Chris Wallace pushes back on Newt Gingrich and Shep Smith is fired

A few days ago Newt Gingrich was on Fox News and claimed that the Democrat's efforts to impeach President Trump are an "unconstitutional coup d'etat." Afterwards Chris Wallace was shown a clip from the interview and was asked a question regarding Gingrich's statement that the impeachment attempt will hurt Democrats. He briefly answered that but then delved into the question of whether it is constitutional. He made it pretty clear that impeachment is quite literally in the constitution and that Gingrich himself led an impeachment effort against Bill Clinton. 

I think this is evidence towards Professor Pitney's point that not everyone at Fox News is a political hack and that there are still some actual reporters left there.

In other Fox News related news, Shep Smith has been fired following a private meeting between Trump and Rupert Murdoch. Smith was someone else who can largely be considered to be a real journalist. He was not always as pro-Trump as most of his colleagues and it seems to have cost him his job. The amount of control Trump is using to control the media, especially Fox News, is incredibly troubling.
