Lou Dobbs Leaving CNN

Jeff will be one of the last people to get the opportunity to appear on Dobbs' show. CNN has announced that Lou Dobbs is leaving the network. CNN's story suggests that Dobbs is leaving on his own to pursue a more activist role on the issues that he has been covering, like immigration and the economy. We'll learn later whether that's the whole story or if the silence-Dobbs campaign Jeff Lord has been covering for us might have had some success. Dobbs was rumored to be considering a third-party presidential bid in 2008. He was the last of the original anchors still working at the network.

Now I will have no reason whatsoever to watch CNN. Mr. Dobbs was the closest thing to honest journalism that I saw on this news network. I suspicioned that he was becoming a pain in the side of CNN because of his efforts to be objective about the news he reported. I don't know how he put up with the subjectivism of that network.

Journalism has been called a third branch of government. Maybe it was at one time, but now it is a department of the executive branch. I'm glad that Mr. Dobbs was trying to be in the third branch and did not climb into bed with the liberal media as did CNN. Who knows, maybe FOX has a place for him on their business network. Yeah, thats right, I'm an objective conservative. I wish all the media was.

I hope to see him in broadcasting again.......... this time without being reigned in for trying to see things as they really are.

Goodby and good luck sir. May God bless you.

To Nilo
The MSM Media considers itself the Fourth Branch of government and a co-equal of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches.

The question I would to see answered is did Lou Dobbs jump or was he pushed out.

Guessing -- I think that Dobbs and CNN came to a mutual understanding. CNN didn't want such a voice of truth -- it wanted cr*p like Blitzer and the 360 gay guy. And Dobbs, I believe, felt like he wanted to say what was really on his mind, but didn't. A recent poll, maybe on Drudge, showed CNN coming in last, as in the tail end, like in the posterior portion of viewers. Until further notice CNN, you have lost another viewer, but one who only checked it to see that Blitzer was finished. By the way, Blitzer, that last reasonable thing you did was to report from the war zone in the first Iraq war.
