I want to say this is a shame but he's been pushing false narratives and conspiracy theories for years and this cancellation is justifiable. The mighty have fallen, he isn't as respected as he once was at CNN anymore.

Now I don't think she talks about business or the stock market anymore. She and Dobbs have both destroyed their careers. Dobbs at 75 will likely retire. I wonder if Maria will be next and more will follow after that?

GoldenShine9 1513 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I wonder if OANN has the money to pony up? Lou would be a big draw there. Lou (and Maria) have destroyed their reputations in the Trump era.

Georgie56 3307 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I think Dobbs will likely hang it up now. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18154-lou-dobbs-tonight-cancelled-at-fox-business/#findComment-256540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendir 194 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Maria had the biggest ratings for fox’s “Fox Primetime” last week. They are trying out anchors for that time slot.

Show page has also 404'ed; I did find the last episode on YouTube (how has Fox never gotten control of the gray-market uploads of their news shows, they have weeks of his old shows on non-FNC/FBN channels?!) and it was very clear with his 'join me for my best-of episode tomorrow' outro that something happened in-between 5:59pm and 7:00pm tonight that ended the show so fast.

TheRob 938 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The Smartmatic lawsuit has a lot to do with it. Plus, you have to make room for Kudlow, right?

Bulls and Bears has been on indefinite hiatus due to the pandemic (they put Kennedy on hiatus partly for that reason when Trish Regan wrecked her lead-in and she returned several months later free and clear of that disaster) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18154-lou-dobbs-tonight-cancelled-at-fox-business/#findComment-256548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
