Fox cancels Lou Dobbs show after election fraud claims

Fox News cancels Lou Dobbs show

Dobbs, a vocal Trump supporter, accused of spreading baseless claims of fraud in the election

Fox News Media has cancelled Lou Dobbs show, benching its business networks highest-rated host and a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump.

The decision comes after Dobbs was accused of using his platform to spread baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 election. Dobbs has repeatedly claimed that the election was stolen from Trump, despite the fact that there is no evidence to support this claim.

Fox News Media said in a statement that it had "parted ways" with Dobbs. The statement did not give a reason for the decision, but it is likely that Dobbs' election fraud claims played a role.

Dobbs' cancellation is the latest in a series of high-profile departures from Fox News. In recent months, the network has also lost Shepard Smith, Geraldo Rivera, and Chris Wallace.

The departures of these high-profile hosts have raised questions about the future of Fox News. The network has long been a favorite of conservative viewers, but it is unclear whether it can continue to attract viewers if it continues to lose its most popular hosts.

Dobbs' cancellation is a significant blow to Fox News, and it is likely to have a major impact on the network's future.
