What's the story on Sheppard Smith? Flip on and he is actually acting like Muslim ban a bad thing.

Maybe haven't heard enough yet. He is going live to an airport protest next. During the chaos on Friday - Fox literally was silent and acted like it wasn't happening. And the morning - they were mocking it as just a bunch of liberals.

I am worried my wingnut FIL won't know about it all
