Lou Dobbs Seethes: 'Even Fox News' Is 'Pushing the Lie' That Trump Disparaged Military

Fox Business host Lou Dobbs blasted his own network and colleague on Tuesday over Fox News’ corroboration of The Atlantic’s eye-popping report that President Donald Trump called fallen military heroes “losers” and “suckers,” claiming Fox had no “evidence whatsoever” to back up the story.

Dobbs, an informal presidential adviser who former Trump officials say acts as a “shadow chief of staff,” began Tuesday’s broadcast of his Fox Business program by tearing into The Atlantic’s report and media outlets who have confirmed all or parts of the story.

Calling it a “coordinated attack” by Democrats and the media, the pro-Trump host groused that social media platforms didn’t place a “fact check label” on what he described as a “hit job” against the president.

“The Associated Press claims to have corroborated the story in its entirety, but then didn’t have any evidence to corroborate it—not a single, single named source,” Dobbs seethed before taking aim at his own network.

in the media. He was once considered simply a conservative financial observer...
Now the only thing he can observe is an orange anus, or depending on the time of day, Hannity's face.

A complete sellout whose credibility is gone forever.

Let people who haven't heard the story be educated. Even if only 5% go and research it, it is enough votes for Biden.

These people are like playground bullies, really. They coordinate all kinds of fabricated garbage to throw at their opponents, then cry crocodile tears to teacher when their own true evil comes back and bites them in the ass even a little.

They really don't understand that "anonymous sources" means

"we know who it is, but we won't print the name"

It doesn't mean

"my story is based on testimony of people I don't know"
