Fox News cancels Lou Dobbs' show; pro-Trump host not expected to be back on air

I also liked him about that time. I thought that he was pretty level-headed. So I was shocked when he went all sideways for the con man. I really thought that he was smarter then that. But then I look at the Trump supporters in my family. They are level headed people. And when I say con man, it doesn’t seem to register. It seems that the only thing that matters is that there is a R after his name and the other stuff be damned.

Well said. The R closed the deal regardless of it being DJT

yep! from what i hear not much better than cnn fools.

all of tv news a great big joke. that includes its presence on other media too, which is also a big joke

it really is odd to me that this is not so apparent to everyone, or at least many more

It’s down because they have a lot of never Trumpers over there and the network is sliding left in general.

A couple of other conservative networks are prospering because of it.

As Mark Twain once observed, The uninformed do not read the news; those who do are misinformed.

Donna Brazile cut my viewer hours.

Still like Jesse Waters and Greg G.

Twain never said that. Another Misattributed quote to Twain.

And so where exactly where do you get the news regarding current events taking place.

A crackerjack box?

What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.

Yes. FoxNews needs to get back to reporting how the election was stolen and the massive fraud. Real stories like that will bring viewers back. That is what the viewership wants.

Meriweather · 2021-02-07T21:07:03.186Z

Probably got him mixed up with Yogi Berra who once told a newspaper, “I really didn’t say everything I said.” Since it came from a newspaper, does it make us uninformed or misinformed?

That one actually is but I was actually waiting for someone to attribute it to Reagan who lifted it from Twain

Fox News Ratings Free Fall Is a ‘Self-Inflicted Wound,’ Insiders Say

The network fell behind CNN and MSNBC in key ratings figures for the first time in 20 years—a remarkable nosedive that has staffers worried and critics gloating.

Pretty good article. I agree that they miss Roger Ailes.

Just curious, who are the “never Trumpers” on Fox News?
