In reply to the discussion: If Trump were to lose FOX, his base would collapse. [View all]amywalk
(254 posts)43. Shep Smith has long been critical of Trump
I dont think Shep is a liberal, but he does seem to believe in truth telling in his profession. I remember when he was down in New Orleans a few days after Katrina hit. As Bush was out golfing, brush clearing in Texas and telling Brownie what a heckava job he was doing, Shep was there reporting from ground zero. He was bringing horrific sights and scenes from the Superdome and the 9th Ward. After a week or so, listening to his network spew lies about the facts on the ground, he exploded with rage. He screamed into the cameras for Bush to basically get his ass to Louisiana. I will always be grateful to him for that.

FOX can switch or pivot when the time is ripe to fleece a different demographic.
