“Recently I asked the company to allow me to leave Fox News and begin a new chapter,” Smith said as per the Holywood Reporter.
“After requesting that I stay, they graciously obliged,” he continued. “The opportunities afforded this guy from small town Mississippi have been many.”
“It’s been an honor and a privilege to report the news each day to our loyal audience in context and with perspective, without fear or favor. I’ve worked with the most talented, dedicated and focused professionals I know and I’m proud to have anchored their work each day — I will deeply miss them,” he concluded. Video Below
