Why Fox News canceled Lou Dobbs

New York (CNN Business)Fox News' official reason for canceling Lou Dobbs' show -- a post-election programing adjustment -- doesn't quite add up.

Dobbs was the highest-rated host on Fox Business. He often doubled his lead-in's ratings.
Although Fox isn't saying, the timing of Dobbs' cancellation Friday appears to be no coincidence: It took place 24 hours after Dobbs and Fox were named in a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit filed by voting technology company Smartmatic.
Fox may see Dobbs as an acceptable sacrificial lamb.
