You don't see this too often.
Shep Smith's guest was an executive from security software firm Symantec. He was there to discuss the recent case involving Chinese hackers who reportedly gained access to some Gmail user accounts. Smith started to smell something fishy when the guest kept praising Google for "coming forward" with information about the incident.

It didn't sound like Smith knew who the guest was before he read the intro as he was tossing to him.
I wonder how the Symantec exec came to be on the show in the first place. Did the Studio B producers reach out to him specifically? Was it set up through a PR firm representing Symantec and/or Google?
Either way, when Smith learned during the interview about the business relationship between the two companies, he was annoyed enough to shut the whole conversation down.
