Random article about Shep Smith I found with a quick Google: https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/05/shep-smiths-reaction-obama-gay-marriage-was-not-your-typical-fox-news/328343/ https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/05/shep-sm... Chris Wallace: https://www.businessinsider.com/chris-wallace-barack-obama-don-imus-2011-3 https://www.businessinsider.com/chris-wallace-barack-obama-d... So I think they have had the reputation for being willing to sometimes buck the Republican Party line for a while now.
