quote:

Smith isn’t the only anchor to profess a desire to avoid becoming the story, but his commitment to facts over feeling makes him an unusual fit for an era defined by news personalities. His opinion colleagues, geared to thrive in contentious times, fit the tenor of the moment more naturally. That he’s, to some portion of the Fox audience, become despised for telling them what they don’t want to hear is a frustrating part of the job. “It depends on what you’re looking for,” he says. “Are you looking for news and information so that you can make decisions about your life and your family? Or are you looking for your worldview to be confirmed? For that second kind of viewer, when the facts fly in the face of your worldview, that can be unsettling. Sometimes, then, they don’t like me. And there are other times when the facts work beautifully with their worldview. Then, they’re very happy.”


He just got a contract renewal so he will continue bursting the right wing bubble for an hour every weekday afternoon.

This is true of literally all humans.

Alas, liberals like you are so fricking arrogant, you don't realize that fact.

Actually Shep we just want our hard news guys to stop giving us their opinions. Pretty simple . If you want to be reverse- Hannity go do That. But if you say you are a hard news journalist, quit giving me your fricking opinion.

Do you personally think you yourself are outside of a bubble? Because a quick look at your post history says you have a very very clear ideology and worldview, especially on black issues.

100% of your threads started since 2017 have been anti-trump, anti-GOP, etc.

That isn't the activity of someone who is outside of a political bubble.

Wrong, I don't like you all the time and it is because of your enthusiasm and delight to report facts that may not paint the president in a good light. He seems to enjoy this so much the little prick.

I watch on occasion and it's like watching CNN. He peddles in half truths and misrepresentation to make his argument.

He's a hack.

The fact that i'm on this board, shows my effort to get outside of my bubble.

I wish I could talk to Trump supporters here, but they don't really exist or don't admit to it.

You obviously didn't read the article. He came out last year.

So, when you are among your liberal friends in DC or are on a liberal forum, do you play the role of bubble burster on there, as well? Or do you just nod your head in agreement when they talk?

This is like the suicide bomber saying the fact he showed up where the infidels are shows he's trying to understand them.
