Trump’s sycophants are obviously fine with it, as we see here. They will tolerate no dissent at GOP-TV!if Barr had anything to do with personel matters at a news station that is corruption, abuse of power, etc.

I actually met Shepard Smith in Kissimmee in 1992. He used to be with an Orlando news station. It was on Election Night at Republican headquarters. We were a little hosed at the idea a liar/rapist had just defeated a war hero.Shepard Smith, whose newscast on Fox News Channel seemed increasingly an outlier on a network dominated by supporters of President Trump, abruptly quit after working at Fox since it started in 1996.
Smith said at the end of his daily newscast on Friday that he had asked the network to let him out of his contract and it had agreed.
Even in the current polarized environment, Smith said “it’s my hope that the facts will win the day, that the facts will always matter and journalism and journalists will thrive.”
Neil Cavuto, who anchors the broadcast following Smith’s, looked shocked after the announcement.
“Whoa,” Cavuto said. “Like you, I’m a little stunned.”
Smith’s departure also comes one day after Attorney General William Barr met privately with media mogul Rupert Murdoch, founder of Fox News. President Trump has been increasingly critical of personalities on Fox News that he views as disloyal.
On his afternoon newscast, Smith had frequently given tough reports debunking statements made by Trump and his supporters — even the Fox News opinion hosts that rule the network’s prime-time lineup.
Two weeks ago, Smith clashed with Tucker Carlson when an analyst on Smith’s program, Andrew Napolitano, said that it was a crime for President Trump to solicit aid for his campaign from a foreign government, in this case the Ukraine. Later that night, Carlson asked his own analyst, Joseph diGenova, to comment and he called Napolitano a fool.
The next day, Smith said that “attacking our colleague who is here to offer legal assessments, on our air, in our work home, is repugnant.”
There is no such thing a Trump TV. (Although it would be funny as hell if Trump were to buy MSNBC and turn it into a raging fair and balanced competitor to Fox.)So much for free speech on Trump TV.

Fox chooses on air personalities for their ability to attract an audience. The larger the audience, the more advertising a network can sell.Mr Wallace should be Fired, He no kiss Mr Trump's ass like most Fox News people
And so Barr had to go to Murdock and tell him to dump Smith. What a slime ball administration. Just what the right wing loves.Fox chooses on air personalities for their ability to attract an audience. The larger the audience, the more advertising a network can sell.
You think people on Fox get fired for not advocating Trump? What color is the sky in your world? They are on Fox all day long. Put down the Fake News kool-aid, you've had more than enough alreadyMr Trump tell Fox News propaganda leader to fire him....He would not lie for Mr Trump
You read that on the National Enquirer by the story that Sarah Sanders had an alien baby?And so Barr had to go to Murdock and tell him to dump Smith. What a slime ball administration. Just what the right wing loves.
You really think Fox News, (the home of the Never Trumpers) would not report an attempt by Barr to do such a thing? Fox is so hungry for its superior ratings that it shows loyalty to any side of the aisle. Barr knows this. That's why he never did it. But hey, a edited can make all kinds of allegations when there is no actual proof required.And so Barr had to go to Murdock and tell him to dump Smith. What a slime ball administration. Just what the right wing loves.
Dang Jack.That's good news. Shep should have been at MSNBC all along. He could be the female version of Rachel Maddow.
Collusion!Really ? here was a President messing with a News Station.
President Obama met with influential progressives to talk about the importance of preventing a tax increase on middle class families, strengthening our economy and adopting a balanced approach to deficit reduction
HuffPost spotted several attendees on their way in just after 3 p.m., including MSNBC’s Maddow, Sharpton and Lawrence O’Donnell. Ed Schultz, also from MSNBC, tweeted a photo just outside of the West Wing. Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group, was also in the meeting.
that is a president telling media his policy positions.Really ? here was a President messing with a News Station.

totally different than the attorney general meeting privately with the head of a news station.
if that had anything to do with Shep Smith that is a big problem.
Not hard to prove...But loyal Mr Trump followers only believe State run propagandaI'll wait patiently for some scintilla of proof of that idiotic lie.
Wait? Kinda hard to prove what you just made up.
I suppose they both can be.Dang Jack.
All this time I thought Chris Hayes was the female version of Rachel Madcow!
