Después de dejar Fox News dramáticamente el otoño pasado, Shepard Smith regresa a las noticias por cable en uno de los competidores de Fox News. Mira a continuación:

De la bestia diaria:
The consummate newsman has signed a deal with CNBC to host a nightly evening news broadcast, a person with direct knowledge of the deal confirmed to The Daily Beast on Wednesday.
Smith’s hard-news show, appropriately titled The News with Shepard Smith, will air at 7 p.m., following Jim Cramer’s Mad Money, and is set to premiere sometime before the election. The former longtime Fox anchor had been in talks with MSNBC, CNN, and Vice before ultimately signing with the financial news outlet.
In a statement, first published in the Wall Street Journal, Smith said he is “honored to continue to pursue the truth, both for CNBC’s loyal viewers and for those who have been following my reporting for decades in good times and in bad.” Additionally, he praised the business-centric network’s “vision for a fact-based, hourlong evening news program with the mission to cut through the static to deliver facts, in context and with perspective.”
The Smith signing is seemingly part of NBCUniversal’s renewed push to make CNBC—normally a markets-focused outlet—competitive in the hours after the closing bell.
Esto es interesante porque hubo informes de que CNBC buscaba convertirse en un poco más de derecha para proporcionar una alternativa a los medios de comunicación liberales por cable. Por supuesto, Shep Smith no sería considerado de derecha por la gran mayoría de los televidentes de Fox News, o nuestros lectores, pero en comparación con los locos de izquierda en MSNBC o CNN, podría ser más un tipo de centro-derecha para los zurdos ... tiempos interesantes
