Lou Dobbs A "Publicity Nightmare" For CNN: AP

AP -- He's become a publicity nightmare for CNN, embarrassed his boss and hosted a show that seemed to contradict the network's "no bias" brand. And on top of all that, his ratings are slipping.

How does Lou Dobbs keep his job?

It's not a simple answer. CNN insists it is standing behind Dobbs, despite calls for his head from critics of his reporting on "birthers" - those who believe President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States despite convincing evidence to the contrary. The "birthers" believe Obama was born in Kenya, and thus not eligible to be president.

1. Fire him and send him over to Fox where his crazy ass belongs.

He already hates anybody with brown skin.. just let him slide on over.

2. When ol' Lou ranted about "exporting the middle class" I sorta liked him, but he jumped the shark...

... quite some time ago. :crazy: He tipped right over from economic populism into racism.

9. When he began

to see himself as a potential candidate for president, it was evident that his grasp on reality had disappeared.

11. correct

I got off the boat (no pun intended) with his illegal immigration rants - while I agree it's a real issue, it was quite evident Mr. Dobbs failed to see illegal immigrants as human beings first, immigrants second and to me, that makes him a bigot.

3. Dobbs = Another Obama Basher. He's worse than Hannity nt

[progressoid]

12. To a certain extent, that is true.

Hannity is extreme RW so he's expected to hate Obama. But since people think Dobbs is an independent, they take him more seriously than Hannity.

5. On the contrary; he's just a less polished example of everything latter day CNN has become.

Biased, sensationailistic, and ratings hungry.

6. Lou's advertiser list

I tracked Lou's advertisers the other day so I know who to add to my boycott list (headed by WalMart) - see thread w/contact info (hope I don't get any headaches, there goes my Bayer bottle!).
