Lou Dobbs Bows to Roger Ailes...
dmztahoe

Posted on 01/29/2016 5:16:29 PM PST by dmzTahoe

I have always respected and enjoyed Lou Dobbs, thinking he was an independent thinker, takes nothing from no one, a maverick.

Well, tonight he lost all credibility, no doubt trying to please Roger Ailes.line and falls lock step with the Fox media machine.

Lou spouted off that Fox did not suffer from Trumps absence, that Trump lost in his fight with Fox. Dobbs said the debate was the second highest broadcast for Fox, with 14 Million viewers, and that he was proud that Fox did not give in to Trump's request to remove Kelly, and that no network should pay money as a condition for the candidate to debate.

Well, Lou, let the truth be told...

The first Fox debate on FNC drew 24 Million viewers.

The second Fox debate on Fox Business Network (FBN) drew 11 million

The debate last night, on FNC drew 14 Million per Fox, 12.5 per other sources.

FNC has a reach in viewership of almost 30 Million more viewers that FBN. Seems to me simple math and common sense reveals that FNC lost at least 10 Million viewers.

Also, the reason Trump did not attend was not Megyn Kelly, but rather the infantile press release put out by Ailes.

You have gone to the darkside, Lou. Tell the truth... you may not get that next raise, but you will keep the respect of the people... if that means anything to you.

Time to add Lou Dobbs to the "No Watch" list.

The FOX establishment is circling the wagons-not surprising.

Fox has been spinning like mad tonight.

I'm still for Trump or Cruz, but I hope Trump crushes everybody Monday primarily to burn Fox News.

Might be a petty reason, but I really want FOX's duplicitous asses kicked.

Go Trump, Go Cruz.

Your thinking sounds pretty spot on.

Why are there soooo many more debates on the Republican side? How many times can the same people same the same thing, over and over again.

They are already boring and there’s five more! I hope Mr. Trump decides to make every one of them an event to support the vets!

I watched him for quite a while until I noticed bits of ignorance poking out the sides of his mask. So he is just an empty suit who learned some buzz words, no substance. Down to two on FBN.

it sure is! so awful. It was apparent this week that Rush and Chris Plante joined it. Pray for America more than ever if we lost those two to the almighty dollar

Yes it is!

Trumpsters on RALLY threads are HAPPY, friendly, cheerful, and those threads are always just good times with friends. People who go to the Trump rallies post pictures and tell everyone what it's REALLY like to be there.

He’s right. The ratings were higher than for teh last debate — which had Trump in it.

FNC has a reach in viewership of almost 30 Million more viewers that FBN.

Actually, the difference is about 13m households.

So Dobbs is a whore like nearly everyone else at FOX. Who’s surprised?

I've come to the conclusion that Cavuto is as anti-Trump as Ailes.

I agree. Been getting funny feeling for the last few weeks by the way he talks. I'm sure now that Cavuto is not a Trump fan and by his little remarks put Trump down.

I you plot the debates on a graph you can see the the trend since the very beginning is downward. The will continue down whether trump is there or not. Viewers are tired of the debates.

Wrong. Unless you are an hourly employee, you are paid to recite the company line. Otherwise, quit or be fired. Don’t like, start signing the front of paychecks.

Pretty sure you missed the point.

If blind allegiance to Trump is what you think is required, you’d better add me to you pogrom list.

I saw that and it made me sick. I guess the word came down from on high and Lou did his bidding.
