Another Trump supporter, Fox Business highest rated show, canceled. More fallout from the Dominion lawsuit.
New York (CNN Business)Lou Dobbs, by far the highest-rated host on the Fox Business Network, has just been canned by the network.
Friday night was his final broadcast, a Fox spokesperson told The Los Angeles Times.
Fox representatives did not immediately respond to CNN Business requests for comment, but a source close to Dobbs confirmed that he has been benched by the network.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Dobbs "remains under contract at Fox News but he will in all likelihood not appear on the company's networks again."

Lou was one of the few reasons left to watch them.

Holi ####.  Money talks, and all the money is on the far left.  Trump yesterday, Dobbs today, who tomorrow?  “They†are going all out now.  The gloves are off.  Itâ€s time to fight back, or...  die.  As in we will be a one party nation a lot sooner than you think.  All because he questioned the integrity of the election.  Think about that for like a microsecond.  Their response was to crush him.  Not try to prove him wrong, but to crush him.  Awake yet?

Tucker Carlson has gotta be firmly in their cross hairs as we speak.  The problem with TC though is he is way smarter than they are.  He knows how to use his words.  That said, itâ€s only a matter of time now.  He gone soon.  Hannity definitely, unless he agrees to play nice.  Stay tuned for more Friday night fascism

It all started with the 'if you don't have anything nice to say' crowd. That quickly turned into silencing.
Similar to the 'positive reinforcement' burfle. Nothing negative could be said resulting in several generations of kids growing up believing missing the ball 17 consecutive times was succeeding because mommy yelled YEA!!!
When asked what they want to be when they grow up Chinese kids answered Astronaut while EU and US kids said youtuber.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

Fox knows if they get rid of him he will get scooped up in 2 seconds and the other network will be a winner. Same with Hannity

Fox host gets canned for sayin the 2020 election is rigged and CNN host spend 4 years saying the 16 election was stolen and they are rewarded though they have no ratings.
The Pub lady gets removed from a committee for saying some goofy things before she is in office because pubs follow protocol but AOC, Talib and Ohmar say outlandish hurtful things and get applauded. Â
Give credit to the dems and CNN they stick together with their lying selves.

I'm not surprised that an individual who got his employer into serious trouble would be fired.
I expect Fox News to do some serious retrenching on the stolen election story in an effort to minimize their legal exposure, it's already started of course. It's all they can do now.

You get to a point where you gotta make a decision. Do I quit reporting that there were problems with the election to keep my gig, or is my nest already feathered enough where I can just move on? If guys like Hannity and Carlson leave, Fox will be getting it from both ends -- lawsuit and far less revenue flow. Hannity and TC have the leverage right now, let's see what these guys do. I'm now hoping they jump ship. Will make my decision to pull the plug entirely that much easier. Â
To pretend there were no problems with the election is to be living an obscene delusion. Let's see how much integrity wins out. Â
Eventually this stuff is going to work its way all the way down to Joe Schmoe at work. Why did you call that transitioning person a he? You need to stop it, or walk. Â
"They" are going for it, and they know they have very little time to pull it off. This is going to happen at lightning speed. Already is. 2 weeks in and Trump is a non person on Twitter and now Lou Dobbs is off the air. But there's nothing to see here, right?

That is what one would expect but I am not convinced it's true. Large corporate sponsors boycott both Carlson and Hannity in spite of their ratings. It's so bad with Tucker, that much of his commercial time reverts back to local ads. If Fox goes squishy moderate, their revenue might go up substantially.
