OANN CEO Robert Herring offers Lou Dobbs a new home on the competing cable news network
One America News Network CEO Robert Herring seemingly offered a job to former-Fox Business host, Lou Dobbs, after his former network fired him following a lawsuit from Smartmatic, one of the voting machine companies accused of being complicit in widespread fraud in the 2020 election. “One America News would like Lou Dobbs to get in contact with us,” wrote Herring. “We may have a position available for you in which you wouldn’t be censored for speaking the truth!”

Dobbs’ show was cancelled by Fox Business after he and Fox News were served with a $2.7 billion lawsuit from Smartmatic. National File reported:
In a statement, Fox claimed that the decision to end Lou Dobbs Tonight was part of a wider revamp of the network’s schedule. “FOX News Media regularly considers programming changes and plans have been in place to launch new formats as appropriate post-election, including on FOX Business – this is part of those planned changes. A new 5PM program will be announced in the near future,” a Fox spokesperson told Politico.
CNN described the decision to cancel the show as a “head-scratching move,” given he often doubled the ratings of his lead-in, “a rare feat in television.”

Would love to see it happen.
Excellent!!!
Not exactly a job offer.....more grandstanding than substance.....
If they wanted to really contact him, they would have used more discreet backchannels which are available...
Why would CNN find the move puzzling?
CNN been doing the same, torpedoing its own biz, for years.
You guys aren’t in the biz to make money.
And now even those who weren’t clued in know that includes FNC and FBN, too.
It is not the least bit unexpected.
Fox is no longer a news organization.
Fox is now a Leftist propaganda organization.
Anyone that is Right of Center Left will be eliminated from the line up as a plausible excuse presents itself.
Oh I so hope he takes their offer up!!!!!!!
Unless Dobbs is contractually prohibited from getting in contact with them.
Has Dobbs released a statement yet?
There may be a couple of months where Lou will be contractually prevented from competing with Fox.
He may have to wait a while if a deal is ever struck.
Dobbs would be crazy to pass this offer up. But if I were him, I’d retire. Enjoy the quiet life. Job well done, Dobbs.
People use the internet to make job offers all the time.
Way I see it, it comes down to money. OAN simply cannot afford to pay the very high salary Lou Dobbs was getting at Fox.
Given that Dobbs is pretty old and very rich already, he probably doesn't really need that much money and may take a pay cut so he can continue to attack Dementia Joe every night on television.
Or he may retire.
Bits and pieces have popped up and not flattering to Fox News management.....
Smart marketing, smart hire, smart ratings. Beats the super bowl, lol
Agreed. A clickbait story written by a journalistic hack.
He got fired, so he can go anywhere he damn well pleases.
Serious job offers at that level are not tweeted.....
I would imagine he would go back to CNN.....They can afford him, it would stick it to Fox, and for CNN it would be a conservative virtue signal in a vain attempt to increase ratings......
Apologies to Mac Davis:
“Happiness is Fox News Channel in my rear-view mirror”
I need to call my cable operator!
Oh good, I hope he takes it. I will once again be able to watch him on a medium that is not a video. 8>)
