Cant say I'm surprised.

[cripplecreek]

anti-immigration views

LOL they never quit.

[skeeter]

“Middle ground” my rosy red arse.

[NormsRevenge]

Yup, Lou is on now..

last broadcast, the last of the original anchors at Cnn

[No Longer Free State]

Maybe MSNBC will hire him.

/sarcasm

[Freedom4US]

Is it fair, accurate, or helpful to describe him as “anti-immigrant”? Conflating illegal immigration with legal immigration isn’t ethical.

[Frantzie]

I like Lou a lot. He is strong in amnesty and illegal immigration. He is a straight shooter. I hope he goes to Fox. CNN is a scum channel with dying ratings. He is probably their only draw.

Something tells me that the CNN reaction to the Ft Hood shootings (e.g., anchors making excuses for Hassan) was the last straw for Mr. Dobbs.

[WalterSkinner]

..if it weren’t for Lou Dobbs, Compean and Ramos would still be in prison IMO...

[MamaDearest]

Lou Dobbs was the last watchable show on CNN. Congrats to Lou - definitely he didn't need to be working among hatemongers and government lackeys.

If Fox News doesn't hire him, they are foolish. However, now knowing Obama has a scheduled interview with Major Garrett, Fox News could be heading in a direction that renders them questionable as a news source as well. Time will tell.

[OldDeckHand]

It sounds like he’s saying he was getting pressure from CNN to curtail some of his commentary, and he wasn’t having it. He didn’t say that, but that’s the feeling I got, especially when he was leading up to say that Klein had agreed to let him out of his contract.

[freedumb2003]

There have been rumors of him going to Fox for quite some time.

He should co-host with Jerry Rivers — that would be hilarious.

[plain talk]

Dobbs is an outlier at CNN, which has sought to position itself as a middle ground of sorts in the fractious cable news arena

A bold-face lie deserves bold-face font.

[Clintonfatigued]

If CNN thinks this helps their credibility, they’re off their rockers. I hope that Fox News can eventually find a time slot for Dobbs, even if it’s only a weekend show.

[TheDailyChange]

AMEN!

The lines in the sand are being drawn. I do hope he joins Fox, it really is where he belongs.

[Terpfen]

I hope he goes to Fox.

I'm not sure who would get bumped to fit Dobbs in. Fox's lineup is pretty strong already.

[SevenofNine]

Probably got tired of CNN Bosses crap

[cripplecreek]

My final sign off if I were Dobbs.

This is Lou Dobbs saying goodnight America........

“CNN, which has sought to position itself as a middle ground of sorts in the fractious cable news arena. “

Could they possibly by more biased?

“Middle ground” my rosy red arse.

Should we write and ask if CNN will be in violation of the 'fairness doctrine'?
