Lou Dobbs Responds at Fox News
After His Show Is Cancelled

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 2/9/2021 12:32:20 AM

After being unexpectedly fired by Fox News, anchor Lou Dobbs has responded to the news of his firing from the network. Lou Dobbs Tonight was canceled after Smartmatic announced it was filing a lawsuit against Fox and several hosts including Dobbs. The network responded by saying, “FOX News Media is committed to providing the full context of every story with in-depth reporting and clear opinion. We are proud of our 2020 election coverage and will vigorously defend against this meritless lawsuit in court.” After Fox announced that Dobbs’ show was canceled, President Trump sent a heartwarming message to him.

FTA - "The network has been reevaluating its programming on Fox News and Fox Business Network since the fall and implemented a number of program and host changes in anticipation of President Joe Biden’s administration entering the White House." Fall begins in September, so how far back do those plans for program and host changes go in anticipation of xiden entering the WH? Since faux was in on the steal and all.

It’s kind of like Fox is trying to commit corporate suicide as today they had three guests on, who claim to be Republicans, I believe with Pierino, opining that Trump was responsible for the Capitol riots and should be impeached.

In my opinion Fox news started going down when they fired Bill Oreilly, the real heavy weight of the channel. Now they are getting rid of more conservatives. When will they come after Sean Hannity. Its just a matter of time. I think when their ratings don't recover we will see Geraldo Rivera jump ship and go over to CNN where any pretense of him being conservative will come off. Remember Alisyn Camerota? She used to be on Fox and I always thought she was a conservative, but not anymore.

I think if people are similar to me and my family, they will not return to FOX. I don't have the stomach to watch any of them. I really think FOX is finished. Just another organization that Paul Ryan destroyed.

Fox fires Dobbs, one of their most watched people at the station and keeps people like Rivera and Juan Williams, two of the most disliked people hanging around. This makes sense about as much as the crazies trying to impeach citizen Donald Trump. So long Fox..........welcome NewsMax !!!!!!!

I agree with President Trump Lou Dobbs is a great patriot, and a great loss to what's left of FOX News. Anybody who questions the stolen election is a target. If Smartmatic was honest they would offer an explanation instead of a frivolous suit for $2.7 billion. Why not make it an even $3 bil?

Am disgusted that Dobbs was fired----am not a rabid anything but watched him every night, and suspect the "last straw" in a network that has been censoring its anchors from saying that the election may have been iffy (the reason I stopped watching the otherwise wonderful Martha McCallum, went to Greg Kelly and found him too bland and then to Dobbs, who was great!) was he mentioned Paul Ryan, now on the Fox Board, last Thursday night and by Friday he was toast. I always watch Levin, Hilton, Waters (amazingly he is good), Carlson and ESPECIALLY Maria Bartoromo, who I understand is at risk. She would be the last d-------- straw for us re: Fox! You would THINK viewer loyalty would be paramount, now that Trump is off the screen drawing ratings, but......... They still, also, have people like the disgustingly biased (brining an edited by him version of Charlottesville up in BOTH debates, 2016 and 2020) Chris Wallace. He must have a viewership of twelve, counting his family, yet there he is.

First of all, there is no response from Lou Dobbs in this article. It's really old news. Secondly, I think it was just last week that I read FOX NEWS is now below CNN and MSNBC in the Ratings! This is what they have become due to their quest to be just like "the Others"! They have succeeded! The others have always been below FOX and now FOX has joined them as just another ordinary station. Such a shame. They still have Chris Wallace, Donna Brazile and Juan Williams as Regulars even though they have to know their former Audience turned off the TV when they appeared. I miss FOX, but I refuse to watch them because it's clear they don't care what I and millions of their former viewers think! So, they can stay at the Bottom of the Ratings, I don't care about them either!

The writing was on the wall last spring when Fox Business fired Trish Regan for her correct comments about how the CCP virus aka the "novel coronavirus", would be politicized to damage President Trump. Newsmax is okay - morning shows not too bad but the two women co-hosts in the morning - are they dumb or what? Stinchfield is too stiff, Spicer - meh. Greg Kelly - okay but stop with expressing outrage for January 6 - we get it. Quite frankly, don't watch much of any news as all it is another faux Republican like Tom Cotton expressing outrage at the latest NMP Biden EO - as if they had no idea of the radical agenda Biden/Harris would implement once they stole their way into the White House.

Not happy that this article was just a tease. I couldn't find a response from Dobbs anywhere in the article. And I clicked on it, (I suppose that was the intent) because Dobbs has been silent since being kicked off the air. Not a good look posting this article. That said, this was Fox's last nail in the coffin. I know many people that have continued to watch Dobbs while tuning out the rest of Fox, maybe with the exception of Tucker. So, this is it for Fox. If their new business model is to have basement ratings, then this is succeeding wildly. Go get 'em Murdoch boys. Another one bites the dust.

Why was Lou Dobbs fired by Fox? Perhaps because he believed that the election was stolen from Trump. Loo Dobbs told Trump to fight and to never concede. Loo Dobbs was a true patriot.

We watched Fox for over 15 years, probably 3 hours a day. Since election night poof! They are gone. Not watched even a minute because Fox was part of the robbery with the Arizona call. We were lied to. Fox is dead to me. I agree that lovely Trish Reagan was the canary in the coal mine.

The LEFT today: Don't let the sheep HEAR anything that might make them think thoughts that the establishment does not want then to think. Threaten them with cancellation if they have the temerity of independent thought. Once the China-Lite Social Credit System is established here, YOU will be put "on a list" if you dare to do a search for "Orwell." Look up "tyranny" in Websters ... Look at the tombstones in Arlington ... Look in a mirror and ask what you see there "where the resistance is" to the elites who would plan your life, like Liar Obama's Julia, from cradle to grave.

The left seems to be brutally destroying America's formerly highest rating 24/7 news channel, FNC, bit by bit. FOX was America's favorite because it provided actual news as well as commentary from all perspectives. But now for the most part, it has joined the dems' alphabet tunnel visioned productions which ask only the questions they themselves choose to answer with their lefty politicised pre-taped little shows/propaganda. Their, 'experts,' are chosen from the left's bag of tricks. Facts are rarely welcomed as showbiz staged scenarios bombard their productions. ...No wonder viewers have abandoned such waste of time channels when the factual news is found elsewhere these days.

Maybe its time to re-evaluate Chris Wallace's cellar rated show, Sandra Smith's slanted news reading, Neil Cavuto's bad decisions with FOX BUSINES (i.e. axing Lou Dobbs, Trish Regan), and that stuttering rambling Dana Perino ( who for some reason they just love). It's always amazing that if you have conservative opinions you are subject to removal, but if you are obviously left leaning you are canonized. I expect to see more exits from FOX and will look forward to them appearing on other channels. I fully expect Peter Doocey to get reprimanded. He has done a refreshing job at WH replacing John Roberts.

It did so by releasing a new 30-second commercial proudly proclaiming that "football is gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, bisexual and exciting." The ad begins by stating "football is gay" to the sound of drums rolling and people cheering. (I'm not sure what Dick Butkus would have to say about this advertisement, but I digress.)

WASHINGTON — Two weeks after celebrating America’s near “independence” from the coronavirus, President Joe Biden is confronting the worrying reality of rising cases and deaths — and the limitations of his ability to combat the persistent vaccine hesitance responsible for the summer backslide. Cases of COVID-19 have tripled over the past three weeks, and hospitalizations and deaths are rising among unvaccinated people. While the rates are still sharply down from their January highs, officials are concerned by the reversing trendlines and what they consider needless illness and death. And cases are expected to continue to rise in coming weeks.

The vast majority of Covid-19 anti-vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories originated from just 12 people, a report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) cited by the White House this week found. CCDH, a UK/US non-profit and non-governmental organization, found in March that these 12 online personalities they dubbed the “disinformation dozen” have a combined following of 59 million people across multiple social media platforms, with Facebook having the largest impact. CCDH analyzed 812,000 Facebook posts and tweets and found 65% came from the disinformation dozen. Vivek Murthy, US surgeon general, and Joe Biden focused on misinformation around vaccines this week

The three members who tested positive all have been fully vaccinated, which helps protect against severe illness.
