Sean Hannity Steps On Shep Smiths Throat After He Tried To Mock Him Live On The Air [WATCH] Fox News reporter Shepard Smith quickly lost the support of viewers during this election season. Things only got worse for him this month when he attempted to insult his colleague Sean Hannity. When the opinion of people says things and then later we get facts that are different, and I report those, everybody would love for there to be a war going on her, Smith commented. But its not like that. Everybodys got a job to do, he added. Hannity is trying to get conservatives elected. And he wants you to listen to him and believe what he believes. And Im disseminating facts. Its really apples and teaspoons. What we do is so different, Smith continued. Hes an entertaining guy who has an audience that he serves, and I deliver the news. His is probably easierhe knows what he thinks and just sticks with it. This stuff changes all the time. As it turns out, the joke is on Smith. Hannitys ratings have been through the roof. Many fans are appreciative of the fact that he has stayed loyal to his party throughout this tumultuous election process. We cant say the same for Shep.
