HMM: Shepard Smith leaves Fox News Channel. He was probably the viewers’ least favorite anchor, but this seems rather . . . sudden.

UPDATE: “He was escorted out by security, per sources.”

UPDATE (From Ed): “From a Fox News spokesperson: ‘Shep’s exit from the building was planned and executed by Shep with Fox’s complete approval and the full support of FOX News – he was not remotely escorted out.’”

More (From Ed): “NBC News reporter Jo Ling Kent has deleted her erroneous tweet claiming that Shep Smith was escorted out by Fox News security.”
