You knew it would not work. Shepard Smith is out at CNBC. Smith left Fox News, after turning Left in his final years there. He thought he could go to CNBC and replicate his Fox audience. No way. He was insufferable to listen to in the last few years at Fox News. I’m sure it remained the same at CNBC. With CNN shaking things up – could that be his next stop?
Like many other TV anchors at business-news outlet CNBC, Shepard Smith finds himself facing a closing bell.
The veteran journalist, who arrived at the NBCUniversal venue in the fall of 2020 with a mission to grow the network’s audience in early evening with a non-partisan general-news program, will leave CNBC as it focuses more intently on its core product: information tailored for viewers interested in the markets and personal finance.
Smith’s last show will air later in November. . .
