Saturday News Roundup: Lou Dobbs Cancelled, but the DC Police State Lives On
dbdailyupdate ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 02/06/2021 4:48:34 AM PST by EyesOfTX

If Fox News was already dead to you, it is probably even deader to you this morning. – Lou Dobbs, the pugnacious anchor and loyal Trump guy on Fox Business, saw his show cancelled yesterday in the wake of being named as a defendant in a $2.7 billion lawsuit against the network by Smartmatic.

Dobbs has been a fixture on Fox Business for a decade, and has remained a rare bright spot on the network as most of its other programming has veered to the left, causing a collapse in the “news” operation’s ratings in recent months.

Smartmatic is getting legal counsel and is being funded from somewhere. All the likely perps and usual suspects are meeting in one room (or online), and reading the same memo for action.

Likely at this point aided and abetted by the Murdoch heirs.

The Murdochs are tools. And are becoming less useful now that Deep State has burned FNC and FBN.

Fox News has been dead to me since election night. I don’t even watch my favorite people on that channel.

Just part of the big purge that is aiming at all of us and won’t stop until we’re all poor and/or dead.

I have watched Lou Dobbs shows since he was on CNN. He hasn’t changed his ways all those years. CNN went full on commie, now fox has gone there also.

Mr. Dobbs was and is consistent in his views.

“””Lou Dobbs, the pugnacious anchor and loyal Trump guy on Fox Business, saw his show cancelled yesterday in the wake of being named as a defendant in a $2.7 billion lawsuit against the network by Smartmatic.”””


The lawsuit is the made-up predicate for the FOX management to get rid of Dobbs.

Keep in mind it was the threat of a lawsuit that Georgia’s Secretary of State used to gut Georgia election laws with a settlement agreement.

Was his job news or views? I've always found it funny that people claim they want news, but it's views that seem to attract an audience. News Nation has been established to give news, not views. And it's floundering.

Dobbs isn’t done. He has many platforms open to him. Let’s stop worrying about Fox......it’s a commercial enterprise.

Fox created a format that drew viewers so it could sell commercial time just like alll of the other networks.

Stop treating it like it was some kind of political operation vital to the salvation of America’s soul.

When there were just the big three....run by the liberals left.....conservative voices
still found their way into the marketplace.

So Lou will surface and be even less restrained than he was on Fox..

The idea that news people can be sued for reporting is preposterous. The suit will be thrown out.....

He’s being replaced by Mark Steyn, who sits in for Rush and Tucker. If Fox wanted to cool things down, they would not have picked the pugnacious Mark Steyn.

Dobbs did both news and views, though his wasn’t a newscast. It was opinion. But his news was always accurate and his opinion spot-on.

They might have chosen Steyn for a different reason.

To ensure Steyn could no longer substitute for Limbaugh.

Be interesting to see Steyn’s contract.

They could boost their ratings by putting Me Again Kelly back on.

Steyn, you’d better know what the heck you’re doing crawling in bed with Deep State.

In any case, I won’t be watching while you do it.

Fox will receive large amounts of dark money now that it has shown it is willing to become just another propaganda outlet. These propaganda factories posing as “news” are funded by big money puppet masters who are promoting the globalist agenda. These puppet masters do not care about losing viewers in the context of needing said viewers to survive.

As an example, consider the Washington Post owned by Bezos. Bezos is worth billions and does not care at all if the Washington Post loses money - Bezos keeps the Washington Post afloat because he uses it to disseminate the narrative.

All the “mainstream” “news” in the country is tainted with this dynamic.

Lots of humor/speculation swirling around the interwebs this morning. It’s hard to tell which way this wind is blowing. I first saw it last night. My wife put the news in a fam-text this morning.

Lou Dobbs lives 4 minutes from me. Maybe I’ll hang a sign up that says FoxNews Sucks for him to see it.

Sheesh, gonna be a wild weekend.

What?

One likes Mark but won't watch him on Fox. Bad move on his part to get mixed up with Paul Ryan like that.
