Lou is the only light of sanity on CNN and hardly liberal. They fired him years ago mainly because of his non-liberal views only to have to eat crow and bring him back after two years of sinking ratings.
He may be "conservative" by CNN standards but not by mine and many other conservatives. That's why he and CNN are getting their butts kicked by Fox.
It was amusing to watch CNN go back to the guy after they fired him. Lou, strangely enough, was not picked up by one of the major networks during that period. He did several things...but it almost looks like he purposely waited on CNN to call him up and ask him back. And I suspect he named his own terms and demanded his hand-picked crew to run the show.
Today, Lou could easily step into CBS and run the nightly news there, and i'm surprised that Katie Couric is the one they are asking. Lou would take anwful lot of viewers with him....and I think he would be the trusted name in nightly news if he did get offered the position.
Yours is the first comment on the thread to this point that makes sense. You are right. Lou Dobbs is not a liberal, is not a moron, and is not ignorant of international economics.
"They fired him years ago mainly because of his non-liberal views only to have to eat crow and bring him back after two years of sinking ratings."
No, he quit to take a flyer on a dot-com. When it dot-bombed, he came crawling back.
He's a ratings whore who engages in immigrant bashing and plays to the doom-and-gloom crowd.
