[Not that it was huge surprise but at least it’s acknowledged](Shep Smith comes out as gay). I realize that being gay is not correlated to his choice of employment, but to be surrounded by all those non-gay supporting colleagues at Fox and hang on in that environment is kind of (to me) a strange choice. It’s not like he’s going to miss a meal if he quit at this point. Then again where in the media world is a 50 something newsman going to be able to start over as a headliner, especially coming from Fox.
Back when I used to pay attention to the news I used to always like Shep the best. He was always the most straightforwards and relatable. (wait, why is there a red line under that? relatable is a word right?).
Good for him being comfortable enough to come out and stuff.
Was it The Daily Show with Jon Stewart that used to have fun showing clips of Shep Smith? The one I remember in particular was a series of clips of him talking about the HBO series True Blood and asking the other correspondents if they’d seen the latest episode.
