I have been constantly following politics since Trump first announced his intention to run for president. Which means I have spent ALOT of time watching Fox, CNN and MSNBC. Because of this I have come to notice that Shepard Smith seems to be literally the ONLY person on Fox that regularly and consistently reports the facts and refuses to peddle the usual Fox Propaganda.
And I have to ask.......WHY?
And its not even just Shepard Smith himself. His show is also one of the only shows that regularly has guests on that try to do the usual Fox News BS song and dance only to have Smith completely destroy their argument with facts and good debate tactics. He also openly rolls his eyes, lets out long sighs, and does other things to openly show his disgust when guests try to lie, mislead or dance around the questions he asks. Today for example he seemingly rolled his eyes when they played the audio of Trump complaining that the News Media never calls him a good candidate. He says "I was a great candidate" and Smith looks as if he rolls his eyes.
No other show on Fox allows this sort of honesty or open disgust at Trumps BS. Not a single one.
I mean Fox seems to make a concerted effort to ensure that its viewers are fed only bullshit and misinformation on every single one of its programs and as far as I can tell they ONLY book people for interviews that will more or less tow the party line or if they refuse to do that then they are there to provide a punching bag for the hosts and other guests to hammer with unfair comparisons and misleading information.
But not Shepard Smiths show.
Why does Fox allow him to be so obviously against their entire mission to keep people misinformed and uneducated on the facts?
And by all accounts their own viewers don't like him either and these are just examples from the last couple of days.
Like right now as I am typing this he is going into detail on the horrendous conditions in Puerto Rico. That is a story that I have not seen mentioned on the entire Fox Network in WEEKS. They are not trying to deflect the blame and they are not trying to sugarcoat the conditions like Fox has done since the Hurricane first hit the island. He is showing open and honest commentary on the conditions there and how poorly the situation is being handled.
Literally NO other show on the network operates this way. Does anyone know why or have any guesses on why?
