Lou Dobbs, iconic conservative pundit, dead at 78

Conservative journalist and political talk show host Lou Dobbs died at the age of 78 on Thursday.

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of ‘The Great Lou Dobbs,’” his social media account announced.

“Lou was a fighter till the very end — fighting for what mattered to him the most, God, his family and the country.

“Lou’s legacy will forever live on as a Patriot and a great American,” the post continued. “We ask for your prayers for Lou’s wonderful wife Debi, children and grandchildren.”

Dobbs spent more than four decades in journalism, most notably with CNN, which he joined when the network initially launched in 1980, and later Fox News.

He was an outspoken supporter of Trump and conservative causes — and notoriously questioned whether former President Barack Obama was born in the US.

Trump offered his condolences after breaking the news of Dobbs’ death.

“He understood the World, and what was ‘happening,’ better than others. Lou was unique in so many ways, and loved our Country,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“Our warmest condolences to his wonderful wife, Debi, and family. He will be greatly missed!” he added.

Dobbs was longtime host of his highly-rated right-wing talk show on the Fox Business Network “Lou Dobbs Tonight.”

He was fired in 2021 after he was named in a $2.7 billion lawsuit filed by a voting technology company, Smartmatic, alleging that he and other Fox hosts defamed Smartmatic while perpetuating President Trump’s lies about election fraud.

For nearly 30 years, Dobbs worked as an anchor, managing editor and executive vice president for CNN, hosting various programs before he suddenly resigned in 2009 after clashing with management.

A year later, he joined Fox Business.

  1. Nick. I dont know why you keep deleting my comments. The other day, when that idiot, Georgie Giarroutis (can’t remember the name” had posted conspiracy theories about the Trump shooter being an antifa terrorist, you posted his comments, which were proven wrong. You didn’t post mine, which were true. I don’t write anything that’s a lie, Nick. You know that. Even though you lean to the right, you are too smart to fall for the trash on the internet, like some of the idiots that post here. Why bring yourself to their level, by publishing their finding from the sewer of the internet?

    Thqt I wrote about Lou Dobbs was correct. You know that.

    • You may have said some things right – certainly very few. But you said them in such a nasty way that it would be offensive to the memory of the deceased to publish. Would you want to have anything similar written on the day you die? Or you believe people will not find enough bad things to say about you?

    • Hey Bobbi .. Nick is running an entertainment business, like all online platforms or cable Fox News hosts ..Shean Hannity! The both work for Neo Con Republicans in the U.S congress to promote them to take over power and money of America ! They are poitical prostitutes , and you can bet your last dollar .. his donation pool ..is from the Republican National committee and all those who support the Republcian Party Neocons ! That it Bobbi . but don’t expect this post to be placed , because we are saying bad things about Helleniscope which will tarnish their label!

  2. If I was free to translate the word :
    “ Truth» I was going to rename it:
    “ Lou Dobbs”.

    Αν με άφηναν να ερμηνεύσω την λέξη
    Αλήθεια, θα την μετονόμαζα:
    “ Lou Dobbs”.
