    Lots of twitter outrage against Mr. Smith over this basically saying he needs to go work for CNN.

    It took Smith 20 years but he finally got to the point where he's showing significant fatigue from shoveling their propaganda dung.

    Shepard Smith has been one of Fox News most willing to report the truth and has been criticized by the larger Fox audience for some time now.

    This is why I enjoy Fox news. You get different perspectives within their lineup. They also bring on guests with opposing viewpoints quite regularly.

    CNN would rather talk about two scoops of ice cream or a dog who has an ear that resembles Trump.

    Yoy aren't even trying anymore are you.

    If I made a rumor about how current administration operates a backdoor Pizza estamblishment child sex ring, do you expect the media to cover the rumor 'fairly' with 'both sides' receiving fair coverage?

    I am not touting every story they make but I don't think it is as one-sided as the others.

    If it was that bad, Smith should have left Fox a long time ago instead of sticking around. I have little respect for these anchors who have built their reputation on the backs of the naive. Once he leaves, he will learn the hard way like Megan Kelly. And that is nobody gives a **** about national syndicate news TV except the gullible who follow Fox News.

    It's the "boil the frog" scenario. Fox News was Shep's big break in 97. The network has been extremely good to him, and he has been more on the "news" side of it and less on the "opinion" side of it. I imagine that's why he's lasted so long.

    My man... Even my octogenarian parents, who love Fox, fully acknowledge it is nearly full-on GOP propaganda. Especially their litany of guests and opinion-offerers, to say nothing of off-kilter content decisions. MSNBC and FOX may have similar bias levels. Maybe even CNN when they're at their Trump-loathing worst. But so many outlets are more fact-based and news-based than FOX.

    On topic though, here are some legal experts, including republican voices, on Session's latest maneuvers of considering a special counsel.
    ---
    “Certainly Sessions’ involvement with the Trump presidential campaign, which already branded Secretary Clinton a criminal, would raise a question of his impartiality in these circumstances,” said Trevor Potter, president of the Campaign Legal Center and a former Republican chair of the Federal Election Commission. “Other, less political, officials at the Department of Justice should be making decisions about any Clinton investigations,” Potter said.

    “The whole situation is unusual,” said a former Department of Justice official, who explained that “historically, DOJ has had a strong record of independence,” which could erode if there is an “appearance that DOJ is acting based on political pressure rather than on an independent assessment of the facts and the law.”

    “You have to go back to Nixon to find a similar situation of a president involving himself in prosecutions of political enemies,” concluded another former government official.

    (abc leans left, for my tastes, but the quotes are the quotes.)

    It is kind of sad that a Fox news reporting what is widely known already is even worth discussing.
