Trumper Bill Hemmer To Replace Shepard Smith

Posted by Ellen -7835.60pc on December 09, 2019 · Flag

With the announcement that Bill Hemmer will replace Shepard Smith as the 3 PM anchor on Fox News, it is now official that a Trump propagandist will replace a truthteller.

From the Fox News announcement:

“Bill is an incredible newsman and his ability to cut to the heart of the story while humanizing major events has made him a standout talent in news. As we start gearing up for the 2020 election, we are thrilled to have him lead our news division through what will sure to be an eventful year,” Fox News Media president and executive editor Jay Wallace said in a statement.,

Hemmer will lead all breaking news coverage in addition to hosting the straight-news program from the network’s FOX News Deck.

Translation: Fox now has a Trumper at the helm of election coverage.

Some examples of Hemmer’s brand of "straight news" journalism:

After Donald Trump smeared Rep. Elijah Cummings, Hemmer prodded Maryland Governor Larry Hogan to attack him, too, while Hemmer pretended Trump had merely acted out of concern for the city of Baltimore.

Shortly before the 2016 election, Hemmer told then-RNC chief strategist and communications director Sean Spicer: “I’m looking at early voting. You have good news in Ohio. White share of the vote’s up three points from four years ago. Black share of the vote is down seven.”

After Trump’s unhinged attack on Germany during a 2018 NATO breakfast, Hemmer instructed guest Bill Richardson, ““You know the president’s direct. Don’t tell me what you did not like today, tell me what you did like.”

Hemmer clearly signaled he thought Donald Trump Jr. should refuse to honor a Congressional subpoena to testify about the Trump campaign’s activities regarding Russia.

You probably get the picture.

Smith, meanwhile, made a point of debunking propaganda – and for that he was vilified and either directly or indirectly pushed out.

In October, shortly after Smith’s abrupt resignation, I wrote that his departure was a power gain for the Trump toadies. Sadly, I was right.

Hemmer, currently the co-anchor of America’s Newsroom, said the change will occur in January. The new show is to be called “Bill Hemmer Reports.”

Watch the co-anchors' announcement below, from the December 9, 2019 America’s Newsroom.

Bemused, I do not have the ability to see IP addresses with our current host.

“… monor …”

Brings up a query for Ellen: are you keeping track of the IP addresses of possible trolls? I have a list but have forgotten how to search for the addresses. Would be great to “bust” any of them who write from outside the USA.

Clive, I’m the one who wrote this post. I and the rest of the writers at this site are unabashed liberals, writing for liberals.

However, we are also very careful to be factual and back up our assertions with links to authoritative sources.

You, on the other hand, have provided no proof of our ignorance, not a single instance.

Oh, and by the way? I do unbiased work but this is not the place for it.

Hi Clive. Thanks for your insight. If you would be so kind as to give us a list of unbiased monors, I’m sure many of us would be keen to write for them.

Whoever writes your trash is definitely a leftist and thoroughly ignorant of facts. Have you ever thought about writing in an unbiased monor?

mlp, LOL! Thanks, I needed that laugh!

Gee, I was hoping that they might bring back Dick Morris.

With expert news reader Bill Hemmer in the chair and Kellyanne Conway feeding the teleprompter from the White House it’ll be magical. I hear Hemmer is so excited he’s getting his dimples surgically enlarged.

That wonderful guy from a couple of weeks back who nailed Hemmer to the floor* over the continuing presence of #ucker Carlson on Fox should be giving lessons to fellow Democrats on just how it’s done.
