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.”

Meanwhile, Mike Wallace, Jr. interviewed Liz Cheney-Dumb-Dumb on FOX News Sunday. Chris Salcedo (Newsmax) was skewering Wallace on his show earlier this evening.

I don’t think they could afford him.

Depends on whether or not he had a non-compete in his contract that would apply.

Yes, I believe so. It’s grandstanding to make this offer in public but the fake news militia aka CNN, have a history of shameless public job offerings to leftard tools as well.

However, it’s up to Lou to accept or not. I think he should take a year off to refresh and I’m almost SURE some idiot at Fox Business was whispering in his ear daily to go woke, which most probably resulted in his dismissal.

The whole “Smartmatic/Dominion” game is just that - a shell game.

There is enough evidence already, totally demonstrating these foreign companies as enemy tool front proxy corps, used by our nation’s greatest enemies, specifically to eliminate US citizen elections, and to install a foreign picked US government.

The threat of lawsuit is only being played, because the enemy believes they have criminal impunity.

If it went further than threats, they really would open themselves up to global scale self-incrimination.

Fox knows this, (as all corps know), and is simply using the threat as an excuse to try and eliminate conservatism. Not for a second are the Murdoch’s afraid of the fake lawsuit threats. They are on the same page, and total lockstep.

It’s real enough that, if Lou Dobbs gave him a call, he would be an immediate hire. It is no trouble to fit him in because they film all shows during the day and show them on the channel at whatever time the network chooses.

Fox Business , where Dobbs would broadcast his show, was the channel I’d go to because I felt it was more conservative than the regular Fox . When Fox lost Herridge and Fox Business got rid of Trish Regan that was the signal that they were sinking ..to the wrong side.

".....don't have a clue what to do about it."

They can't do anything about it. It is like cooking. Once the goose is cooked, the goose is cooked.

If there was evidence, the organizations that claimed election fraud would fight rather than fold. Any crying and wanking about “oh boo hoo, they’re afraid of the lawsuit and those mean ol’ judges won’t let our evidence be heard’ is the biggest bunch of whining BS in years.

If you’re right, you go to court, if you’ve been lying your ass off, you fold; facts, end of subject.

If even a republican appointed court won’t listen to your case, you don’t have one. Period.

First, Lou Dobb has an Agent, that Agency has a law firm......

Dobbs doesn’t just stroll in for an interview.....his Agent has to meet with them, probably multiple times, then they will meet, etc..... Then the lawyers get involved...

Regardless of the client’s wishes, if the Agent believes he can get more money somewhere else....well, he’s under contract.....

That’s aside from any non-compete’s he may have with Fox...

If OANN were serious, they would have just contacted Dobb’s Agent directly...

I think Lou is one of those guys who is happy working as long as he can. If he gets lots of time off and short hours....it’s the perfect combo.

In the story where he was let go it said that he remains under contract with Fox. I hope that doesn’t mean he’s their prisoner for however long his contract term is.
