He didn't get fired. They canceled his show. rsdsharp Feb 2021 #3
They did that to stop him from flipping to Newsmax or OANN. roamer65 Feb 2021 #4

Can't really be anti-Biden if 70% of the people like him and his agenda. I see Hannity, Carlson, Pirro, and Baritomo making their exit to Newsmax and/or OANN. Fox will attempt to move to the middle, but that really won't work, either. Murdoch's empire is in quicksand.

Although right now he has Jerry Hall to soothe his gnarled brow.

Lachlan does as he's told. James is semi-humanoid. Be interesting to see the dynamics when the old guy carks it.

(Doubt foxes do that, BTW. Couldn’t resist, but don’t want to malign the Volpes genus by comparing them to that right wing slime factory.)

At his age (I think Dobbs is 136) I think Dobbs can take full retirement, anyway.

Isn't his show one of the network's highest rated?

Have to wonder if execs aren't getting a lot of 'concerned' calls about the future of FOX

Fox applied for a license to broadcast here long ago, and nothing ever came of it. Local regulations are fairly strict against that sort of thing.
