Not much to say, guess they really despised their audience.

Left FOX canceled cable TV, Lou Dobbs was one of the few I missed.

Fox is circling the toilet. I'd say Lou Dobbs is better off in any case. I no longer watch FNC so now there's a better chance that I might catch him depending on every Dobbs ends up.

Fox News Axes Lou Dobbs' Show; Top-Rated Pro-Trump Host Not Expected Back on the Air

Fox News has canceled ''Lou Dobbs Tonight,'' the program hosted by one of the media's most steadfast supporters of Donald Trump and the former president's claims of voter fraud, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

Dobbs' program, which has been airing twice nightly at 5 and 7 p.m. ET on the Fox Business Network, will be replaced next week with ''Fox Business Tonight,'' with rotating substitute hosts Jackie DeAngelis and David Asman, who filled in for Dobbs on Friday. This, according to a Fox rep who confirmed the news to the Times.

Dobbs, 75, remains under contract at Fox News, the newspaper said, but his future on the conservative news network is murky.

The cancellation comes a day after a large voting software company, Smartmatic, filed a $2.7 billion defamation suit against Fox News and three of its hosts — Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro. The company said the hosts helped to spread lies about Smartmatic's role in the presidential election, to the detriment of its reputation and its business.


Fox News has been in turmoil as long-time viewers have abandoned the channel since Election Day. Former President Donald Trump has attributed his election loss to Joe Biden to unfair coverage by Fox News as well as massive voter fraud.

Dobbs was signed to Fox News by its former chief executive Roger Ailes in 2011. As the Times noted, he has long been the company's most outspoken supporter of Trump's economic and immigration policies. In the weeks after the election, the paper said, he went on the air to express anger that the Republican Party did not do more to act on claims that the election was rigged in favor of Biden.

The firing of Dobbs will add weight to critics' claims the network has gone soft backing conservative views.

Fox has also been reeling as its ratings have been in a tailspin as the network has dropped to third place behind CNN and MSNBC.

Newsmax appears to be the main beneficiary as its viewership has soared. Newsmax is now the 4th highest-rated cable news channel in the U.S.

Fox, in response, demoted long-time evening host Martha MacCallum to a day-time slot as Newsmax's ''Greg Kelly Reports'' has surged.

They might as well merge with CNN.

I wonder what their ratings are down to now?

I'll bet Dobb's gets some face time on Newsmax.

Let’s see how long it takes Hannity, inghram and Tucker to head out. That would truly be the death nail to Fox.

Then why was he on Fox???

I cancelled Fox back in October. I’ve not watched a single program since then. I wont be going back - no reason to do so.

Dobbs and Tucker are the only FOX shows I watch each day.
I guess they don't want me to tune in at all.
No problem.

^^^This, EXACTLY!

Anyone else feel like they're trapped in an episode of The Twilight Zone?

One of the very last who would ask thought-provoking questions of ANYONE, who engaged in critical thinking and who called a spade a spade. A few years back when Fox had their "shakeup" my brother told me that they were on the way out.... that it would only be a matter of time until you couldn't tell the difference between them and MSNBC. Funny how Frank can be SO ACCURATE when it comes to predicting the future. Oh well, NewsMax is waiting....FredT

I haven’t watched fox in years. I respect Lou Dobbs and would watch his linked excerpts now and then. That said, I am glad fox is purging themselves of their few remaining true conservatives.

This makes putting fox into the enemy media column much easier. If that network goes belly up it will be celebration material just like any lamestream media going under.

What is the current thought on Hannity and Ingraham?

WJR

Anyone left at that corrupt news network is a sellout. Fairly certain Juan Williams will soon be their next Network News President.

Ok, for those who didn't read the article-Lou Dobbs is under contract with Fox. He cannot work for Newsmax. If Fox doesn't show him, he won't have a show until his contract ends or he is released. He MAY be allowed print and radio exposure.

I miss Alan Colmes.

He was my favorite token prog.

When Fox lost him, it was all downhill.

So Dobbs gets paid to sit at home and do nothing but plan his next career; sounds like the idiots at Fox are doing him a favor the way they’re going.

Karma at some point is going to kick Fox in the balls.
