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.



  1. Shepard Smith = A_HOLE RATS.without Fox news he would never have his today’s job. he’s a traitor_hole.

    1. fox a propaganda arm for the Republican party, And msmbc, abc, cbs, cnn & how many other lame street media news outlets ARE the Propaganda Arms for the DEMONRATS!!. He is a traitor As most of them on Fox are Also!! 50 million already DUMPED Fox !!

      1. Fox was a conservative network, the only one. They may ride their old ratings coattails for awhile, but why they think lurching left and being just like essentially everyone else is a successful plan is a mystery to me. The left will not stop hating them, and now the right will move elsewhere.

  2. Fox News, as Shep Smith knows full well, has taking a hike LEFT, and its talking heads (Juan Williams, Jessica Tarloff, Kennedy, et al.) have drunk the Kool-aid of the raging maniacs! I cannot even watch The Five anymore! Disgusting. Turning now to OANN. At least that source still knows what real news is.

    1. I’ve only ever watched Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham, Judge Jeanine, and Steve Hilton — occasionally Levin. And I will continue to do that. Most of their individual shows are doing well in the ratings. The way CNN is going liberal otherwise, it’s no wonder they’re tanking. And I would love to see President Trump start his own network as he mentioned one time, and take all of them with him!!

      1. Tucker is like a wreck-chasing lawyer. He works hard to create a series of splashes to shine for “Tucker”. the actual news be danged,
        Hannity exposed his REAL soul when he attacked Judge Moore and “gave” a conservative senate seat to to loathsome ultra-left demo.
        Ingraham disgusted me when she dedicated her entire hour to telling us to “suck it up” and just be thankful we had Trump for four years but it was now time to give our total support to the new administration.
        Judge Jeanine – altho I cannot blame her for wanting to keep her job – lost her zest when she came back as “yessuh massah” after being canned for making an ultra conservative remark.

      1. Actually, OANN and NewsMax are the only outlets – that I have found so far – that still presents “news” as “facts”. There are a couple of NewsMax spots I generally do NOT watch due to one-sided personal opinions.

        1. David, ever since I read that Newsmax donated thousands of dollars to Hillary I decided OANN was my first choice. They just give you the news without any ‘asides’….(blackbelt in Karate, washed dishes, etc.) Just the news and I can make up my own mind.

    2. I learned TWO things about OANN. 1) The entire thing, even when speakers are giving personal opinions, is based strictly on the news.
      2) If you miss something, keep tuned because OANN repeats. Now there is now a three. 3) OANN has EARNED trust as a dedicated conservative news outlet.

  3. You can always count on a liberal to project on conservatives EXACTLY what they themselves are doing 100% of the time. Shep was fired and landed where he should land, in the land of liberal garbage, CNN.

  4. That is so rich. Shep Smith the Anti Trump and Anti Conservative talks about lies and conspiracies as he spins lies and Conspiracies on CNB HEE HAW ! He is more than a joke he is bought and paid for by the Evil Left!

  5. That Shepard Smith is nothing but a leftwing airhead has no talent at all. Now he’s at CNBC slamming fox news and it’s highly qualified reporters. Who are more reliable on about the truth in politics than he does.

    1. Hey, y’all! Stop talking about the Shep as if he is sorta strange. He ain’t sorta strange! He’s just a little queer.

  6. Smith is just one of the reasons many have left FOX. I am just glad the A-wipe is out and since I do not watch CNN I will not see him again, I hope.

  7. So he is not bold enough to name the people he claims are perpetuating lies on the network that were so bad that he has to leave the network. If it bothered you so much wouldn’t you call them out and call out the lies? Nope? You know who makes claims like that for years on end without ever putting up any evidence? Democrats in Congress and the good folks at CNN and MSNBC, unless Shepard would like to tell us the facts around Russian Collusion, after all that derailed a President for 2.5 years.

    1. His kind is all over the internet: “Generic insults, Si! specifics, NO!”

      Specifics would put the lie to the generalities, and his kind knows that.

      Only an entity as powerful as Twitter can put out Big Lies about specifics. When they actually spelled out the two tweets by Trump that were the last straw, and spelled out the phoney baloney rationalization for why they were supposedly incendiary, they insulted the intelligence of just about everyone on the planet. [But of course, the Democratic party hacks love to have their intelligence insulted in that manner.]

      Twitter can get away with that sort of Big Lie, but small fry like Shep Smith HAVE to hide behind generalities.

      1. Perhaps I should add the standard disclaimer to my comments from time to time: these conclusions are my responsibility and do not have anything to do with any positions taken by the University of South Carolina.

  8. I’m going with Shep being fired because he could deal with the truth and wanted to join in on the bullshit stories of the Left and get closer to Anderson Cooper and boy toy Donny Lemon boy!

  9. When you wade through Smith’s BS and get down to it, it would more likely be that he didn’t “leave” FOX, FOX canned him.
    At least that’s how I see it.
    Smith was far, far to the left of where FOX was, so he “left”. Or, as I see it, he was “invited to find other employment”.

  10. Please take note that NONE of the leftists making allegations EVER back them up or tell you what it was the right leaning entities lied about – they cannot and will not back up anything – no backup + false statements – do not believe a word unless PROVEN otherwise with VERIFIED facts.

  11. Newsmax, OAN, and a few others still uphold the virtues that exemplify America. Shepdog smith is just one more of the swamp.

  12. shep smith thought people really liked his news program. Only person was shep to himself . He gave himself an A+

  13. Fox was a feature of growing up in CA in the 70’s. Dialing for dollars! And after school programing for kids, cartoons on the weekends. Fox was not founded in the 90’s. You must be talking about some form of restructuring? Yes, they did news too!

  14. shep slamed fox when he worked for them-he is just another maggot turn coat-smells like crap -looks like crap-probablyis crap

  15. Shepherd is just jealous because his liberal opinions and obvious disdain for President Trump didn’t go over with FOX viewers and his show was tanking. Nothing but sour grapes on his part, poor little Sammy.

  16. shep smith slamed fox when he worked for them-just another maggot like some of the others on fox-like chris wallace the largest back stabber in the country

  17. Smith was a left-wing twit that disgusted me with his coverage of Hurricane Katrina, and I quit watching him then. I would ignore anything he says.

  18. Why is it that people make broad criticisms like this and never give even one example. I’ll never believe anyone that does this because it just means they disagree and can’t prove any falsehoods.

  19. Once again, baseless accusations by another leftist. Nothing specific. No evidence. Just smears. If you have valid concerns, if you really believe someone has done something wrong, you make your claim, provide specifics and evidence. This is slander.

  20. Now he can be with the other Trump haters. I watched him years ago and he just reported the news. He did not shade it with his opinions. It is amazing that he has become so lacking in self-awareness. He will fit right in with the liars at CNBC. I doubt he gets much audience.

  21. “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.”

    Now I wonder why they’d being doing that? Hmmmm?

    As for Shep…who gives a S. He’ll try to justify how hard done by he is, no matter who asks him. I mean we’re talking Amanpour for crying out loud.

  22. Sounds like it’s EATING them ALIVE that President Trump has sooooooooooo much SUPPORT, sooooooooooooooo many SUPPORTERS, the GOOD people btw., and their world is CRASHING DOWN every single day because they ONLY have the MOB on their side, of whom are being PAID to LOOT and BURN Cities, even KILLING INNOCENT people…..!!!!! Just shows HOW TERRIBLE THEY all are AND I DON’T want NO part of THAT, NEVER in a MILLION years……!!!! These TYRANTS NEED to GO = to HE** that is….!!!!

  23. The Shep fool was actually bloviating exactly what the interviewer, a Leftist partisan hack (disguising as ‘Journalists’) and her network, CNN! “perpetuated so many of the divisions, the lies, the conspiracies,” with the goal of becoming “the propaganda arm of the DEM0NčRAT Party.”

  24. He seems so bitter and angry. As incredible as it seems, people have free choice. That’s exactly why socialists censor, suppress and try to criminalize opposition. Socialism can’t debate on a level platform. That’s why they must hide their goals.

  25. What say Smith about the repeated lies about the MOUNTAINS OF EVIDENCE against Trump during the first Impeachment hoax. When the time for the evidence came their Mountains appeared as depressions in the ground, not mountains.

  26. All the rubbish is going to the Garbage bin soon. Let the trump News Network arise and flourish. Brainwashed people trying to explain brainwashing? You have a whole generation or 2 or even 3 brainwashed with Communist rubbish from so called Educationalists

    1. Smith has wound up at possibly the only Network that hire him and only if he played along took shots at FOX. It’s typical of jerks who find themselves without a job.

  27. Yet lies are the standard operating tool of the Democrats, Socialists & Progressives!
    They just do a better job of lying than the Republican’s!!!
    They have had more years of experience in deception!!

  28. The fruitcake didn’t like the CONSERVATIVE FOX, he should have waited. The murdock “kids” have destroyed it and made it cnn. Just a commie libtard rag of no real news.

  29. I thought Shep Smith was a sorta strange when he was on FOX. Then I learned he was NOT sorta strange, but he was a little queer.

  30. Fox was not radical and liberal enough for him. He gave up his Mississippi upbringing when he went to the Big Apple. I stopped watching him when he showed a decided bias against Trump and his administration. He is truly a second rate news anchor really not good enough to have remained with Fox.

  31. First saw SMith during his laughable coverage of Katrina…..Never once did he actually tell the truth….. The Gov of LA and the Mayor of NO wanted to be in control of all the Hurricane $$$$$$$ … Would not allow Supplies to be stored etc… Each one of these hot shots “were in Charge”.. Never made one provision to shore up NO.. even whe they knew over a week it was going to HIT. Party Party Party. Smith went on a rant blaming Bush… Blame Bush did not deserve… Smith should know all about lying.. He was an architect for Iies/ distortion and he promoted every lie the Dems created.

  32. Hello all, shep the sheep, is just another disgruntled deep state employee.
    Instead of being grateful for all the money he made at Fox News he cries like a big baby.
    Maybe he should let some of the homeless live with him awhile to really appreciate how he got his start. How about someone at his new socialist camp, warm up another bottle of milk for him so he could stop crying!

  33. Now the lefties are losing viewership. They have to turn around and accuse good, opinion shows as being what they are. Hateful liars, hypocrites and propagandists.
    Get some billionaires and millionaires to invest in honest cable tv, social platforms, etc. Once rolling….. they will attract the patriots and keep the truth alive! Then with God and our prayers.. the truth will prevail. And One Nation under God will exist again!

  34. Most people have forgotten Sheppard Smith was ever on TV nobody watches his new show, nobody cares. Sheppard Smith is a miserable loser who is now a has been his show will be cancelled soon.

  35. I stopped watching Shep Smith a long time ago and I have since stopped watching Fox news. He is lying about Fox news lying and now instead of coming to the republican cause, Fox news is now lying about the republicans. Fox news can no longer be trusted and Shep Smith is a lying hack for the democrats.

  36. I forgot to mention that Christiane Amanpour is a disgusting hack for the democrats on CNN. I used to respect her until she started into saying lies and misinformation about Donald Trump. now I cannot stand her. She is an idiot. Every one on CNN is an idiot and not to be believed.

  37. Shep on a show and network that no one watches. Nobody cares what you think Shep. I love some of the people on Fox, like Waters, Gutfeld, and Levine. Fox needs to dump Paul Ryan and go back to their conservative point of view.

  38. Haven’t watched the loser Smith in 3 years and certainly haven’t missed his arrogant condescending voice. What a pod!

  39. They’ve been going down since they turned it over to the women. Women by nature are liberal and can’t help themselves. they are the ones who put Biden in the White House. and Fox is solidly in their camp now.

    1. Women may have been liberal by nature under one of the old definitions of “liberal,” but now we might best attach to Biden & co the word they prefer to “liberal”: “progressive,” albeit followed by a word they don’t want to attach: “radicals”.

      Fox’s women may not be radicals — yet — so I’m not going to label them anything, but just go on evaluating what they do.

      By the way, I’ve found Fox articles — not broadcasts — useful because they report things I haven’t seen elsewhere. One example is Biden getting the concept of Big Lie hilariously wrong — he thinks mere repetition is what makes a lie a Big Lie. Actually, the important feature is that it is something so wild, so implausible, that the average, decent person cannot imagine someone saying it unless it is really true. Hence the success of the Big Lie technique, which radicals are so good at.

  40. What lies? Tell us something other than “untenable as opinion shows on the network spread falsehoods”. Sounds like, ” I don’t like Fox so the option is to say they lie…”. Take that with a grain of salt. The network he works for is always lying so to save CNBC he concocts the artificial lie story. Takes one to know one or how. The liar network lies again.

  41. Shep Smith is speaking about himself and colleagues at CNN. Talk about a leading, judgement filled question! C Amanpoor is the furthest thing from a journalist you can get. With Biden in the White House the lying about the problems with “America First” policies is just going to get worse. Have you seen how much money the Global Elitists poured into the Biden campaign!!!?? The were able to buy a feckless mentally challenged President who just signs the stuff they put in front of him.
