GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

Breaking tonight, Fox Business cancelled Lou Dobbs Tonight and has fired its host Lou Dobbs out the cannon.

This will probably be the biggest shock in the junk food media for 2021.

Only a mere four years ago, Bill O'Reilly, the highest paid far-right agitator on sister network Fox News was fired out the cannon for sexual harassment and domestic violence.

Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell are facing a billion dollar lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic Systems. These individuals made baseless claims about the companies being involving in stealing the election and it led to death threats and damage to their reputations.

Dobbs who joined Fox Business in 2010 shortly after he was fired from CNN. 

During his time on CNN and later Fox News (and Fox Business), Dobbs promoted xenophobia, Islamophobia, conspiracies about former president Barack Obama's birth certificate and shameless promotion of former president Donald J. Trump.

Dobbs was a white nationalist who masqueraded as a business journalist. He often would try to incorporate business with his hatred of immigrants, Black Lives Matter and antifa.

Before his cannon firing, he hosted that gay fascist Andy Ngo to promote his book.

The move came swifty. 

Variety said that Fox Corp. which operates Fox News and Fox Business Network cancelled Lou Dobbs Tonight without warning. Dobbs would have three programs spots, 5pm, 7pm and 9pm. 

"As we said in October, Fox News Media regularly considers programming changes and plans been in place to launch new formats as appropriate post-election, including on Fox Business -- this is part of those planned changes," the network said. "Starting Monday, an interim program, Fox Business Tonight, will fill Dobbs' 5pm slot, anchored Monday and Tuesday by Jackie DeAngelis and on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday by David Asman.

Fox News had demoted Martha McCallum to the daytime schedule with Bill Hemmer.

Now that Lou Dobbs is out, who will be the next conservative agitator to fall?
Tucker Carlson
Laura Ingraham
Maria Bartiromo
Greg Kelly
Tomi Lahren
The Drudge Report
The Gateway Pundit
Mark Levin
Candace Owens
Jesse Watters
Scott Presler
Leo Terrell
Sean "Softball" Hannity
Other
Please Specify:

She had her show cancelled and its now running another opinion based show to compete with The Reid Out on MSNBC and Erin Burnett on CNN. The opinion show has no permanent host but its likely that it will fill Jesse Watters to the spot.

Dobbs been with Fox News for over a decade. He operated on Fox Business and was a delight to the former president Trump.

Trump often would have personal conversations with Dobbs, Tucker Carlson, Sean "Screwball" Hannity and Bill O'Reilly.

Dobbs, a veteran financial news anchor, became known at Fox Business for his sycophantic pro-Trump programs. He was one of the former president's biggest boosters on television, and Trump regularly thanked him in return.

The pro-Trump propaganda bent helped make the daily airing of "Lou Dobbs Tonight" at 5 p.m. ET (it also re-aired at 7 p.m.) the network's most-watched program -- so a sudden cancellation would ordinarily make no sense at all.

But Fox is under enormous legal pressure from a pair of voting technology companies, Smartmatic and Dominion, because Dobbs and other hosts made false claims about the companies while perpetuating Trump's lies about election fraud.

Smartmatic filed a $2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox on Thursday. The lawsuit also named Dobbs and two other Fox hosts as defendants.

Legal experts have said the case against the conservative cable channel is strong. CNN legal analyst Ellie Honig described it as a "legitimate threat" to Fox and added, "There is real teeth to this."

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

Smartmatic's lawsuit identified multiple instances in which Dobbs' program promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election results and said that his behavior was "contrary to his public persona" of being a "provider of factual information" to his viewers.

Trump sycophant Lou Dobbs is out of job.

Not only did Dobbs allow guests to defame Smartmatic, the lawsuit said, but he "took the initiative and contributed additional falsehoods to the narrative."

A Fox spokesperson said in a statement on behalf of the network and its hosts Thursday that it was "proud" of its 2020 election coverage and said it would "vigorously defend this meritless lawsuit in court."

Don't think it's the complete end of Lou Dobbs. I am guessing he'll turn up on Newsmax.

Newsmax is trying to chip away the Fox News audience. It's been slowly becoming the pro-Trump propaganda its been devoting itself to.

The far-right should be held accountable for the insurrection. Fox News is directly responsible for the worst incidents in American history. We will not forget the attack on the U.S. Capitol on 1/6/2021.
