Fox News chief news anchor Shepard Smith announced Friday afternoon he was taking a "previously-planned one-week vacation" and joked that when he returns "everything will be peachy-keen & hunky-dory."

The announcement comes just hours after fellow Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham slammed Smith as "clueless" about what the opinion side of the network does and for making "inconsiderate and inaccurate" statements about prime-time Fox programs.

It must be a ever-increasing chore to continue to work at a place infested with clowns and loons.

They tolerate his occasional swerving out of the GOP lane but this will be too much.

that Shep hasn't gotten canned.

I refuse to watch the lies on Fox but if I am channel surfing between commercials I will watch Shep. I believe he is sincere in what he says and believes, I believe he is honest. Granted I don't watch him regularly but when I do he comes off to me as an ok guy, he seems out of place at Fox.

Smith is the only one on Fox who is 'peachy-keen & hunky-dory'.
All the others are just idiots, in my humble opinion.
