As I have said many times I do not watch the propaganda on Fox News network. It was designed by Roger Ailes to be a vehicle to skew facts, sway opinion to his belief, and making their gullible audience think Fox presents an unbiased view. In order to do so they put a shill in their propaganda so they can say both sides are presented. As long as the shill doesn’t get to far off the scripted talking points Ailes kept his job and huge salary.

Sometimes money doesn’t beat out integrity forever. Shepard Smith has apparently decided he can no longer be the shill for Donald Trump and the owner of Fox News, Rupurt Murdoch. He must have decided to tell the unvarnished truth instead of lying about what Trump is doing. Trump lives by what Fox News talking heads say. When Smith kept going off the rails by criticizing Trump, Smith’s days were numbered. Trump talked to his stooge, Attorney General Barr. Barr had a conversation with Murdoch who had a conversation with Smith. Smith has “resigned” because Trump thought he was being a disloyal and we all know what that means. Ask all those staffers and department secretaries who couldn’t stomach “loyalty” to Trump instead of to the country.

I’m sure Shepard Smith will land on his feet at another position under his golden parachute and non-disclosure agreement. I can give Smith a one-handed clap for finally going into the light after twenty-three years. I guess he finally reached his limit for deception.
