Fox News Media 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. Dobbs, 75, remains under contract at Fox

Lou Dobbs has been a must watch for us for years. What is Fox thinking? Most Fox News is unwatchable, with Cavuto leading the pack. We watch Fox Business for Bartiromo and Varney and then go elsewhere for news. We are getting ready to make OAN our go-to network. I hope he resurfaces on another network.

I really liked Lou Dobbs and his show was our required listening every day. He interrupted guests more often than Hannity, though.

I won't bother even with Varney any longer. Fox is really down the drain faster than a speeding bullet. What is this creep Ryan thinking??? No matter how left they go, real lefties will never trust them. I hope they will totally disintegrate and disappear altogether. Perhaps President Trump and a few other right wingers will start their own right wing TV station! 76 million people will be watching!!!

Lou Dobbs has been on “vacation” since Wednesday, so there has been something going on there. Maria Bartiromo is also mentioned in the Smartmatic lawsuit so I think she is probably next to be fired. I’ll be curious to see if she is on this coming Sunday Morning.
And I see Tucker Carlson is on vacation tonight.

Been expecting this since the fall. Bet he would not take the retirement fig leaf. Also affects his short radio show.

Someone told me this week that conservatives are in fetal position looking for "someone" to come and deliver them and the country from its demise. I disagreed --- but now I see post #1 and think my opinion was wrong; there's too many of these out there.
Earth to everyone: There isn't anyone who's going to come and deliver you. The Messiah is not here (yet). The only person who can correct the mess is YOU. It took years to create and nurture the insanity, as you call it; it takes more effort to fix it. Tearing down is the easy part; rebuilding is the hard one. Get moving; stop looking for anyone. Look in the mirror and get busy.

Lou has been unique in that no FOX anchor challenged the GOPe swamp as much as Democrats. Unlike Sean, Lou interrupted Republican lawmakers & party strategists & Ronna McDaniel when they wanted to come on and do the whine-o-rama talking points on Democrats. He expected them to respond to what THEY were planning to DO about it. He made unprepared spinners look very foolish. Republican leaders never came on his program for a reason. He went out fighting. I so respect him for never backing down on the powerful elites at all.

Lou Dobbs is a patriot who objected to corruption in our immigration system, our Intelligence community, and our 2020 presidential election. Fox News clearly does not want him, or anyone else, raising questions about how President Trump “lost” the election, when HE was the candidate willing to put Americans first. Biden and Harris want free medical care for illegals...something American citizens don’t get. They want our daughters competing for sports scholarships against men who claim to be women. That kind of thinking is harmful to Americans because it is dishonest. I am sad to see Fox abandon the integrity it once stood for, along with the Americans it once stood with.
Fox has taken sides against middle America.

Lou Dobbs was one of the few Fox hosts worth watching. I cut the cable cord a while back and have missed him. I guess proud Americans need not apply to the new and "improved" Fox News/Business Network. No dissenting opinions allowed.

Maria, Varney and Lou were all keeping me from cutting the cord. Getting ready to save $125/mo - that Congress ‘kept so cheap for me’...NOT...

I knew it was just a matter of time for Lou. They moved him to a earlier time slot. Lou Dobbs got angry and upset just like I do at times at all the BS in D.C.

Had I not seen it here I would never know. I quit watching those sellouts months ago. I'm sure Mr. Dobbs can get a job working for non-traitors somewhere.

I’ve been begging for our own conservative news network here in America for years!
Still begging!

More cancel culture. Allegations in the suit are not true (Chavez bit distorted from what was actually said). Jackie DeAngelis has a chirpy voice that will send viewers away in droves. David Asman is very good. But he will never get into anything that isn’t safe. He will stick with his specialty, business.

#24, Fox News (and Business) hosts stopped talking about the election a long time ago. Orders from on high. Just another network now, and sinking fast.

I only watched Lou Dobbs. I was watching Bartiromo on Sundays, but I just cannot bear Lindsey Graham on every Sunday with more lies.

I shall miss Lou. He was one of my favorites on FOX. I don't hardly watch news these days ... too depressing. I have been thinking of cutting my cable too ... I think it's time.

Yet another reason to eliminate Fox from your cable tv lineup!

Fox seems to hope they can succeed by moving to the far left but they are starting too far behind CNN and MSNBC. Bye bye Fox.
