Lou Dobbs resigns from CNN

[DMX7]

NEW YORK – CNN host Lou Dobbs shocked his viewers Wednesday when he announced that he would be leaving the network effective immediately. The longtime host of "Lou Dobbs Tonight" said on his show that it would be his last and that he was ready "to pursue new opportunities."

He said CNN had allowed him to be released from his contract, which was set for the end of 2011 and that he was considering a number of options.

"I will let you know when I set my course," he said.

The longest-running anchor on CNN's air, Dobbs was one of the nation's leading financial journalists before turning his program in a more opinionated direction. His persistent advocacy against illegal immigration angered many.

"I'm the last of the original anchors here on CNN and I'm proud to have had the privilege of helping to built the world's first news network."

CNN's average prime-time audience was third behind Fox and MSNBC during October, and it was even eclipsed by sister network HLN among younger viewers, according to the Nielsen Co.

So if you're against illegal immigration, then you have xenophobia? Are you a racist too?

So if you're against illegal immigration, then you have xenophobia? Are you a racist too? Well of course you are. that goes without saying. What rock have you been under. I mean what other possible motive would you have? Of course this test, is an across the board litmus test, it can be applied to many different situations. That's why it's so frequently used, a sort of one size fits all argument. Of course it's overuse seems to have rendered it something of a.......... fucking joke.

[Oh, Gee!!]

good anchor but a little obsessed with illegal aliens imo.

good anchor but a little obsessed with illegal aliens imo. I think he's kinda trying to make up for the fact the major media either outright lies about the situation, or for the most part buries it real deep.

Damn sons, Dobbs was making some nice money.

In 2007, Dobbs repeatedly and falsely claimed that Hispanics were responsible for bringing 7,000 new cases of leprosy to the United States in a three year period. The actual total number of all leprosy cases in the United States in that timeframe was on the order of one twentieth of that amount. The Federal Government's National Hansen’s Disease Program specifically refuted Dobbs' claims, but when asked about his statements Dobbs denied he'd made them and took offense at being questioned on the matter.
