“The much-proclaimed wall between opinion and reporting at Fox News got topped with some barbed wire today as opinionator Sean Hannity called news man Shepard Smith ‘clueless’ about how the other half works,” Deadline reports.
Hannity sent out a tweet aimed at Smith in response to comments by Smith in a Time magazine article. You can see Hannity’s tweet below.
In the Time profile, Smith says: “I get it that some of our opinion programming is there strictly to be entertaining. I get that. I don’t work there. I wouldn’t work there. I don’t want to sit around and yell at each other and talk about your philosophy and my philosophy. That sounds horrible to me.”
Hannity responded: “While Shep is a friend with political views I do not share, and great at breaking news, he is clueless about what we do every day. Hannity breaks news daily-Warrant on a Trump assoc, the unmasking scandal, leaking intel, Fisa abuse, HRC lawbreaking, dossier and more REAL NEWS!”
In the midst of the fracas, The Hill reports that Smith announced today that he’s taking what he calls a “previously planned one-week vacation.” Smith also quipped that when he returns “everything will be peachy-keen & hunky-dory.”
Hannity is the one who should be taking the vacation. A one way trip to nowhere.
He’s the one that’s clueless.
Obama was a great president!
Since Obama was elected, Jimmy Carter will no longer be considered the worst president in U. S. history. I’m a lifelong Democrat and voted for Obama both times. He promised us so much and gave us so little. Maybe next time we’ll get a candidate other than Hillary. Although, I have heard that she is talking to big money backers to possibly make another run.
I guess you forgot that it is congress that implements the ‘so much’ that Obama promised. They did nothing and nothing got done. I thought that would change with the all R rated government. I guess congress is still doing nothing as I don’t see anything getting done. Still, plenty of time before November to push in some changes. Maybe they can actually repeal the affordable care act. Lord knows that R has been talking about this for a might long time.
