BiggerBoat posted:True, but they need ratings, especially on that channel, and Dobbs' was by far their highest rated show. The article I read even said he was helping with lead in/out ratings so canning him seems weird. I get the feeling that FOX splintered a bit between the sycophants/true believers and the people who still think they're doing actual journalism and news reporting who are there merely to balance out the bias of CNN and the "mainstream". Something reached a head. Didn't Dobbs insist on continuing with the stolen election crap though, when even Hannity and Carlson know to back the gently caress off?

It seems like it's specifically what kind of election fraud you're espousing. Rush talks about how the election was stolen constantly, so does Hannity. However they're claiming that it was stolen through the "usual" methods: mail in ballot fraud, illegals voting, people voting multiple times, Trump ballots being wrongly discarded, and "suitcases of ballots." None of these are getting Fox News Radio slapped with a lawsuit because they're generic claims not about any specific entity. Lou Dobbs seems to be sticking with the Dominion/Smartmatic theories and those are lawsuit worthy though, and if he won't cut it out then firing him is the safest choice they have.

Dobbs was poison I thought. High ratings but no one wants ads on his show except the pillow rear end in a top hat.

Lou Dobbs and Larry Elder were the Reasonable Dudes (maybe John Stossel) when I was a kid so I'm glad to learn they suck balls.

Yeah, when you're defending billion dollar lawsuits. Still employing the "Exhibit A for defamation" guy isn't going to fly.

Yes he did and seems to be a true believer but I'm not sure. And like Twelve by Pies said... Twelve by Pies posted:None of these are getting Fox News Radio slapped with a lawsuit because they're generic claims not about any specific entity. Dobbs is targeting some pretty big well connected companies here with what I assume must be deep pockets. You don't get to run the voting machines and tabulation software without making a few friends from both sides of the political aisle and proving your integrity. At least I wouldn't think. It's why we don't hold elections on Yahoo! polls, Re-tweets and Facebook likes. Fair, free and above the board elections benefit both parties. The GOP propaganda arm of the party doesn't mind obfuscating reality or even picking on specific people so long as they're powerless or publicly funded. But Dominion and Smartmatic are hired and paid specifically to tabulate votes and, short of a 100% deal to reap the benefits and kickbacks of a full fascist takeover, have nothing to really gain by straight up rigging the system. It's why they're suing. Dobbs and his ilk are directly affecting their business. The powers tht be and people in control know this is really BAD and they have a serious problem...Frankenstein Unleashed, etc. Problem is, if/when they win these companies win the lawsuit or settle, the RWM and Q heads will just see it as further proof of the Deep State and there's still way too many of those types for me to feel comfortable. Several of them are in our government and grew up believing all this poo poo. The lords of it and the think tanks who hatched it all know better but were too busy counting money to worry about the end game. No True Run of the Mill Conservative "gently caress the Poor/Lower My Taxes" Reagan Republican really believes this RWM and evangelical bullshit. Or at least they didn't used to. But the proverbial eggs have hatched.

Kinda disagree on one point there. "Free, fair elections " really only benefit one party. The other party is gearing up at the state level for all kinds of election fuckery: making absentee and mail in voting harder, diddling with certification of elections, reducing voting places, gerrymandering, ID laws, anything to make it harder for people to easily vote. They have over 100 bills in dozens of states with R controlled legislatures.

This won't protect them from a lawsuit, if they actually didn't want to get sued they would give him back his money and refuse to air his film. You can't get out of a libel lawsuit by airing a thing all day and saying "Whoa but hey we don't endorse any of this, honest." Especially when the very last part of the disclaimer is "But it might be true anyway!" I think the disclaimer is just so they can talk about how "But we said we didn't endorse it, those liberal judges are just so biased against us!"

What is a huge red flag is them saying that other outlets have refused to show it. Uh, if you really don't approve of what he's saying, you can hand him the money back and say "No thanks!".

So I guess if local sports talk radio in a small town is any indication, throw Mark Cuban on the pile of of people who hate America that are worthy of a boycott since he decided just not to play the star spangled banner at his team's basketball games. Which is the right choice but in this country unless your constantly saluting the flag and pledging allegiance to it, you're a dirty commie or something. There's no reason to play the SSS at sporting events in the first place - or really any event that's not July 4th or something - but we're living in a world where Republicans just tried to introduce a bill requiring congress to open every session with the Pledge of Allegiance and got all pissy faced when Democrats were like "really?" Going to write my congressman requesting a bill requiring me to carry a bible, a flag and a pocket constitution with me at all times in my vehicle. I bet the dumb fucker would go for it.
