Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, a frequent target of President Trump’s attacks, is stepping down, the network confirmed Friday.

“Recently I asked the company to allow me to leave FOX News and begin a new chapter. After requesting that I stay, they graciously obliged. The opportunities afforded this guy from small town Mississippi have been many,” Smith said in a statement.

“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.”

Smith was among Fox’s first hires upon launching in 1996 and he became the network’s signature daytime newsman, often acting as the anchor to enter other broadcasts to helm coverage of breaking news like the 2015 Paris attacks and the 2014 riots in Ferguson, Missouri.

“Even in our currently polarized nation, it’s my hope that the facts will win the day,” Smith said as he signed off his final broadcast. “That the truth will always matter, that journalism and journalists will thrive.”

In a statement, Jay Wallace, president and executive editor of Fox News Media, said: “Shep is one of the premier newscasters of his generation and his extraordinary body of work is among the finest journalism in the industry.” He added: “While this day is especially difficult as his former producer, we respect his decision and are deeply grateful for his immense contributions to the entire network.”

Throughout the Trump era, Smith took on a “rogue” role at the network as it became overtly pro-Trump in its commentary and news coverage. In many instances, as documented by The Daily Beast, Smith even fact-checked the conspiratorial musings of his own colleagues, resulting in not-so-subtle sparring with right-wing Fox News stars like Sean Hannity.

Earlier this month, Smith clashed with Tucker Carlson, criticizing the Fox News primetime host for failing to defend their colleague Judge Andrew Napolitano when he was criticized by a guest on Carlson’s show. Vanity Fair’s Gabe Sherman reported several days later that Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and network president Jay Wallace conveyed to Smith that if he did not stop attacking Carlson, he would be off the network. The network publicly denied that claim, however.

In addition to his role as the network’s consummate newsman and fact-checker, Smith cultivated a reputation for delivering unfiltered, decidedly un-Fox-like on-air banter. “We are America! We do not fucking torture!” he once shouted during a 2009 digital show.

That video speaks volumes.     : )

The Twitter Friends Club was full of grief, and more conspiracy theories about Barr forcing Shep Smith's firing.

A strong, principled journalist. He will be missed. https://t.co/SsAJd3PXdm— Stephen Hayes (@stephenfhayes) October 11, 2019
A big loss in large part because of the obvious lack of will to replace him with "the next Shep Smith." https://t.co/kihC5zxEJS— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) October 11, 2019
Shep’s contributions to FNC over the last 23 years transcend the fleeting political passions his departure will stir in some quarters. His sheer broadcasting talent is off the charts & he’s always cared deeply about getting the story right.

Still stunned.

good for shep— your pal andy (@andylevy) October 11, 2019
Is he leaving because Bill Barr met with his boss? https://t.co/7H3pk9UZk4— Matt Lewis (@mattklewis) October 11, 2019

Let's remember Shep as he was: As a preening car-chase game-show host who mistook himself for a newsman.

Would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that little tete-a-tete!

I can't remember which hurricane, perhaps Florence? Early days, before he had his own show. They sent Shep to cover the hurricane. He suddenly yelled, "GET ME OUT OF HERE! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" LOL The camera showed he was standing in 1/2" of water. It was hysterical. Thereafter, I could not see him without laughing my tail off.

I haven't watched him in years. Apparently others feel the same way as he is #26 on Fox Corp. ratings.

He always had his own show on Fox. Shep and Brit Hume were FNC's first stars when they started in the late Nineties. Shep dressed to the nines, had a really nice studio, tried to do a video version of a radio shock jock show. He had a good camera crew and it worked well. I think he was FNC's top show until O'Reilly took off.

You're thinking of Katrina, I think. Shep and Geraldo were weeping and wailing on a series of abandoned overpasses, telling viewers that people were eating each other inside the Superdome. They even cried. Eventually, I think the network sent a helicopter in to take them out of there so they could be sedated under medical supervision.

Here's Shep on Hurricane Matthew: "You're all going to die!" Over and over.
