CNBC axes Shepard Smith’s nightly newscast after two years. Yet another case of “go woke-go broke.”
His show has averaged 222,000 viewers this year, down slightly from 2021, the Nielsen company said. For the last three months of 2020, “The News with Shepard Smith” had 280,000 viewers.
By contrast, Fox News’ Jesse Watters had 3.4 million viewers in the same time slot on Tuesday and MSNBC’s Joy Reid had 1.3 million, Nielsen said.
