1. tell msnbc to trade shep for greta!..

..hes the only faux news broadcaster I will watch.

[elfin]

2. Hooray! But I wouldn't be surprised if they have tried to woo him before

Bet he costs more than Greta.

If I ever watched Fox at any time, he would be the one to track. He must be lonely in the staff lounge.

6. Matthews isn't too bad.

[world wide wally]

14. I'd like to see Tweety gone, but not to a place where he would get a bigger audience

[TrekLuver]

15. I'm sorry I had a brain slip...I meant Wallace...LOL

[dewsgirl]

32. I wish

[highplainsdem]

4. I'd love to see that trade.

[renate]

17. oh yes please

That would be excellent!

[peggysue2]

27. Bingo!

Greta is unwatchable and Shep is wasted at Fox.

[LiberalFighter]

30. I caught a bit of that twit last nite and it made me sick.

So today did more CNN. Really don't like them either.

[herding cats]

3. i can see why they're upset. He told the truth on FOX News.

Their brains can't process such a breach of protocol.

8. Fox News viewers can't have the distortions they are endlessly fed disrupted by truth. It's bad

for the Fox News Machine and its alternative universe and $$$$$'s.

11. Yes - Shep is the only Foxer w/any integrity. He told the truth about the Russian prez

Too bad the whiny little babies can't handle it -- funny how they always accuse US of crying and complaining yet they go tell mommy (Twitter) immediately when big bad Shep hurts their wittle feewings!

I love Shep. His ability to throw shade and do snark is unparalleled in our current media. The way he has handled the Trump insanity has been brilliant.

[highplainsdem]

18. I've liked Shep ever since his Katrina coverage, which was very impressive.

Shame he's on Fox.

[BainsBane]

21. Exactly nt

[oldtime dfl_er]

5. had to laugh

at some of the tweets. Such denial. Such stupidity. Such willful ignorance. Such bad grammar and spelling.

[RKP5637]

9. And sadly they vote. n/t

[LAS14]

23. See #22

[yeoman6987]

7. I went through part of the tweets. They are pissed and there are a ton of them.

Lol. Poor shep. Not a fan but they are out to get him fired.

[highplainsdem]

12. It reminds me of how they went after Megyn Kelly.

[yeoman6987]

19. True. They got her good. Shep is probably not long for Fox News

[Kingofalldems]

31. Here he is, yeoman6987. Take it all in.

Shep is a great American.

Link to tweet

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

36. Yep, they've got their war paint on and are saying they'll do to him

what they did to her. Idiocracy as documentary.

[Kingofalldems]

13. Not a fan of Shep? Why not, yeoman6987?

Because he told the truth about Trump?

[JHan]

10. Such delicate snowflakes, poor things. Do they need a tuck in and a hug?

[Initech]

16. Snowflakes!

Never thought I would agree with Shepard Smith on something but you never know!

[jeanmarc]

20. Just have to laugh

[LAS14]

22. Deplorable Amy doesn't even know English.

Boycotting Shepard Smith, I'm convinced he should be working for CNN! He's always under minding President Trump! I think there's a joke lurking here, but my mind isn't up to it.... (Jeez, I think there's ANOTHER joke there somewhere.)

[Elwood P Dowd]

24. About fell out of my chair laughing at that one. (nm)

[LAS14]

25. Here's my addition to the collection.

Thanks to @ShepNewsTeam for demonstrating that conservative doesn't mean stupid!

[highplainsdem]

33. Perfect!

[meadowlark5]

26. MSNBC should give them back Greta and Shep can be the token republican at MSNBC instead nt

[lpbk2713]

28. I find it amazing anyone could still believe in Trump.

Only the extreme haters among Faux viewers are all he has left.

[MontanaMama]

29. Shep can come join the resistance.

Happy to hand over Joe, Mika and Greta. Buh bye.

[erpowers]

34. So Much for Freedom of Speech

So much for freedom of speech and defending the Constitution. Once again the Republicans are the PC police when people say thing the Republicans do not like.

[lindysalsagal]

35. I just tweeted "Good on Shep" for demanding russia answers.

Hope it confuses them

[highplainsdem]

37. USA Today story on this:

Fox host Shepard Smith slams president, Trump supporters call for his head

39. Thanks.. Wow! Spoken like a fair minded reporter who's into reality!

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is under fire for criticizing President's Trump's treatment of CNN reporter Jim Acosta and his refusal to answer questions about his campaign's ties to Russia.

"It's crazy what we're watching every day," Smith said after Trump's press conference on Thursday. "It's absolutely crazy. He keeps repeating ridiculous, throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we're some kind of fools for asking the question. Really? Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening and we're fools for asking the questions? No sir."

"We have a right to know," Smith added. "You call us fake news and put us down like children for asking questions on behalf of the American people."

38. Kick!

[smirkymonkey]

40. I demand that we fire Fox News.

Seriously. If we keep repeating loud enough and often enough that they are treasonous and unpatriotic, eventually it will stick. Lets rip a page from the republicans own playbook.
