I know Shepard Smith, he was a local newsman here in Ft Myers before he made it big and moved up. He was always well respected here, always balanced in his reporting, and not taken to embellish things just for ratings.

I have never seen him so concerned or confused about anything. He looks like the top of his head is ready to explode over the stupid, lying things that Trump continues to do, over and over and over again. You can tell that Shep has had it with the utter nonsense of this Presidency.

The line that he said about "It is our job to point out when things are untrue" is right on the mark. If we did not have the journalists to research and report these inaccuracies, how would we ever find out and know what is real and what is not ? That is a very powerful, accurate video. Donald Trump lies constantly and will not give a straight answer to any question, always blaming it on someone else.

Everyone should be concerned about that, Trump supporters even more than us on the other side. YOU are the people who trusted him, and YOU need to see how he deflects answering questions that need to be answered, and how so much that comes out of his mouth is simply a lie.

The man is appalling.

Please link to your proof.

That is what we are trying to determine, and why Trump is being asked these questions.

Fact 1) The Russians did hack for the purpose of disrupting our election. Every intelligence agency 100% agrees, there is no question on that subject.

Fact 2) Trump's team were in communication with the Russians ON THAT VERY DAY. There is absolute proof of that.

Now, the questions that need to be answered is what were those discussions about, and did Trump know about the hacking. Not rocket science, simply what we need to know (and what you too should want to know, if you are a good American who voted with the correct information at hand).

Trump would love to see this all go away, but it will not, and the more he dodges and runs, the more people will keep demanding truthful answers.

It doesn't matter which side of the aisle you're on. Why keep being dishonest about things that don't matter and why keep giving vague answers about Russia?
There's a reason why Shepard Smith is not prime time and Hannity is.

He trends more balanced/ less partisan than some of the Fox celebrities.

The non- partisan fact checkers are having a field day with yesterday's press conference.

Like clockwork, when a statement is shown to be false, the Trump Admin declares it fake news.

The last POTUS to so consistently attack media was Nixon.

Can you share some examples from Hannity, please.

And they mentioned he does this to deflect from answering legitimate questions like his (or his campaign's) relationship with Russia. He could have put this issue to bed months ago by just addressing it like a normal and mature adult...instead he keeps deflecting and deflecting, and talking about total and utter nonsense. And that just makes everyone want to ask more questions!

God, what an embarrassing President.

He is not viewed as the poster child of Fox Opinion New, the way Hannity is.

Actually they are less reliable...by far. 2 university studies have confirmed this.

Shepard went on the record dismissing the Hannity on a bone routine where night after night, Hannity brought on so called experts to persuade the viewing audience it was doomed to die of Ebola and it was all Obama's fault.

The day after 2015 midterms, Hannity announced his coverage of Ebola was done. It was no longer news.

There's a reason why Smith is not prime time.

Meghn Kelly obviously did and was/ is and seems despised by the Hannity/ Trump base.

I only know I saw something in Hannity show, which I happen to know everything on the subject- and he was lying and twisting and reshaping what the guests where saying -- he spun that thing into his pretzel
its was terrible-- and people believe this kat--
