Shep Smith out at Fox News — two days after Bill Barr’s meeting with Rupert Murdoch

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/10/shep-smith-out-at-fox-news-one-day-after-bill-barrs-meeting-with-rupert-murdoch/

Shepard Smith, one of the few voices at Fox News who has been willing to be critical of President Donald Trump, is stepping down from the network.

Per Washington Post media reporter Erik Wemple, Smith’s final show was on Friday and his termination is effective immediately.

Smith’s departure comes less than two days after Attorney General Bill Barr held a mysterious meeting with Fox CEO Rupert Murdoch. There is no evidence linking Barr’s Murdoch meeting to Smith’s sudden departure, although critics of the White House have been raising questions about why the attorney general was meeting with a media mogul at a time when Trump has been openly critical of the network.

Faux Noise was kind of starting to break with Dump. It looks like this is going to be reined in so that Faux is once again the completely loyal propaganda arm that repeats anything Dump wants.

with Murdock and a couple of days later Smith is ushered out of the building by security goons.

It's sorta like when Barr visited the jail in New York City and shortly thereafter Epstein was killed...er ah...allegedly committed suicide in his cell while the guards where conveniently on break and the security cameras were conveniently on the blink.

Nothing to see here folks but if you're on shakey ground on your job the last person you want to see coming into the building is Barr.
