Brit has always been my favorite, but Lou has passion on this issue that no other tv newsman can match at the moment.
WOO-HOO!
Excellent, Martin!
Thanks for the ping, BTS.
He's being trashed all over for his anti-illegal views.
However, this says to me that the stop illegal immigration cause has a huge following and will follow the news to where there is support for that.
It also suggests that FOX is vulnerable due to their neo-wishy/washy "fair and balanced" stance.
I also think Brit and that show has a different role. Its sort of an traditional news show even though we know Brit is Conservative. I don't think its Brit's job to be a cheereleader for either side on this. I mean I love the talking head shows but after a while it can't be the only news source on Fox esp in the Evening.
Hmmmm, the "trashing" of Dobbs by the very short-sighted, I'd have to say.
I heard him being interviewed on the radio this morning. He's totally against illegal immigration, and he's going to continue speaking out.
Vicente FOXNews.
Whats wrong with fair and balanced. I don't consider that wishy washey. I thought thats what we wanted reporters to be.
"It was because Brett Hume wasn't on all week. He's the best anchorman in the business. I watch him every time I can."
Actually, I believe Brit was on this last week. Except for Friday which he always takes of to prep for Sunday.
Yes, I agree. John Gibson's department.............
I'd like to see Megyn Kendall have her own show, by the way. She's smart, is a great interviewer, never wastes any time getting to the matter, and damn, she's pretty!
The Dangers Of Mixing News And Opinion À La Lou Dobbs

Bush Whacked News
However it seems the news guys are fair and balanced and the opinion guys at FOX are balanced more to the left.
I guess Brit is a news guy in his 6PM show whereas Lou is showing opinion in that same time slot.
What's wrong with STRAIGHT and CORRECT?
But what the hey, when you get desperate gotta promote your CNN hack somehow.
A tipster asks: "Did you notice that Lou Dobbs beat Special Report with Brit Hume last week in the Demo?" Well, no I didn't, but thank you for pointing it out! Using TVNewser's daily scoreboard, here's a 6 p.m. ratings track from the week of April 3:
SHOW: M / T / W / T / F
Hume: 185 / 183 / 215 / 222 / 189
Dobbs: 159 / 269 / 186 / 233 / 198
That's an average of roughly 199 demo viewers a night for Hume, and roughly 209 a night for Dobbs. (Notice how Hume's viewership is more constant than Dobbs though.) Hume still had more total (older) viewers.
The only problem I have with Lou Dobbs is WHERE HAS HE BEEN FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS .Excuse me folks but Bob Grant was warning on talk radio for years that this mess was coming and no one wanted to hear it because they were labeled as racists and bigots! The only reason Dobbs has latched on to this is because he cant stand Bush either and he can club him over the head with this issue.
Im still waiting for someone to tell me what the quota for European immigrants is.Where do, as they say,11 million mexicans get to come in to this country and just stay ,who the hell are they .Why cant we take some from England ,France, Albania ,Romania ,wont they do jobs Americans wont do?
At this rate this whole country will be mexicans
No, we want them to report correctly! Blow off all the fair crap.
Dobbs doesn't give a d*mn about illegal immigration. All he is trying to do is use the issue to help the Democrats in 2006 and 2008.
Says a lot about the people who have fallen for his shenanigans and suddenly proclaimed him the savior of the United States.
