Lou Dobbs ran "election conspiracy" stories before the election. I doubt that he's run any after Nov. 7.

Lou Dobbs show was cancelled by CNN, but CNN gave it back to him if he promised to become a Pat Buchanan-type bashing Bush.

His comments about Lynn Cheney were disgusting.

I missed it all since I'm boycotting CNN and MSNBC.

Dobbs left the show because he disagreed with the CNN president about Clinton.

Dobbs didn't think it was newsworthy that Clinton was having a live address at Columbine, Lou thought it was staged.

I'll assume you are not lying, that you are simply ignorant of the truth while you spread this lie.

Lou Dobbs walked out when CNN interupted his show with Clinton non -news. They didn't like him criticizing Clinton, so he left, then they begged him back. PLEASE, we have the liberal media to spread disinformation, must you do it also??

Just two weeks ago, Dobbs was involved in an unusually public tiff with Kaplan. A visibly unhappy Dobbs interrupted ``Moneyline'' so CNN could show a presidential news conference from Colorado and told viewers it was under Kaplan's orders.

It prompted a Kaplan deputy to issue memos stating that CNN's executive producers have the authority to break into ``Moneyline'' to cover news when warranted. The Wall Street Journal reported there had been longstanding tension between Dobbs and Kaplan, with Dobbs complaining about money being spent on ``NewsStand,'' a series Kaplan has championed.

``He is one of the people who helped put business news on the map in television,'' said George Jamison, a CNBC spokesman. ``He was a strong competitor and a respected journalist. This is a big loss for CNN and CNNfn.''

Lou Dobbs, business news anchor who left CNN in public dispute with its management nearly two years ago, agrees to return to his network and become anchor of Moneyline News Hour, business news program that he started about 20 years ago; CNN is expected to give Dobbs executive-level title that will allow him to help guide network's overall business coverage
