I assume this article it talking about Lou Dobbs. Frankly, I don't know what all Lou's politics are, but he is dead right on two issues: illegal immigration and the "exporting of America". And he uses his CNN show as a soap box to preach on both. He is a tireless advocate for protecting America's borders and its workers (even Fox News is lukewarm on these)--and I salute him for it. The only surprising thing is that CNN hasn't canned him yet--I bet there is lots of chafing among the left-leaning news staff whenever Lou opens his mouth. I'm sure they ARE itching to fire him, but I'll wager the ratings from his show are the only think keeping CNN afloat.
And if they do can him, I am sure FNC will find a slot for him.
I assume CNN likes him because the two issues he harps on are outside the mainstream GOP. He's sort of paleo. And the left likes to use paleos (PJB) as useful idiots.
