Fox puts another hole in their foot, cancels Lou Dobbs

Good day all. Since the election, Fox News has been sliding in the ratings. The reason is simple. The second generation of Murdochs now running the network are progressive Woke idiots who would rather be a part of the problem then a solution to it. Now they have redoubled their efforts in sinking Fox News.

Last night, (February 5th), it was announced that Lou Dobbs had been fired. Dobbs was and is a big supporter of President Trump, (Which he made known to his viewers), and like millions of Americans, believe the election was stolen from President Trump. The moonbats now running Fox decided that Dobbs must go. Here are the details from Newsmax:

Fox News has canceled ”Lou Dobbs Tonight,” the program hosted by one of the media’s most steadfast supporters of Donald Trump and the former president’s claims of voter fraud, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

I saw the L.A. Slimes report, and to me it seemed they were trying not to be blatantly obvious in doing their happy dance over another Trump supporter being taken out by the dark forces of evil and progressiveness.

Dobbs’ program, which has been airing twice nightly at 5 and 7 p.m. ET on the Fox Business Network, will be replaced next week with ”Fox Business Tonight,” with rotating substitute hosts Jackie DeAngelis and David Asman, who filled in for Dobbs on Friday. This, according to a Fox rep who confirmed the news to the Times.

I didn’t generally watch Lou Dobbs, but on occasion I would tune in if I had nothing else going on. I found him to be informative and always trying to keep his facts straight. Normally I would see him when he popped up on one of the other shows to offer his comments on something. Now I have another reason to forget about Fox News.

Dobbs, 75, remains under contract at Fox News, the newspaper said, but his future on the conservative news network is murky.

Oh I think I can guess his future. Fox will probably buy out his contract, unless they can find a way to void it, and then boot him out the door.

The cancellation comes a day after a large 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 said the hosts helped to spread lies about Smartmatic’s role in the presidential election, to the detriment of its reputation and its business.

Well, we shall see about that, won’t we? Those with law degrees, such as Jeanine Pirro, are probably salivating at the idea of digging through all of Smartmatic’s files, compiled and source codes and the machines. Someone wasn’t thinking to clearly about the discovery process and how it works.

As I mentioned earlier, Fox has been in big trouble since the election. Many of President Trump’s supporters have stopped watching Fox altogether, and headed for either Newsmax or OAN. From what I’ve been reading, only the evening commentary programs, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham  have been keeping Fox’s ratings from cratering even further.

Fox News has been in turmoil as long-time viewers have abandoned the channel since Election Day. Former President Donald Trump has attributed his election loss to Joe Biden to unfair coverage by Fox News as well as massive voter fraud.

The firing of Dobbs will add weight to critics’ claims the network has gone soft backing conservative views. Fox has also been reeling as its ratings have been in a tailspin as the network has dropped to third place behind CNN and MSNBC.

As the saying goes, “Get Woke, Go Broke.” Fox’s conservative viewers have decided that if they want to watch fake news or communist commentary, they may as well go to the experts, such as CNN.

Newsmax appears to be the main beneficiary as its viewership has soared. Newsmax is now the 4th highest-rated cable news channel in the U.S.

And I will state for the record that I now have Newsmax as my default channel where I used to have Fox News. I won’t be at all surprised that as soon as the contract issues are squared away, Newsmax picks up Lou Dobbs and puts him back on the air. At the rate things are going at Fox, I expect Carlson, Hannity and Ingraham, as well as the other conservative commentators to leave as well. If that happens, then the advertisers will start leaving, and Fox News will die. What a pity. We wish Mr. Dobbs good luck and good fortune.

Thatisall
