I am stunned. So many memories of this place. Some of my best cases of gastrointestinal distress started here…

Shep Smith at Flox News

dang…one of the few voices of reason on the network, I hope Chris Wallace  is not next

Our Dear Leader really didn't like him…I'm sure that came up with Pompeo and Rupert on their Wednesday night chat


@realDonaldTrump
Watching Fake News CNN is better than watching Shepard Smith, the lowest rated show on @FoxNews. Actually, whenever possible, I turn to @OANN!

Smith’s departure follows a report that he was warned last month by Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and network president Jay Wallace not to criticize the network’s evening anchor Tucker Carlson again.

Smith had said on the air that it was “repugnant” that Carlson had not spoken up in defense of Fox News contributor Andrew Napolitano after a Carlson guest, attorney Joseph di Genova, called Napolitano a “fool” for saying that Trump had broken the law. Di Genova is a legal adviser to Trump.

EDIT– sounds like he asked to be released from his contract….I don't believe it

first thing that I thought when I heard the news was "maybe he grew a pair and jumped a ship he couldn't stand to be on anymore".

I doubt we will ever know the real story of what happened and accepting the public statements of Shep and FOX seems naive.

We know a few things though…

I love how there is total denial that Barr's meeting with Murdoch had nothing to do with it.  Most are saying it was because of Tucker.  I have always wondered, who is worse . . . Tucker, O'Reilly, or Alex Jones.

I'd have to say Tucker (besides the seeming dethronement of O'Reilly & Jones).
He has a classic, white gentile look, can manage to feign a modulated tone (less and less so) and can skew young.

Is this the part where one of us says she can be inappropriate with us in a hamfisted attempt at puerile comedy?

I'd have to have a few drinks first before I'd want *her* to take advantage of me.

this really irks me and sad to hear this

this post reflects my opinion

@HoarseWisperer
Hard to feel anything other than sad and angry about revenge porn succeeding in pushing out a woman Representative.

Edit–I have to temper this with…she was a supervisor of this person…so that makes this less kosher.  I just don't know where the line is drawn with it's not Quidproquo or not consensual

Wasn't the real deal that money was inappropriately going to the staffer and they were going to investigate that angle and the staffer was likely to get into some legal trouble, hence Hill resigned to save the staffer's ass? That's what I read somewhere.

Honestly hadn't followed the story closely…so that's more of a problem…
ok so maybe I was wrong about this
but the Revenge porn aspect really pisses me off and I also feel there is a double standard for women

OR republican Greg Walden-  is retiring from the house…is that over 20 Republicans retiring from a job that has almost a 90% recidivism rate (yes the word was intended)
edit…some better deets
16 17 19 GOP House members and four senators are forgoing reelection next year without declaring their candidacy for another office, while just five Democrats in the House and one in the Senate are retiring outright. The trend mirrors 2018, when more than two dozen Republicans retired ahead of the midterms, foreshadowing the blue wave that swept in a Democratic majority.
