CNN Finally Fires Lou Dobbs[Op Ed]

Now CNN can officially become a slanted, bought and paid for liberal cess pool.

Not that it already wasn't, but Dobbs did manage to project a few shards of truth here and there. I guess the communists can't have an actual free thinking American reporting their lies on the same network.


He is an excellent reporter and one of the only honest men on the idiot box. CNN may as well just run 24 hour recorded propaganda reels all day and night similar to what the Viet Cong used to do.

"Resistance is futile. Your leader knows what is best. Resistance is futile. We are from the government and we are here to help you. Communism is righteous"

Shuffle...repeat

I hope it isn't true. They need his voice over there when it comes to immigration reform.

What a BEAUTIFUL animal in your avatar!

It's interesting isn't it? You would think by now the MSM would realize that actively mocking and making a joke of your viewing audience isn't a ratings-getter.

I must have screwed up. I owe you an apology!

My copy and reply to thread method needs a little more work I guess!

Censorship you have not seen anything yet wait until you see what Mark Lloyd

will do to talk radio. Mark Lloyd newly appointed Czar that joins the

Federal Communications Commission as associate general council and chief

diversity officer will set the stage in trying to totally control talk radio.

Remember, this is the guy who helped co-write Liberal Groups Structural

Imbalance of Political talk radio. We wake up everyday to a new Czar

appointed by obama in controlling every aspect of our lives and circumventing

Congressional authority. It is all about control control control make no mistake. ^Y^

I used to like Lou Dobbs as well but I saw his transformation right before my eyes. He did used to be reasonable and made a lot of sense on many issues, but because I know what his motives are behind his Obama bashing before and after the election, I have lost all respect for him.

It all started early in the election campaign when Obama made a speech on immigration reform and mentioned Lou Dobbs as a panderer. This upset Lou and he has been against Obama ever since. Here is a video of that event.



Knowing that he took this personally and has altered his reporting based on that is disappointing to say the least.

I also watch CNN all the time and have seen his recent tantrums, but they are nothing new. I doubt he has been fired, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was eventually.

I cant find the link now, but there is one out there that shows Fox has the most balanced political demographics of viewers. Every single other network has a heavy democrat viewership, but thats about it. Fox has an even balance of Republicans and Democrats with a 30% viewership of Independents.

I've seen the same studies.

Heeeere it comes? Do you hear it? I do. It's the slow creeping footsteps of censorship.

Shhhh. Don't say anything baaaad, I might have to tell.

I'm not a fan personally of journalists having a personal opinion one way or the other. Journalists act like a filter. They recieve news and then tell the public how they should feel about it. Are you happy that stupid people can be influenced by journalists? News should be presented as-is, it's up to us to decide the rights and wrongs of it.

Sorry I can't quote...but some one was comparing Lou to Dan Rather. I must interject gladly and not humbly at all. Comparing lou to dan is like comparing bush to a russian chessmaster...there is no comparison. They went on to mention bushes military record. If you do just a tad bit of research..compare some dates...bush was a deserter hands down...daddy can't save you. That is what rather got fired for...doing his job!!! Lou on the other hand iis just a cry baby in my book. The future president puts you on blast and you aim to destroy him and resort to racial fear mongering (i'm thinking of creating a post about how almost every is hiding behind politics to let out some racist steam!) if lou gets fired good...he is not doing his job. Dry your tears and tell me what happened today..or what I really should know about the world around me ... Not your biased..butt hurt opinion. My 2 year old could come up with those.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the "blog" make the leaping connection of Lou being fired on its own, with no factual evidence?

Nowhere does the blog make a factual claim that Lou is being fired. It simply states that CNN will not broadcast radio hosts.

And then the blogger adds "I guess this goes for Lou as well".

In my opinion the blog is jumping to a conclusion.

Also from most of the posts I read here I can see people didn't even read the blog. They simply assumed it said "Lou Dobbs was fired" when it actually never did.

I can't tell you the lack of faith this promotes in the comprehension and research skills of many people here simply attacking Mr Dobbs (or assuming his forced retirement)

I won't defend Lou...but I will say he at least reports on subjects this entire site is all about. In a world where the talking-heads REFUSE to report on anything worthy of serious attention, Lou has brought attention to dozens of conspiracy related topics over his years as a commentator.

As for whoever said "they respected Lou until they saw his agenda against Obama". I just want to say "you are absolutely uninformed and perhaps blinded by the razzle dazzle of our current administration. Lou has been sticking it to the man a lot longer then Obamas been a household name.

I am always concerned when people's views are dated within a year of whats currently on the TV.

I'm not saying Lou is a god or a savior.

But he sure has spoken openly where others even feared to whisper.

Be safe and kill your TV...its telling you lies in hopes to cull your mind.

The problem a lot of people have is when your perspective of center is actually left wing, then center appears to be right wing.

Its great everyone has shared their opinions about whether they like Lou Dobbs or not but who cares really. If you like him watch it if you don't then watch another talking head its that simple.

That being said this thread is totally false and Lou Dobbs has NOT been fired

I only have this source which is just about as reliable as the source that he had been fired.

Loud Dobbs firing rumor false

Do stories that are false get tagged as false or just left as they are?

reply to post by ModernAcademia


Look, it was time for Lou to go.

This latest spat of supporting the outrageous Kenyan Birth Certificate claim did him in.

This isn't about his opinions, it's about what he easily gets duped with too many times.

Heh... well, that's because Fox doesn't focus on news as much as ratings!

It's called Yellow Journalism.

I thought it was because he is a Radio Talk Show Host? (A Conservative one at that!) Or at least that was the official reasoning.

And you are right, Fox certainly doesn't focus on News ..

I totally concur. Lou Dobbs was the only reason to watch the communist news network. I was almost amazed that he was even broadcasting there. He was a lone voice crying out in the wilderness against open borders and unfair trade practices and globalism. These are all the tools that the NWO is using to turn America into a third world vassal state.

Now that all dissent has been crushed, we can return to our carefully packaged marxist instruction, that some call news.
