forward over and over again who are smart enough and educated enough to know better.”

Fox News is currently in a reshuffle that has many wondering about the future direction of the network especially since many conservatives are looking elsewhere for news.
