In case you missed it, Fox News has announced that Bill Hemmer will be taking over Shep Smith’s old time slot:

Seems like a pretty good decision.
.@BillHemmer is a pro – objective, but asks tough questions of everyone. Great move by Fox, and great for Bill, who has played many roles at Fox News since moving there from CNN. https://t.co/KKHoVlch7v

But CNN’s Oliver Darcy, who, along with Brian Stelter, is always hard at work obsessing over Fox News, wouldn’t be doing his job if he didn’t point out the glaring flaw in Fox News’ decision:
As Mediaite notes, @BillHemmer lacks the "contrarian truth-telling and appeals to journalistic integrity" that defined the 3pm hour when it was hosted by Shep Smith. https://t.co/D2E7G9jDUj

You work for CNN, Oliver.
And who is the contrarian host in the @CNN lineup? ?

Who’s the conservative anchor on CNN? https://t.co/0Zw4p7w1fQ
— Matthew Dempster (@dempstermd) December 9, 2019
We’re wracking our brains to come with the contrarian truth-teller who appeals to journalistic integrity on CNN and just coming up empty.
Lol, please tell me who on CNN & MSNBC have that "contrarian truth-telling and appeals to journalistic integrity"? What a garbage criticism of a good anchor.

It really does come off like pure sour grapes.
@cnn personalties throwing boulders in their own glass house. Perhaps a look in the mirror for everyone is in order

Maybe CNN should sit this one out
