CNN's "Lou Dobbs" Calls Out Reporter's Anti Palin Bias On live TV
Live tv-CNN | 09-15-08 | slef

Posted on 09/15/2008 4:48:23 PM PDT by icwhatudo

Anyone just catch CNN's Lou Dobbs grilling the female reporter who was covering a Palin speech? Just got a call from someone who watched it who told me:

"She snidely was talking about Palin using a prepared speech and teleprompter when Dobbs broke in and asked, "Does Obama still use a teleprompter?" "Does Obama write his own speeches?" She was like a deer in the headlights! She started talking about how she answered no questions and then Dobbs asked "how many questions did Obama answer after his speech today?" She had to ask her producer (on live TV-LOL) and then there was quiet until she answered "4 questions". Dobbs then said something like "Wow, some press conference"

Please tell me someone has this on YouTube!

Lou Dobbs? of all people? isn’t he an angry left-winger?

Actually, Lou Dobbs slams both parties. Targets more Republicans most of the time, but is overall relatively fair, I believe.

Dobbs is anything but left wing... More of a right of center populist.

Dobbs is more of a libertarian, not a left-winger. He is generally fair and reliable. He has recently been outspoken regarding the media’s lack of objectivity in connection with Sarah Palin and is on record saying this has been the worst coverage he has ever seen. Dobbs is one of the few good ones....I just don’t watch him since he is on “that” network.

I saw that. It was Dana Bash. When Dobbs was done with her she looked like she'd eaten an ear of corn--sideways. It was a beautiful thing. He worked on her like a dog gnawing a bone.

From the sounds of it, she was taken aback at being questioned. Democrat yapping heads aren’t used to being questioned when they spout their nonsense. They definitely aren’t used to being help accountable for what they say.

ABC has a rabid anti-Palin reporter on her campaign. He ends every report with a sarcastic put down of her similar to the CNN reporter you mention. Completely out in the open and in your face.

Lou is probably the fairest out of all them, with equal opportunity slamming of both parties.

I did not see this segment but tonight Dobbs lit into BO, calling his policy on illegal immigration ‘abysmal’ and ‘rancid’ - BO calling federal INS agents ‘Gestapo.’

It was something.

I heard Lou Dobbs on the Chris Plante show a week or so ago talking about illegal immigration. Man! He let both sides have it, no holds barred. It was one of the best stump speeches I’ve never heard.

I can’t figure out Lou. Sometimes he disappoints but, Damn! Evenhanded is all we ask. Damn proud of you, Mr. Dobbs. If you are consistently like this we can have no complaints.

Dobbs is also pretty hard on illegal immigration alien invasion.

An almost lone voice of sanity rings out from the mainstream press partisan pandemonium.

CNN has surprised me a couple of times this election. The tiger has not changed its stripes, but they have on a few occasions tried to show they are better than MSNBC.

Lou Dobbs must see the writting on the wall about the upcoming media meltdown and still wants to have a career after that happens. BY not participating in the full front assault on Palin he might have a chance once everyone switches off
