Donald Trump’s supporters have launched a scathing attack on a Fox News anchor who criticised the US President’s treatment of reporters and his refusal to answer questions at his first solo press conference.

Shepard Smith accused Mr Trump of "repeating ridiculous, throwaway lines that are not true at all."

He said: "It's crazy what we're watching every day. It's absolutely crazy."

His comments came after the US President launched a sustained attack on the media during a fiery and, at times chaotic, news conference.

1. Oh please do.

[ck4829]

21. Pretty please

[citizen blues]

32. Absolutely!

They might actually get a little bit of real news instead of just hearing from the GOP Propaganda machine.

[George II]

2. At this point in his "presidency", how many donald trump supporters are there?

[marybourg]

11. Far, far too many.

From 39 to 55% of adults, according to various recent polls.

[HassleCat]

3. They would shrivel up and die without their daily dose of hate.

[Turbineguy]

4. I suppose their are plenty of other places

to get misinformation.

[Maeve]

5. Just try to do it...let's see how long you can!

Reality has a liberal bias.

[packman]

6. But-but-but how else would they get their so-called news

Oh, life does indeed have it delicious moments - First kiss, first love, each child, kittens and Fox viewers boycotting Fox

[nikibatts]

7. Time for Step to leave the Dark Side.

[Bengus81]

33. I said that back when Katrina hit....

He was down there basically shouting that THERE IS NO ONE HERE,there is NO ONE here. Meaning the Fed Gov and FEMA. He was trashed for putting in a dig at Bush. Did he leave FOX then--nope.

[mpcamb]

8. Boycotting Fox won't necessarily make 'em smarter. They just won't get dumber.

[kwassa]

12. oh, they might find those even dumber right-wing sites ...

[mpcamb]

13. Yeah. I suppose it is a risk.

[world wide wally]

9. Best news I've heard all year

[starshine00]

22. I know...who would have thought we'd ever see a headline like this

Someone, probably Putin's propagandists, prepared Trump for this outcome way ahead of time, hence the 'fake news' meme.

[dalton99a]

10. Threaten? Just do it.

[sarcasmo]

14. Guess these fools could watch RT.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

15. It's time for Fox to dump Shepard Smith

He just doesn't seem to fit the Fox mold.

Too often, he comes across as too fixated on facts, with no regard to accepted opinion.

[samnsara]

28. those pesky facts

[forgotmylogin]

16. Hahahahahahahah!

"Bring us news, but don't tell us anything important..."

[ck4829]

24. They just want information that confirms their biases

I wouldn't have an institutional problem with Fox News at all if it was called Fox Opinions. As it would be something I would disagree with, but it wouldn't deserve opposition on an activist level.

[drm604]

17. Shepard Smith has at times been more moderate than most on Fox.

I suppose he's their token "liberal" (at least he's liberal compared to most Fox hosts).

[samnsara]

27. i can actually watch him

[Fozzledick]

36. I think of him as their token journalist.

The one real one they keep as window dressing for their full time propagandists.

[Grins]

18. When you lose the all important 4-8PM demographic....

When you lose the all important 4-8PM demographic it's pretty much over.

[muntrv]

19. Please proceed!

[keithbvadu2]

20. Yeah! Right! FOX is not scared.

[elmac]

23. can they survive

having 5 or 6 less viewers?

[ck4829]

25. Do it.

[samnsara]

26. then where would they go for their...

...faux news?

[itcfish]

29. They Will Have Nothing

Left to watch but the Cartoon Network

[dhill926]

30. Fox News....Budweiser....

whatever are these poor snowflakes to do....

[OldRedneck]

31. But .. but ... but ...

If the Trumpsters boycott Fox, where will they get their "news?"

[jzodda]

34. It's shocking so many don't want truth

They seem to want propaganda instead. It's ok there are so many of us ready to fight. We are not going anywhere and will only get stronger.

[Kimchijeon]

35. I'm glad I stocked up on popcorn, this is just too funny! LOL

[Tikki]

37. He could send supernatural physic messages to his fans. Or have an 866 telephone...

number where his fanboys and girls could call and hear pre-recorded messages from dear leader.



Tikki

[etherealtruth]

38. Good, this should be encouraged

[UT_democrat]

39. How amazing would it be

if Faux turned 100% on him. 45's minions heads would explode.

[Thekaspervote]

40. Well yippie skippy... that's the best news yet!!
