Speaking with Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, Shep Smith appeared to slam Fox News — his former employer — as he explained why he decided to leave the network after 23 years, describing to CNN how his presence on Fox was “untenable as opinion shows on the network spread falsehoods that hosts knew were lies.”
Smith joined Fox News in 1996 when the organization was founded, and left in October 2019 in the middle of a three-year contract. He now hosts “The News with Shepard Smith,” on CNBC. Speaking with Amanpour, Smith was asked whether Fox News “perpetuated so many of the divisions, the lies, the conspiracies,” with the goal of becoming “the propaganda arm of the Republican Party.”
