Since the beginning of the summer, ratings for "Lou Dobbs Tonight" have surged 25 percent
WTG Dobbs! He's got the best Conservative show on TV. His reporting is excellent and there is no shouting and nonsense like on the Fox Channel.
Didn't dobbs have some sort of 'ethical' problems that caused him to lose a job several years ago???
He left CNN for Space.com...I think he gave them favorable coverage...
I think it was a contract dispute and he walked. I believe he started some Space.com site before going back to CNN. Eternal Warming is right. It's a very good show.
It is a pity that Fox doesn't have Kudlow and Cramer. Actually, I like Dennis Miller too now that I think about it, and I think they share the same channel. Maybe CNBC is coming around. The problem with Fox News is that it is way too tabloid a lot of the time.
TRANSLATION: Time to cut O'Reilly off at the knees while he's down and go for the kill.
Last Gasp from CNN.
Dobbs isn't doing business coverage perse. His show is about issues like the O'Reilly show. He has very prominent guests. It's excellent.
Agreed.
This must be a real problem for CNN! Imagine their only success being a Conservative News program. LOL
I doubt it. His ratings have gone up since the beginning of the summer and that has nothing to do with O'Reilly. Dobbs deserves a better slot. He also deserves to not have his show canceled all the time so that maroon Chris Matthews can do political commentary in Lou's spot. Dobbs should be doing the commentary, not Matthews.
Lou Dobbs is not conservative.
What?
He's a whole lot more conservative than anyone else at CNN.
In what way is he a conservative? He's a Dick Gephardt protectionist.
Yes he is. He's a Republican now turned Independent like many of us.
That applies to Pat Buchanan too,
and he's always been called "conservative."
LOL. Go Peroutka! Go Kucinich!
Pat IS a cultural conservative. He's an economic populist/protectionist. Seal the borders! That's NOT conservative.
What is Lou Dobbs' cultural ideology? Life, 2nd Amendment, Property etc.?
I don't know about that but I seem to remember that after 9/11 he started wearing a American Flag Lapel on the collar of his suit and CNN tried to force him to take it off and he refused. And he came out and said if they pushed the matter he was going to leave the network when his contract expired. And then the matter was quickly dropped.
Not that I know of. He went to do some space type stuff for a while. When that didn't do well, CNN asked him to come back.
