From the Hollywood Reporter:
Shepard Smith is stepping away from his longtime role at Fox News and leaving the network, Fox News said on Friday. “Recently I asked the company to allow me to leave Fox News and begin a new chapter,” Smith said in a statement.
“After requesting that I stay, they graciously obliged. The opportunities afforded this guy from small town Mississippi have been many. It’s been an honor and a privilege to report the news each day to our loyal audience in context and with perspective, without fear or favor.
“I’ve worked with the most talented, dedicated and focused professionals I know and I’m proud to have anchored their work each day — I will deeply miss them.”
Per a Fox News spokesperson, Shep Smith is stepping down from Fox News. This afternoon was his final show.

This isn't weird at all. Shepard Smith finishes Friday Fox newscast and leaves the building – permanently. What did we say was the subject of that meeting between Bill Barr and Rupert Murdoch? https://t.co/b1tXTHaTWx
