Fox News viewers are calling for a TV anchor to be fired because he debunked an erroneous conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton.

Shepard Smith, who has been at Fox for more than two decades, discredited the theory which his own network has branded the Clinton uranium “scandal” in a five-minute segment.

Fox News, as well as President Donald Trump and his allies, have suggested for months that donations to the Clinton Foundation were tied to the approval of a deal by the State Department and the Obama administration which allowed a Russian company to purchase a Canada-based mining group with operations in the US.

President Trump claimed it was “Watergate, modern-age” and former White House advisor Sebastian Gorka said it was equivalent to the Julis and Ethel Rosenberg spying case in the 1950’s which saw the couple convicted of committing espionage for the Soviet Union.

Proponents of the wholly false theory, which has been exposed as incorrect by various fact-checkers, claim that nine people involved in the deal made donations to the Clinton Foundation which add up to more than $140 million. They say Ms Clinton in exchange approved the sale to the Russians – a “a quid pro quo”.

Smith, who has a history of angering Fox's viewers, debunked the conspiracy theories which surround a uranium deal involving the former Democrat presidential candidate. The reporter noted the Clinton State Department did not possess the power to either veto or approve such a transaction.

3. Smith would walk into any of the other top cable news stations, but one of the last vestiges of

sanity would be gone from Fox News.

4. Those Folks Need Reprogrammed Back To Reality

Avid Fox viewers have swallowed this fake one sided narrative totally.

Fox Wingnuts say we have MSNBC and CNN. But when I can I point out the difference to them......If Obama had cruelly mocked a handicapped reporter, had bragged about grabbing women by our private parts that would not have been censored out of their stations like Fox routinely does.

What Fox does is so similar to Nazi radio propoganda in WWll.

We need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine.

8. Fox viewers DEMAND they be lied to.

Their brainwashing is complete.

6. Seems like faux viewers have trouble handling the truth

When facts are presented and it upsets their paradigm they refuse to admit the facts.

There is no getting though to these brainwashed people except for them being deprived of the propaganda though deprivation.
