Fox News Media has canceled “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” the program hosted by television’s staunchest supporter of Donald Trump and of his assertions of voter fraud in the 2020 election, The Times has learned.

Dobbs’ program, which airs twice nightly at 5 and 7 p.m. Eastern on the Fox Business Network, will have its final airing Friday, according to a Fox News representative who confirmed the cancellation. Starting next week, the program will be called “Fox Business Tonight,” with rotating substitute hosts Jackie DeAngelis and David Asman, who filled in for Dobbs on Friday.

Dobbs, 75, remains under contract at Fox News but he will in all likelihood not appear on the company’s networks again. In addition to his Fox Business Network program, he occasionally turned up on the Fox News Channel as a commentator.

The cancellation comes a day after voting software company Smartmatic filed a $2.7 billion defamation suit against Fox News and three of its hosts — Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro. The company claims the hosts perpetuated lies and disinformation about Smartmatic’s role in the election, damaging its business and reputation.

Fox News has joined the rest of the worthless media, in the business to manufacture news.  Truth need not be evident!

Rupert Murdock I suspect is not very happy with what his sons have done to the network.  They will destroy the network, no need for CNN to attempt to have it removed from cable, Fox and the Murdock sons will do that all on their own.

When the courts are done ravaging Fox, Trump could buy it for pennies on the dollar, and transform it back to a conservative network versus the dipsh*t bullsh*t network it has become.

With Juan, Jessica, and Donna, and the two que balls that are guests on the shows, where can they go but up?  Well, they can go out of business with no one watching them.  Firing Dobbs will cause a large segment to stop watching.  If they get rid of Tucker, I would probably never turn the network on.

For me, there is now only (and that IS occasionally) only Stu Varney in the morning.  I was shocked and disappointed to find out about Lou. 

I am here just hoping that Lou Dobbs will soon become part of a Trump network.

Why are the Murdochs and others so afraid? :0001:

Rupert and his sons can go to blazes!
