Shep Smith left Fox News on October 11, 2019 (he started with CNBC on July 8, 2020). He left Fox two weeks after an ugly incident with Tucker Carlson, who brought on a guest who said Fox’s Andrew Napolitano was a “fool” for analysis offered on Smith’s show. Smith said on the air that Carlson’s attack was repugnant.
According to Heather Cox Richardson:
On Tuesday, Shepard Smith, a reporter who worked at the Fox News Channel until 2019 and who now has a show at CNBC, explained to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour why he left his job at the FNC. " I believe that when people begin with a false premise and lead people astray, that's injurious to society," Smith continued, "and it's the antithesis of what we should be doing."
"I don't know how some people sleep at night,” Smith said, “because I know there are a lot of people who have propagated the lies and have pushed them forward over and over again, who are smart enough and educated enough to know better. And I hope that at some point, those who have done us harm as a nation — and I might even add as a world — will look around and realize what they've done. But I'm not holding my breath."
