Lou Dobbs fired at Fox Business

I have it on good authority that Fox Business has fired Lou Dobbs.

No public statement has been made but the Paul Ryan-led Fox Board of Directors and management wanted Lou to stop criticising Mitch McConnell and the GOP leadership, which he wouldn't.

David Asman did Lou's show Friday night.

Shame on Fox for buckling. Another reason NOT to watch this network.

If true I’d guess it would be more about a certain 2+ billion dollar lawsuit.

Fox seems totally clueless about the dramatic decrease in ratings these past few months and this firing will only accelerate the carnage.

The Lou Dobbs Show was the Business side's top rated show but that network isn't in as many homes as the Fox News Network. Still, now there is now another reason not to bother with Fox at all.

I'm guessing you're right

But Fox is clearly under enormous legal pressure from Smartmatic and another voter systems firm, Dominion, which has threatened to sue the network, but has not done so to date.

Smartmatic's suit against Fox named Dobbs and two other Fox hosts, Jeanine Pirro and Maria Bartiromo, as defendants.

The lawsuit accused Dobbs of having been "one of the primary proponents" of a "disinformation campaign" against Smartmatic.

Just a matter of time before Trump gets hit with similar major lawsuits. He'll never get close to being in office again. The faithful in the Republican party will regret their blind faith.

Trump has been told he could face massive damages for the Capitol riot even if he avoids criminal charges, with one advisor reportedly telling him: 'Think OJ'

More like, think insanity.

Like all the other cockamamie stuff they tried to "get" Trump with, this one too is bound to fail.

Liberal fantasies are not equal to binding criminal law. Always remember that.,

Dobbs is 75 yrs old.

He is going to get paid the rest of his contract from Fox.

He should retire

The quality of FOX has dipped tremendously recently.
Not much on it worth watching.
Except Tucker and Gutfeld, of course.

Juan Williams - can anyone actually be as stupid as he comes off on TV?

Agree, I hope the case isn't settled before going to court. Discovery phase should be fun
