“Hello, SCIENCE?”

After announcing today’s decision by the Supreme Court, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith slammed the “continuing discrimination” by states that are still fighting same-sex marriage, noting that some of those states are the ones that fought most strongly against integration. The Tea People are going nuts on Twitter, demanding that Fox fire Smith for “smearing Christians.”

“I spent an entire hour talking about how much this man affected people’s lives and brought greatness to this world. I was just wondering aloud what could have made this man want to end it all. And it reminds us that we all have responsibility as friends and neighbors to help take responsibility to prevent this from happening. There are …

Via Raw Story: Fox News host Shepard Smith on Tuesday asserted that actor Robin Williams was “such a coward” for allegedly committing suicide. “One of the children he so loved, one of the children grieving tonight,” Smith said. “Because their father killed himself in a fit of depression.” “It’s hard to imagine, isn’t it?” he continued. “You could love three …

“News team- Good morning from Los Angeles. I came to Fox News 18 years ago because they agreed to hire me. I’ve stayed with Fox News because of my relationship with Roger Ailes. He’s my boss, my friend and my steadfast supporter both professionally and personally. Things you might read today are horseshit. As phony as 24-hour breaking news on …

An interesting claim from Gawker: In the summer of 2013, according to multiple sources with knowledge of their exchange, Shepard Smith approached Fox News president Roger Ailes about publicly coming out. The newly attached anchor was eager, at the time, to finally acknowledge his sexuality. “It’s time,” he told Ailes and other colleagues. “It’s time.” Instead, Ailes informed Smith that …

Last week I reported that Fox anchor Shep Smith was the list of attendees for the annual gala held by the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association, which was held last night in NYC. As you can see from Don Lemon’s selfie above, Smith did attend. But he did not come out despite being confronted by a reporter from the …

Jim Romenesko followed up on my post yesterday about Shep Smith attending next week’s gala for LGBT journalists. I asked Fox News and NLGJA if Smith – outed by Gawker last October – plans to announce anything at next Thursday’s event. “Not to my knowledge,” NLGJA membership coordinator Matthew Rose told me. “Our special guest list is filled with allies,” …

Next week the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association will hold its annual gala here in New York City. When I first got my invite to cover the event, I noticed that glass-closeted Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is listed among the attendees. To be clear, not all of the announced media personalities on the list are LGBT, but today …

David Carr writes at the New York Times: What if Gawker tried to out an anchor at Fox News and no one cared? Cue the innuendo, the salacious follow-ups and the specter of mainstream media outlets picking up the item with a pair of tweezers. Except after the post was published, there was nothing but crickets, other than a piece …

That Fox News anchor Shepard Smith is gay is fairly widely known, even though he has never publicly acknowledged it. He’s even appeared in Out Magazine‘s annual ranking of the most powerful gays in America. But after a gossip column earlier this week reported that Smith had blown up at a downtown Manhattan cocktail waitress while on a night out …

Conversation’s over! Got a little too close to the ongoing cover that right wingers give homocon Matt Drudge! Still, that’s the first time I’ve gotten a prominent anti-gay activist to even grudgingly concede that Drudge should come out if he’s gay. I’ve saved the above conversation to Storify just in case it should come in handy later. RELATED: Here’s the …

Noting that Out Magazine has (for several years) listed Fox News anchor Shepard Smith as one of America’s “most powerful” gay people, anti-gay crackpot Cliff Kincaid is demanding that Smith come out.  But Kincaid has NOTHING to say about homocon Matt Drudge, who has also appeared on the list for years.  Kincaid works for the hilariously named Accuracy In Media, …

Today Fox News inadvertently aired a suicide during a live broadcast when the suspect in a police chase the network was following jumped from his vehicle and shot himself in the head. Moments later host Shepard Smith issued a profuse apology, which is below. (Via Igor Volsky at Think Progress)

Today’s top story on World Net Daily, the most widely-read conservative site in nation, is not an alarmed recapping of yesterday’s Holocaust Memorial shooting, but rather a blistering attack on Fox News anchor Shepard Smith for his righteous worry about the alarming state of an increasingly extremist-laden America in which even the nationality of our president is questioned. Fox News …
