    Aren't we lucky that we have Bastions of Truth (like Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, Alex Jones, and QAnon) to show us the light.

    Anyway, back to Dobbs and the OP, the decision was a smart one by Fox (and I wonder if Old Lou can latch on at OAN or Newsmax).

    How rude. You haven't asked for facts, you're just attacking.

    What facts would you like me to present?

    Free speech does require personal responsibility, something Trump is incapable of, along with so many of his supporters such as Lou Dobbs.

    I hope that both Dominion and Smartmatic sue the pants off of everyone who publicly slandered them at Trump's behest, including Trump himself.

    yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is not protected speech..

    yell "fire" and it causes harm then the person yelling fire will be charged with a crime

    It is if there's a fire in it, and as even you imply, it is when no harm comes from it.

    What's the difference between his "supposed" slanderous bullshit, and you're slanderous bullshit against all things Trump?

    Are we to believe that yours is protected, and his isn't? That FOX is liable, and CNN isn't?

    below is the difference .

    fox news and its celebrities said over and over that smartmatic and dominion were corrupt

    fox also accused both companies of allowing votes to be altered and somehow rigged the election of biden

    they filed suit because they are sure they can prove the election was not rigged and they are not corrupt

    after all..they have withstood 60+ failed attempts to prove them corrupt and not even 1 lawsuit was successful

    so

    all trump has to do is file a lawsuit against the news organizations like CNN and other media outlet

    trump must then prove they are lying about him

    the reason trump has not filed any lawsuits is because he cannot prove them to be liars

    he is the king of lawsuits..if he could he would, you can bet your ass

    You mean other than the little detail that slander is spoken and libel is written? Donnie Dipshit is free to file suit - in fact, I welcome it. Discovery would be most entertaining.

    There you go folks, stick your neck out and you're risking getting it chopped off. Liberals think they own fee speech but it's the exact opposite. If they don't like your speech they do away with your speech. Case closed.

    call it Karma

    Trump attempted to bribe a Foreign country to win the 2020 Election .......... and was caught

    Just what the Republicans in Trumps 1st impeachment said

    " We the Senate will call no witness's ................ The Election is in 9 months .......... Let the people decide .......... "

    They did .................. Trump was Voted out ............ then Lied about the Election .......incited a Riot ............ and was impeached again

    Trump is a slow learner

    Yeah, how dare news media bring to light accusations of issues and potential fraud.

    Instead, they should just be silent. Makes it too troublesome for the left to keep concealing their BS.

    Amiright.

    It seems unlikely to me that you are legitimately asking questions as opposed to making statements in the form of questions.

    However, I'll give your question a go.

    For one difference, @Phyxius hasn't been named in a $2.7B lawsuit, so there's that.

    Another difference is similar to the rules here at PF. I can and have offered here my opinion that Trump's behavior since the election is textbook advocation to overthrow the government of the US in violation of 18 USC 2385. So I assume that you view my opinion as slander as well, although it certainly is not, and it is allowed by the PF rules and I am unlikely to be sued for posting it here, although it could happen. Ah, sorry, this is way too wordy, tldr for you perhaps. I'll continue just for entertainment value here at PF, which is really all we're doing isn't it?

    If you can't tell the difference between anonymous opinions posted here at PF about Trump versus Lou Dobbs and his opinions posted about a company and the quality of its products on FBN then there really isn't much point that I can see in having anything further to discuss with you. So, then, are you actually incapable of discerning the difference? A simple question that is preferably answered with yes or no.

    Trump is the guy who is actually in bed with China and Wall Street while he shines his "base" on with taxpayer funded rallies and rhetoric for four years, fueling a populist fire while dismantling the Federal checks and balances that remain just about the only impediment to total Corporate Control of the US. Ah, of course it's requisite to mention that Trump, the Honey-Badger who just really doesn't give a f, well, this is just all filler in-between the only thing he really gives a f about, playing golf and finding some grooves to slide his stubby mushroom dick into whilst he bangs it with his Yeti pubes. Ah, but he wasn't "hired" as many of his supporters here like to mischaracterize his election for his morals or moral authority. Proud of him his supporters are, with his disgraced fanboy Jerry Cuck Falwell Jr among them.

    Slander? I think not. Trump is more ripe for accurate fact based criticism than at least any President since 1932.

    Ah, but this is not the subject of this thread at all, is it?

    It's about a US publicly traded company controlled by the right-leaning Murdoch media empire, as main stream as the big three ABC, NBC and CBS for decades now, by the way, canceling Lou Dobbs one day after being sued by a private UK based company for $2.7B because Lou propounded bs claims about their products on behalf of his passionate loyalty to the man that in his mind was the last man standing between the US and the criminal masses south of the border.

    What do you have to say on topic? I notice you responded to several other responses to one of your posts but skipped responding to my comment. Do you think Smartmatic lacks the ability to audit where its software was used in the 2020 Presidential election? I used to work for Honeywell. Honeywell has auditable license information for EVERY single installation of its process control software on the f'ing planet. Do you prefer simply to offer diversionary opinions because you lack the ability to cogently argue why FOX is wrong to cancel Lou's show? Because so far, I've missed your post in this thread where you made such an argument.

    Conspiracy theories are not "accusations". They're pathetic calls by Drama Queens for attention.
    I know you're too smart to fall for any of those. Right?

    Just even a new story on the election and the voting machines could be seen as disparaging.

    This case will be tossed faster than a dress on prom night.

    No it won't. It will be settled out of court in favor of Smartmatic.

    If you were facing a possible $2.7 billion loss, wouldn't you be wanting to cut your losses?
