“ Dobbs, Judge Jeanine & Maria ”
Technically not Jeanine since she’s off, so Lisa Booths will be there to lick the boot. Which is telling. She is without a doubt the most outspoken Fox contributor on social media.
“Dobbs, Judge Jeanine & Maria have folded...to keep their paychecks coming?”
I stopped watching them the same time six weeks ago I stopped watching “Sucker” on Prime Time, You knew these Fox Business chumps were given a leash, and now it has been pulled in. They want their checks more than their dignity and freedom. FOAD all of them.
I thought that the roadshow that Rudy Guiliani put on with his team developed evidence that could withstand scrutiny. If so, why not dig deeper, report on what you find, and if they don’t like it, then let them sue. I’m not surprised that Fox News and Smartmatic will lie through their teeth to protect their brands but for Lou Dobbs to backtrack is disappointing. Always so tough, self-assured, but when one shell lands a little too close for comfort, he backtracks with the best of them.
Your post is sheer propaganda. If one actually watches the entire segment, a completely different interpretation will probably be taken. (Eddie Perez gets about 3 minutes at the end of a 34-minute segment. Some people may simply call offering a different viewpoint ‘being fair and balanced’.):

I thought Smartmatic had been banned from US elections like 10 years ago
I haven’t watched Fox News in years, and never will again. They can run whatever segments they want. They’re complicit in the election fraud as far as I’m concerned.
At the start of the Trump administration, Steve Bannon said that they (the deep state & friends) have stolen our country from us and they are not just going to just give it back.
Current events have proved him correct.
True that, but as much as we want to believe, Woods and Powell have self inflicted credibility wounds. No need for Big Brother to go after them.
18 Dec: MediaIte: Lou Dobbs Airs Stunning Fact-Check of His Own Election Conspiracies After Company Threatens Legal Action
By Josh Feldman
Dobbs started the segment by saying, “There are lots of opinions about the integrity of the election, the irregularities of mail-in voting, of election voting machines and voting software. One of the companies is Smartmatic, and we reached out to one of the leading authorities on open source software for elections, Eddie Perez, for his insight and views.”...
He (Perez) also made it clear that Smartmatic and Dominion are completely separate companies, and even more tellingly, ***he pushed back on the idea that there is a DIRECT connection between Smartmatic and George Soros***...
As soon as the segment ended, the show went to break — sans commentary from Dobbs.
UPDATE — Mediaite has learned that the same fact check will be airing on Jeanine Pirro’s show Saturday night and Maria Bartiromo’s Fox News show on Sunday.

***Wikipedia: Mark Malloch Brown - in 2014, he was appointed chairman of the board of directors of election technology manufacturer Smartmatic’s holding company.
In May 2007, George Soros’s Quantum Fund announced the appointment of Malloch Brown as vice-president. He was named vice-chairman of Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Institute, two other important Soros organisations...
In December 2020, Malloch Brown was announced as succeeding Patrick Gaspard as president of Open Society Foundations on 1 January 2021...
He is a close friend of billionaire speculator George Soros, with the two having worked together in their roles at the UN and Open Society Foundations, and he rented an apartment owned by Soros while living with his family in New York working on UN assignments...

IF they succeed we're truly ****ed!
Could you elaborate on these ‘self-inflicted credibility wounds?’
Posting under the influence?
Not with Fox attorneys wanting to keep the election fraud secret.
I thought Smartmatic had been banned from US elections like 10 years ago
I don’t have the answer to that, but a quick google will dredge up a lot of articles similar to this:
For those who will not bother to read....this is a story about several instances of US Government investigations of the company. Obviously to have a real understanding of what happened one would need to dig up the records describing the incidents, so I offer no judgement on the events.
Plus this headline:
Chairman of Smartmatic, tied to Dominion, a Biden Transition Team Member
There is a lot of difference in a threat to sue and actually going to the courthouse and filing. One can jump up and down and scream “I’ll sue” and the faint of heart dive for cover.
But once the wheels are put in motion and the depositions start the plaintiff can be in more trouble than the defendant.
I don’t see that. Fox knows with real statistics they have lost some 40% of Their audience. Literally overnight. Over a few years, that has to be worth billions in advertising Revenue. Now, I will acknowledge that we enter a new era where the highest ideal is apparently fraud. And maybe that is their modus. I of course have not examined all the materials, nor have I performed the statistical analyses of the election results. But the smartmatic manual says that admins can change votes. Smartmatic claims their machines do not hook up to the Internet. But they do. CEO Coomer is on record as saying that he made sure that Trump would not win. These machines, may have been certified, but Coomer updated firmware in these machines shortly before the elections in the swing states. That means that cannot be certified any longer. Additionally, I do not think it would be difficult to demonstrate that Biden’s votes were stored as integers plus fractions while Trump’s votes were stored as integers minus fractions. In total, I don’t think this is an exceptionally difficult case to prove, and I do not see how smartmatic can prove that their machines were certified, when those updates performed by Coomer were performed literally hours before the swing state elections.
How was that other freeper's original post "sheer propaganda?" I watched the video of Lou Dobbs' show that you helpfully linked. And I came away agreeing far more with the original poster's view than with your "interpretation." That wasn't Fox News being "fair and balanced" as you claim. Instead, it was Fox News washing Smartmatic's hands of any involvement whatsoever in any kind of election fraud or voter fraud in the 2020 U.S. elections. Basically, Fox News's 3-minute segment at the end of Dobbs' show says: Smartmatic did absolutely nothing wrong (and was barely even involved in the 2020 U.S. elections, except in Los Angeles).
The Kraken for one and Woods urging a Georgia special election boycott. I assume there intent was patriotic and in support of the President, but their actions seem to me to have been a distraction.
Dobbs just missed a chance to get evidence. Called discovery. Should have let them sue
Read later.
It was not ‘washing hands’. It was allowing someone with an alternate viewpoint to express it. I didn’t see Dobbs agreeing with anything; he wasn’t even the one questioning.
This was probably something required by Fox, to show that they’re ‘fair and balanced’.
(Sometimes you have to fight so as to live another day. I’d like to see how YOU would handle running a news corporation facing a lawsuit.)
