Fox condemns rhetoric used by Lou Dobbs guest as host faces growing criticism

This isn’t the first time this week that Dobbs has faced widespread criticism. On Thursday, he sent multiple conspiratorial tweets about the bombs mailed to high-profile Democrats, Soros, and the New York offices of CNN.

Dobbs asserted, without evidence, that such reports were “fake news.” He called the explosive devices, which the FBI said appeared to be pipe bombs, “fake bombs” in a now-deleted tweet. In a follow-up tweet, which he also deleted, Dobbs said the “fake news has just successfully changed the narrative” with coverage of the mail bombs. Dobbs never apologized.

Dobbs’ comments about the mail bombs, however, irked some of his Fox colleagues. One senior Fox News employee told CNN on Thursday, “It’s people like Dobbs who really ruin it for all the hard working journalists at Fox.”
