One Fox News poll result that has 2020 implications: Do you think the Trump administration is more corrupt, less corrupt, or about as corrupt as previous administrations?
More corrupt: 51%
Less corrupt: 27%
About as corrupt: 18%
Draining the swamp, anyone? https://t.co/W6p7KdDoyO

“Recently I asked the company to allow me to leave Fox News,” Smith said. “After requesting that I stay, they obliged.

The exact reason for Smith’s ouster is unclear, but Attorney General William Barr met with Fox Corporation CEO Rupert Murdoch Wednesday night as President Donald Trump has been ramping up his criticism of the network.

I suppose one might be suspicious but there's absolutely no evidence that Smith was ousted and it directly contradicts his statement.

The quotes were from the Josh Marshall link to an article by one of his journalists, Kate Riga.

I'll always wonder what happened when the conservative Trump supporting network loses it's most moderate voice and the only one that doesn't support Trump. But I expect better from a reporter at TPM.

A Fox insider told The Daily Beast that Smith was sick of being attacked by his primetime colleagues and asked for a way out of his contract. An effort was made to appease him, the insider said, but he ultimately decided to leave Fox behind.
