Fox News cancels Lou Dobbs’ show and is expected to part ways with the pro-Trump host
Los Angeles Times ^ | February 5 | STEPHEN BATTAGLIO

Fox News has canceled “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” the program hosted by television’s staunchest supporter of Donald Trump and of his assertions of voter fraud in the 2020 election, The Times has learned.

Dobbs’ program, which airs twice nightly at 5 and 7 p.m. Eastern on the Fox Business Network, will have its final airing Friday, according to a Fox News representative who confirmed the cancellation. Starting next week, the program will be called “Fox Business Tonight,” with rotating substitute hosts Jackie DeAngelis and David Asman, who filled in for Dobbs on Friday.

That’s a collection of court cases that demonstrate any significant “evidence” that could be used to justify reversing the election results was indeed investigated by the courts but sadly found to be lacking. IOW, Trump’s losses in court were *not* simply because of some technicality, because of only “standing” or some such, despite what many on the “right” have told us, but at least a good many were thrown out because the evidence itself was lacking. That should be enough for anyone (like me) who values the rule of law over everything (even if such rules deny “my guy”, “the win”).

Well that is the MSM Party Line. I think you are wrong but it should be easy enough for you to prove otherwise.

If evidence of fraud was actually investigated in any of these cases there would have to be some record of what was discovered that would disprove the evidence we have all seen. So why don’t you present that data so we can be convinced of the validity of your position.

Warning: Lack of Standing is a cop out. It’s good enough for Chuck and Nancy and the NYT but it’s never going to convince the Freepers.

We are so getting our hat handed to us

Amazing

Has a majority of voters ever been so turned on by its opposition and abandoned by its own party at the same time so efficiently

We are losing folks

What I hoped would be loud resistance to Biden for four years with shouts of election stolen

Has been largely silenced and is leaderless

And he had the one and only great “Fauci” on. Read a facebook comment that Cavuto tried to get Fauci to bad mouth Trump but he didn’t take the bait. Can’t believe I ever watched Cavuto’s show (long ago when he was still on regular Fox News at 4pm.)

The graphic posted below is all anyone needed to know about the election farce. Most of those numbers are very specific -- which means they came from research that identified exactly how many illegal votes were cast in those categories.

I’m afraid you are wrong there. Look at Navarro’s report where that chart comes from. Look at the footnotes with the sources (or lack thereof) for the numbers. Some have no sources at all. The rest mostly come from allegations in Trump’s lawsuit pleadings or from claims asserted in news articles and blog posts. Where he cites a pleading that in turn cites an exhibit, he grossly mischaracterizes the content of the exhibit.

For example, the 305k number for absentee ballots requested before the deadline in GA comes from Trump’s Fulton county lawsuit and a CPA’s affidavit, but that number is just the number of applications sent more than 180 days before the election, which is legal for elderly, disabled, and overseas voters. The 66k number of “underage voters” is the number who registered before turning 18, none of whom actually voted before turning 18. The 136k “machine altered” number for Georgia has no source at all.

Navarro’s report is designed to give the appearance of serious research, but that appearance does not bear scrutiny. It is hard for me to draw any conclusion other than that it is intended to mislead. But you don’t need to take my word for that.

I guess since Rep. Green now believes that 9/11 and the two school shootings actually happened, the nature of the Fox audience is also changing.

Unfortunate. Always thought he did a good job on financial matters. Did finance ‘stuff less as time went in, but still a good listen.

Was the only time I listened to Fox Business as I gave up on Cavuto many years ago (early 2010s).

Hannity and Tucker know how to “follow orders.”

They won’t even HINT at election fraud. That is verboten at Fox.

Maybe he’ll get the Farm News beat, and the sheep will be very nervous if he does.

I am guessing that Shep plays catcher.

Hannity and Carlson effectively throw their conservative colleague under the bus to save their own lucrative jobs. Both must be multi-millionaires with huge salaries, book sales, etc. But they are content to spew a watered down version of conservatism to keep their paymasters happy and not “offend” anyone. They are not journalists. They are minstrels in a Uniparty sideshow.

It’s pretty typical for about 90% of humans to rationalize small compromises for “the greater good.”

“I’ll just not mention election fraud, because it’s vital that the rest of my message get out.”

Hannity caved on Seth Rich a few years ago when he got the network ultimatum.

Goodbye Fox Business. That channel seemed to not be quite as bad as Fox News had become, but I guess the people at Fox don’t want any of us conservatives watching Fox Business either.

“......safeguarding journalistic integrity.”

WTF are you smoking? “ Journalist integrity? Really? I can’t stop laughing! They’re all fake lying bas+@rd$!

Trump effectively exposed them for who they are.

FNC wasn’t there to make money.

It was and is a Deep State asset.

Their best one since it flew under the radar so long.

Deep State has burned it.

Why?

They yanked him off the air now to make sure Mike Lindell’s proof of the cheating never gets aired. I have no doubt Lou would have ran it on his show.

Lou Dobbs is the only one I would watch. I taped his show so that I didn’t have to watch anything else on the channel. As far as I am concerned Fox is now completely dead to me.

The man provides a very well reasoned response with evidence instead of a knee jerk reaction and your response to him was this?

Responses such as this are no different than liberals at DU feeding in their own and have no place in a civil debate.

RSBN can scoop him up, and we now have one less reason to watch FNC, either Business or regular. FNC should change its name to GFYSNC.
