Fox News should consider taking Sheppard Smith to the woodshed for his incessant reporting of half-truths designed to make President Trump and Republicans look bad. I refer, in particular, to his most recent offense today, where he stated that Trump "withheld funds from the Ukraine just one week before" his call to Zelinsky.
While that is true, it is only half the truth. It seems Smith "forgot" to add that at the time of the infamous call, the Ukrainians were not even aware that there was a temporary hold on the funds, and that Trump never mentioned the funds in his call. Since Zelinsky was unaware of any withholding of funds, and Trump never mentioned it, there could not possibly be any interpretation of the call that makes it appear to be "extortion" or "quid pro-quo".
What Smith has done - and does regularly, just like Rachel Maddow and "Morning Joe" - is no different than saying, "John Doe took his elderly mother's money" without telling us that he took it to buy her the groceries she wanted hm to get. A half-truth is nothing less than a lie.
Again, I think it is time Sheppard Smith gets taken to the proverbial woodshed. It's okay to be a liberal. It's not okay to intentionally deceive people.
My opinion. Just sayin'...
