Fox News' Shep Smith Reveals He's Gay (http://www.advocate.com/media/2016/10/17/fox-news-shepard-smith-answers-question-roger-ailes-coming-out)



Roger Ailes no longer runs Fox News.

And Shepard Smith came out today.

But those two things are not related, say Smith in a new interview.

The Fox News anchor came out today in response to a question about whether Ailes had forced him to remain in the closet.

"That's not true," he told the Huffington Post in an interview when asked about the reports. "He was as nice as he could be to me." Gawker reported in 2014 that Smith had said "it's time" to come out during contract negotiations, but Ailes bluntly told him the channel's conservative audience wouldn't tolerate a gay anchor.

Fox News denied the report at the time with a joint statement by Ailes and Smith that didn't address Smith's sexual orientation. "This story is 100 percent false and a complete fabrication," they wrote.

fox audience wont tolerate a gay

maybe they can film an isis beheading as a warning

aesopsretreat conservative Fox News viewers say they are tolerant and inclusive.


are they lying?

I am a degreed, Mass Communications professional, and contained within my college curriculum was a requirement to attend journalism classes. All journalism majors are required to take the course—that's a pitfall of hiring talking heads over college-educated journalists.

Within the course syllabus I learned that one, unpardonable, unwarranted and worthy-of-being-fired-if-broken mandate exists for all journalists.
That 'law' reads, or rather, 'once stated':

"As a journalist, your reporting should always be objective. and violation of this journalistic principle is a serious breech of the public trust."
Think Shepard Smith is objective?

It has been known for years that Smith is a biased liberal.   Fox has many liberals.   Nothing new.

Why is this important to you?

BTW....how about them Cubs

I never saw FOX as anything other than the right side of the establishment's media mouth.  It talks out of both sides of its mouth but says basically the same chit over and over.

It has been known for years that Smith is a biased liberal.   Fox has many liberals on it's programs.   Nothing new.

I knew Shep was gay years ago. Who cares?

I have also noticed that some on the Fox News team when doing an interview with a Trump supporter they ask a question and if the answer is not what they are looking for they keep pressing the issue with what appears to be hope that the Trump supporter will throw Trump over~!

I knew Shep was gay years ago. Who cares?
 
Yep, how can one "Hide" what everyone already knows ??
What Shep has done was to hide it from himself, thats all. Then blame the hiding that others needed it kept hidden.
 

Is Shep the only one who didn't know this?  Same way Anderson Cooper came out and half of America already knew.

facts do have a liberal bias.

if being gay is a choice and all people are heterosexual how did you "know" he was gay?

LOL... 

Don't you Libs/Dems/Fags/Girlie-Men LOVE your fellow Fags? ? ? ? ? ?

Why?  It's nobody's business.

It mattered to Roger Ailes, Smith's employer.

Ailes bluntly told him the channel's conservative audience wouldn't tolerate a gay anchor.

Link?

Jw2 loves pointing out differences!

Like all Democrats Jw2 seeks to divide us instead of uniting us!

He's wrong.  Conservative audiences don't care about what people do in privacy.

poor daniel, there are those who suggest daniel has a closet.

Jw2 engages in sexist and anti-gay speech!

If I was poor, how come I have a closet, johniel?  Closets are the luxury of the rich.

you are more than welcome to stay in your closet daniel.

if you find Shep Smith in there, do let us know.

Jizz-Wanker2 is upset that a Conservative FOX Anchor is a fellow Fag!!!

I only go into my closet to pick out clothes, johniel.  What do you do in your closet, cry like a little girl?

Libs are racist, sexist, homophobic and xenophobic when their target does not swallow the liberal doctrine.
