Fox News Anchor Comes Out of the Closet

Fox News' Shep Smith Reveals He's Gay



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.

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?

Watch his latest slanted report on voting laws (recorded 8/31/2106) and a typical Smith outburst alongside Trace Gallagher, and Judge Andrew Napolitano seen on the Fox News Channel program, "The Strategy Room".

Blatant opinionated reportage

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.

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~!

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.
