Fox News' Shepard Smith: 'CNN's reporting was not fake news'
« on: February 25, 2017, 12:59:59 pm »
As President Donald Trump continued his attack on “fake news” Friday by blocking certain news organizations from an off-camera White House briefing with press secretary Sean Spicer, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith came to the defense of a rival network.

“For the record, ‘fake news’ refers to stories that are created, often by entities pretending to be news organizations, solely to draw clicks and views and are based on nothing of substance,” he said. “In short, ‘fake news’ is made-up nonsense delivered for financial gain.”

CNN has largely been on the receiving end of Trump’s media criticism, with the president having called the network “fake news” last month when he refused to answer a question from reporter Jim Acosta during a press conference.

Well Trump is a compulsive liar so anyone who reports on what he says is fake news.

Can't be a good feeling in the newsroom when someone can out BS them.

CNN is relying on a defense from Shepard Smith?
