#Hassan. Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 US media reported that Fox News Media has canceled one of its most famous programs, "Dobbs Tonight," which supports the presenter of former US President Donald Trump and his allegations of fraud in the presidential elections. "Dobbs", which airs twice every night at 5 and 7 pm, is scheduled to have its final show on Friday. Starting next week, the program will be titled "Fox Business Tonight" and will be presented by Jackie De Angelis and David Eastman, who have replaced Dobbs. The 75-year-old Dobbs will continue to work under contract with Fox News, but in all likelihood, he will not appear again on the air on the TV channel, the newspaper reported. The cancellation comes a day after voting software company Smartmatic filed a $ 2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News and three of its hosts - Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro. The company alleges that the hosts have perpetuated lies and misinformation about the role of "Smartmatic" in rigging the elections, which has damaged its business and reputation. But people familiar with the discussions say the decision to end the "Dobbs" program was under consideration before legal issues with Smartmatic arose. "As we said in October, Fox News Media is regularly looking at program changes, and plans have been made to launch new formats as appropriate after the election, including on Fox Business," the representative said of the channel in a statement.
