You are certainly entitled to your opinions. You can call it “fair and balanced” reporting if you wish but it appears more like “passing the buck” or “dodging the issue” to me. Go back and check the several reports that Lou Dobbs made about Smartmatic since the election because they directly contradict the information the guy was spouting at the tail end of the show. It appears (at least to me) that Lou got his tail caught in a crack and is now trying to play it down the middle, “There are lots of opinions out there about Smartmatic.” No kidding...there a lots of opinions about almost anything you can think of. If he had as much integrity as he professes, he would have called out this guy being interviewed...but he didn’t. Rather, he gave Smartmatic a headline that probably undermines the credibility of the Trump’s claims regarding Smartmatic;s role in stealing the election. Maybe he will address this very soon (I hope he does...I’d like to think differently about him), but if he ignores the issue or pulls his punches when he reports on it, we can rest assured that someone has pulled his leash. I’d hoped that he was made of better stuff. Propaganda? Whatever....

Your response is shallow and thoughtless. I have faith in Lou Dobbs - but he works for a corporation, and to continue to work, he probably has to accept certain compromises in what he’d prefer his presentation to be. I’ve never seen anything more blatantly ‘propagandistic’ as that last 3 minutes of the segment. Again, Lou had nothing to do with it - it seems to have been just a tacked-on appeasement required by Corporate.

I don’t know anyone who isn’t self-employed who has not had to accept some directive from ‘management’ with which they disagreed.

(And a even lot of those self-employed have had to do the same to appease various regulations.)
