Lou Dobbs to announce departure from CNN tonight.

dobbsexitThe New York Times reports that CNN anchor Lou Dobbs plans to announce on his show tonight that he is leaving the network, effective immediately. Dobbs has been the target of pro-immigration activists who launched two campaigns, Drop Dobbs and Basta Dobbs, aimed at pressuring CNN to “hold Mr. Dobbs to journalistic standards” or dump him altogether. Dobbs had become “a publicity nightmare” for CNN in recent months. His next stop could be the Fox Business network. Dobbs met with Fox chief Roger Ailes to discuss a potential position a couple of months ago.

Update In his departure statement, Dobbs -- who previously mulled a run for governor of New Jersey -- seemed to hint at a possible run for elected office. "Some leaders in media, politics, and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving," he said. "At this point, I am considering a number of options," he continued, proceeding to lay out his view of "the major issues of our time." Efforts need to be made to break the gridlock of "partisanship and ideology," Dobbs explained, adding, "I'll be working diligently to change that." "I thank you and may God bless you," he concluded.

    Thank god this racist phucktard is leaving.


  2. P.D. says:

    See ya Lou! Don’t let the door hit you on your ass when you leave!


  3. KayInMaine says:

    It would be so great if Lou Dobbs would walk off the edge of the flat earth too. Thank you and good night!

    – - Que bueno!


  5. P.D. says:

    LOL! What will Geraldo say? He stated just a couple of weeks ago that Dobbs would NEVER get a job on Faux. Will Roger throw Geraldo under the bus? We shall see….


  6. Rab says:

    Goodbye doughy pantload, peddle your racist crap on the station you were born to be on, “Fuk ked Noise”.


  7. LibertyLover says:

    Why is it that all of the apparent racists and homophobes and misogynists all end up on Fox?


  8. noseeum says:

  9. P.D. says:

    Liberty@7, Yeah, When you think about it, Faux News is the ultimate LOSER channel. Tucker, Dobbs, Stossel…. Righties who have all left MSM only to find Faux News waiting with open arms.


  10. southrnbelle says:

    GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!

    Now he can wear his Swatzika on air!


  11. EnnuiDivine says:

    Surprised he lasted that long.

    Fox will welcome him with arms as open as Dobbs perceives the border to be.


  12. P.D. says:

    If CNN thinks Lou departure will help them, it may be too late. Lou has been bashing immigrants for YEARS. They should have let him go when his rhetoric was really getting hot in 2006.


  13. Gregor Samsa says:

    Adios, Lou. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

    But don’t worry -FauxNews will welcome you with open arms, as they have done with other bigots.


  14. KayInMaine says:

    Will his illegal immigrant wife be coming with him over to Fox News or will she be at home doing the laundry, raising his children, raking the leaves, and waiting by the phone to find out when hubby is going to wire her some money for clothes?


  15. Zooey says:

    Anyone up for a “glad you’re gone” party?

    The CNN crowd will be joining us. ;)


  16. P.D. says:

    What ever happened about the ‘Shooting’ at Dobbs place? That dropped of the radar really fast.


  17. SoapBox says:

    Oh gee!

    Now he can join the other Freak-Angry-Racist-Pig-Rushpubs at FauxNoise! He’ll fit right in with his ANGRY hatred of anybody NOT white!

    Go forth and SPEW Mr. Blobs!

    Obviously Fox is the only ones that will hire these creeps.

    He can join the “Destroy Obama” bandwagon.


  19. cd says:

    Does this make MSNBC the only cable news network with liberal and conservative shows?

    If so it’s disappointing.


  20. Marie says:

    Lou Dobbs is saying good by right now — I am not at all sad to see him go.
    Don’t let the door hitya where the lord splitya.


  21. pete says:

    Adios, Little CNNdy Lou-who.


  22. Leftside Annie says:

    That’s right – stuff all the crazies into a single asylum.

    Enjoy the crazy, Lou!!


  23. Marie says:

    This is quite an abrupt leaving — was he fired? Mutual agreement to leave. Any takers that he will soon be on Faux Noise?


  24. KayInMaine says:

    I hope Lou trips and falls during the commercial break.


  25. Purple State says:

    Even Olby Sucks cannot ruin the vibe I’m on right now.


  26. pete says:

    cd,

    It seems that you’ve forgotten PBS that just does news and balanced commentary.


  27. KayInMaine says:

    Marie @ #23, it’s very possible there’s a Lou Dobbs sex tape out there featuring three illegal immigrant women in it and Lou had to pull a Carrie Prejean in response!


  28. Marie says:

    With no love loss between John Stossel and Lou Dobbs, if Dobbs ends up at Fox too, it could have some interesting moments.


  29. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    i wonder if lou will have to share office space with his bff boo-hoo glenda becky over at Pox until his office is ready?


  30. sscncturn64 says:

    I just watched dobbs gdbye speach. He said he has a few options he can pursue. Im willing to bet that theirs an office over at fox with his name on the door already.


  31. noseeum says:

  32. AlphaLiberal says:

    Hey, Lou! I hear Mexico is nice this time of year!


  33. New England Indy says:

    Maybe now there will be someone other than Tweety to watch in that timeslot.


  34. fletc3her says:

    I know that it is hard for CNN to let him go since he was part of the team that put CNN on the map all those years. Lou Dobbs provided some much needed gravitas for an unproven network. Unfortunately, that gravitas has given way to racist ideological certainty. I really feel that we have been witnessing Lou Dobbs’ slide into senility over the last couple years.


  35. Marie says:

    I am going to indulge in a little smugness now and think that maybe our dozens and dozens of emails complaining to CNN about Dobbs had a part in this.


  36. Rupert Murdoch says:

    I agree with what Lou Dobbs said about Geraldo.


  37. 5th Estate says:

    But whilst the bigot has gone form CNN, idiots still remain on screen—the principal dolt being Wolf Blitzer—and the idiots who hired DObbs in the first place and who have taken so long to finally get rid of him, are still in charge.

    If Dobbs has been given the boot because of falling ratings/less income/bad PR, but CNN management can’t see deeper than the present viewership/ad revenue, Dobbs space will be taken up and wasted once again with a similarly ignorant but simply less obviously racist/nativist.


  38. noseeum says:

    “…a Lou Dobbs sex tape out there featuring three illegal immigrant women”

    One is making the bed, another is cooking dinner, and the third is picking tomatoes.

    Lou is in the bathroom cuffing his carrot.

  40. Jackie says:

    Good news now let’s see of Daddy Warbucks does hire Lou. Now Lou will not make the big salary but at lease he’d be working with other racist wing nuts that think like him. Oh on side: Daddy Warbuck’s Family is taking notes on his insane comments and actions and most likely looking to declare him completely insane and not fit to run the company. I’m looking forward to the Family take over and watch the first to go will be Beck/O’Reilly/Hannity and others who are just as insane as Daddy Warbucks.


  41. P.D. says:

    Think about it this way, if Lou joins Faux, Immigrants and Latinos will never forget it. They are the fastest growing minority group. If Faux News allows Dobbs to join them, They can kiss the Latino demographic good-bye.

  62. pete says:

    No, cd, PBS does not nor did it ever “broadcast al-jazeera”. World Focus has featured some reports produced by al-Jazeera, English. It’s all part of that balance I referred to.

    How can any woman have anything to do with Lou Dobbs, let alone marry him and mix her DNA with his?

    Ironically enough, no mention of her heritage or how beautiful their children are.

    Care to debate?


  86. noseeum says:

    “How can any woman have anything to do with Lou Dobbs, let alone marry him and mix her DNA with his?”

  88. P.D. says:

    chir@85, Good one. A nice shot right in the nuts.


  89. Pelotonpro 048 says:

    Dobb’s divisive rhetoric has dragged CNN down. While trying to situate themselves as the,”centrist” network they have consistently appeared right of center. They have yet to atone for their shameless soft-balling of the Bush administration throughout his two terms and especially during the run-up to the Iraq war! CNN was so brow-beaten my the far right and their continuous accusations of,”left-wing media bias” that they come across as a mini-Fox! CNN should find the center and go there’ Right now, like Fox it’s just another network I don’t watch.


  90. KayInMaine says:

    Lou Dobbs has beautiful children? Oh wow. They’re not his then.


  91. cd says:

    Good to know Pete.

    Though to be honest I don’t know how one would go about balancing stuff from al-Jazeera since they are to my knowledge a right wing news source but the vast majority of the right wing in America doesn’t like them.


  92. P.D. says:

    Kay@91, His daugters are experienced Equestrians. I wonder if they have any illegals working in their Country Club stables?


  93. pags2 says:

    I would suspect Dobbs’ negatives were greater than his plusses and was asked to leave. CNN could never draw enough viewers from Fox to watch Dobbs and the loss of revenues were mounting. Hence, it is easier for him to be tossed.


  94. cynicalgirl says:

    Run for office? Which one?

    Lou lives in District 5 in New Jersey. A staunch Republican district with right wing nut job Scott Garrett representing it. He’s going to be a lifer here unless he runs for another office. I doubt Lou would run against him.

    Maybe Lautenberg’s seat in the Senate?

  114. DallasNE says:

    Don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out Lou.

  116. kasinca says:

    Lou lost his mind several years ago and started hating immigrants to the point I quit watching CNN. I haven’t watched FAUX lite in at least two years.


  117. P.D. says:

    New2116, Yeah. I guess CNN could have said, Get the Hell out. After all, their special about African Americans was ratings gold, but the one about Latinos fell flat. But still, these guys always ahve contracts and all that bullsh*t. Oh well..


  118. P.D. says:

    kas@117, I gave up on CNN in 2006. Before the the elections, Dobbs was on a tirade. Everyday, every segment was immigrant bashing. Whether it was about marajunia, diseases, anything. It was all the immigrants fault. My father still watches him, but LOL! He is gone. I say good riddance.


  119. KayInMaine says:

    KO just eluded to Sarah Palin taking Dobbs’ Hate Spot on CNN. He could be correct. I’m going to vomit.

    Kay@120, OMG! Perish the thought! Could you imagine? If she did get her own talk show, I bet it would bomb. The woman has no personality, she has no sense of humor and she always plays the victim. But if she does, I think I’ll join you in the vomiting.

    sreams@122, If you are so offended, you can leave. by the way, the trolls are usually the most hateful.


  125. jalevitator says:

    @ 122; I’d hold off on getting to high & mighty. There are a handful of folks who bait people on here with hateful and ugly rhetoric. You might be amazed at the level of thoughtful discussion when the trolls keep their nose out.

    I myself would much rather have discussions with people I disagree with, because I find that to be more insightful, and I learn more about my own feelings and opinions too. But finding reasonable people that are also conservatives are getting fewer and farther between. I’m not implying that conservatives are disappearing necessarily. I just think that the reasonable ones are afraid of getting eaten alive by their rabid and ignorant bretheren.

    Fortunately for me, I have several conservative friends that are a blast to debate with, and while we rarely change each other’s minds or positions, it has happened in a few areas.


  126. flex says:

    Lol, great news about the Lou Dobbs sex tape with underage immigrants. Added is a special sex scene with a live chicken to break the gridlock of “partisanship and ideology,”

    Among lunatic extremist Dobbs’s many options are working with Fox ‘Always Lie and Blame the Liberals’ News, working as wingnut Sarah Palins wardrobe manager, and religious consultant for the Taliban.

    Sarah would take the idea of 8 million people watching her every night as a sign that she will be the Queen of America in 2012. Of course, P.D., we’ll all be watching her to laugh, point at, and blog our hearts out against her!

    She’s a vile Pig just like Dobbs & Beck, so it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if CNN wants another Piglet at their teets.

    It is amazing to me how much hatred saturates the comments sections under nearly every story.

    You’ve come to a conclusion on every story in just one day? Jumping to conclusions is a bad habit.

    One can rarely find a meaningful, reasoned discussion amongst all of the name calling. I also frequently find that any comment containing a dissenting opinion is “voted down” and not visible.

    You sound “concerned.”

    Is this what we’ve come to?

    No. It’s what the idiot trolls bring onto themselves with innane comments and no links to facts.

    If we truly “think progress”, how do we expect to make any if we are constantly insulting anyone who is not already on our side?

    Again, you sound “concerned.”

    All four options have been rejected. He wants a better strategy. Troop increases are not a strategy. He does not want an open ended commitment there.
    Eikenberry, (ret. general) ambassador to Afghanistan has sent several emergency cables to Washington begging them not to send more troops because the corruption is too great there.
    Colin Powell has told Obama to take more time and consider all his choices.
    The public is not behind enlarging the war in Afthanistan — 56% say we should give it up.

    My first thought was that Obama has been taking his time for all those reasons, but the ceremony yesterday and another today has validated his hesitation to commit more troops to a situation that is not clearly understood by anyone.

    The balance of party identification in the American electorate now favors the Democratic Party by a decidedly larger margin than in either of the two previous presidential election cycles.

    In 5,566 interviews with registered voters conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press during the first two months of 2008, 36% identify themselves as Democrats, and just 27% as Republicans.

    http://pewresearch.org/pubs/773/fewer-voters-identify-as-republicans

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Once again, for the stupid trolls:

    Ratings do not equal truth.


  190. Marie says:

    Whatever Obama finally decides on Afghanistan, I will have even more confidence that he knows what he’s doing.

    We are all so accustomed to 8 years of shoot first and ask questions later that having a pragmatic and compasisonate person in the white house who is not a reactionary is quite an adjustment for some. Obama is one who carefully considers his moves, despite ridicule from his opponents to hurry it up and decide; Obama ignores them and their shallow, short term thinking.

    I hope he chooses not to send a whole lot of troops there, but I defer to his intellect and pragmatism. If that is his decision, I will feel less anguish.
    He not only has to extricate us from Iraq and now, Afghanistan, he has to do it in a way that doesn’t come back to hurt us later.

    Lou Dobb was fired by CNN because he couldn’t prove his birth certificate is real and that he is not a illegal immigrant.

    Here’s a question; how effective was FAUX’s open campaigning for the dillhole who ran in NY-23? Despite this open campaigning by the “news” folks at FAUX, they handed a District to the Dems that had been GOP for more than a hundred years. It seems to me that the more people watch FAUX the worse they do in the only ratings that matter, the vote of the American electorate.


  193. New England Indy says:

    Funny how Fox veiwers never recite the ratings of Brodcast News which outdoes all cable news..And..the fact that Fox are now (since Dobbs got canned) the only place that rightwing nutbags can go to hear what they crave.

    Fox News is omnipresent no matter where you travel in the US.

    Well, let’s see here….in July of 2001 Osama was rushed to a Dubai hospital for kidney/liver disease. Did he survive? Well, he had to because 9/11 was coming up and George Bush & Dick Cheney needed him to be alive so they could have their Bogeyman to scare the hell out of YOU. Then came the CIA created audios of “the alive Osama bin Laden” speaking at a time when George Bush needed him the most (to scare YOU!) AND where an old photograph would be used of Osama to keep everyone thinking he was alive. Of course, anyone can fake a voice and many celebrities have made lots of money impersonating voices! Right? If Osama was REALLY alive, why didn’t he “send to al-Jazeera” videos of him speaking to his clan, huh?

    Okay, now your turn. Show me the proof that he’s alive. I want a current photo of him or a video of him speaking.

    The Conservative Mind

    I came to ponder one day on reflection
    The conservative mind and their lack of direction
    I wondered how people that should be united
    Would need to have guns to intimidate and frighten
    It came to me quickly and so very clear
    That the conservative mind is too full of fear
    They fear terrorist and Marxist and socialist and such
    They fear liberals who fought for their right to be nuts
    They fear black men and brown men and red men and yellow
    They fear gay men and lesbians who’s gentle and mellow
    They fear progress that will better the life of us all
    They fear truth cause the truth only leads to their fall
    They fear teaching the public the power of knowledge
    They fear all the people that made it through collage
    They fear that a brown girl is now in the SCOTUS
    And that SCOTUS could not keep a black man from POTUS
    They fear Randi and Keith and Ms. Rachel Maddow
    These conservatives are even afraid of their shadow
    It must be a bummer to live in such fear
    To be such a coward that the truth cant show clear
    They promote war and death when they claim their pro life
    Yet they won’t volenteer to fight in such strife
    Their wrapped in a flag with a bible for show
    But will never adhere to the words that bestow
    They will claim that they worship the word of the Lord
    While defending the need to apply waterboard
    How could we wander within eight short years
    From a beacon of freedom to a cauldron of tears
    Conservatives need to go back to their mantra
    Before Rush and Beck and Fox propaganda
    It isn’t to late for the right to repent
    For the lies that they spew and their hateful intent
    Conservatives seem to care more for their pets
    Than the strife of our homeless or the health of our vets
    They protest government intrusion in life
    Unless your a lesbian in love with your wife
    Or a gay man who just wants to be with his lover
    Or a woman too weak to give birth to another
    Compassion is void in the conservative mind
    Where women dont speak, they just stand behind
    Their husbands that stray from their marriage vow
    While claiming that they are holier than thou
    So What can be said to the conservative mind
    Where logic and reason has been left behind
    There’s one biblical saying that will always hold true
    Do unto others as they would do unto you.

    Nite all.

  279. Fred says:

    orangy, so what if what you say is true? How do you get yourself worked into a lather over it?

    Are you saying that every rupublican that there has ever been was a perfect person. There are plenty of murderers of Americans within your ranks.

    You also have more traitors to America. The left has no such icon as your famous ollie north, the convicted felon who betrayed America.


  280. Trollspotter says:

    orangy says:

    Michael Ratner, head of the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) in New York, has a decades-long record of defending and litigating on behalf of terrorists and cop-killers.

    So your point is people accused of crimes shouldn’t have defense lawyers? That’s really stupid, Jeffy, even for you!


  281. Trollspotter says:

    orangy says:

    Sounds epic.

    Like when Michael Weiner Savage was turned back at the UK border.


  282. Fred says:

    Orangy, the left has no miltary representatives that has gone to the UN and lied, knowingly.

    We’ve had no intelligence reports ignored that warned of an attack as bush did just before 9/11.

    The left has never dragged America into the gutter with policies such as torture and lying to America to start a war.

    You seem to cheer for criminals and, well, losers.

    How do you resolve that in your mind? How do your rationalize these things?


  283. Fred says:

    orangy says:
    An American education professor, one of the founders of a radical 1960s group known as the Weather Underground.

    The Weather Underground never killed a single person. Never harmed anyone.

    Can you say the same for the kkk? Can you even say the same of Christain fundies? I mean murdering a man in his church is not going to get you into heaven no matter what he did.

    False equivilancies such as these that you put forth don’t help your case. They make you look, well, weak.


  284. Zooey says:

    That being said, and forgive if I’m babbling because it’s 2 am (and I don’t know why I’m even up, though reading this entertaining thread might be one of those reasons…) I am glad that Dobbs has been fired/dismissed/whatever it might have been that prompted CNN to do this. I think frankly the poor man’s just lost it in recent years, and that’s unfortunate, since apparently, he used to be an ok dude. Whether it’s because these are his true colors or something happened (maybe he hit his head?), I don’t know, I don’t know him personally, I don’t watch his show and I don’t plan on turning the channel to CNN during that time slot in the near future.

    But, CNN has clearly made their decision, Dobbs has been ousted, and it’s likely both parties will be better off separated from one another. Maybe CNN will do better or Dobbs will loosen up a little. Either way, as they say, que sera, sera.

Or getting to the bottom of all those questions remaining about Obama’s birth certificate.

    Actually, now that I think about it, Dobbs would be just one more idioticly insane righ winger in office wrecking the country with idiotic ideas. I think it is much more likely he’ll end up on FOX and becoming a more businesslike (in appearance) Glenn Beck.

    I hope he runs for public office and is defeated by the Hispanic vote. He’s leaving CNN because his contract is up and CNN does not want him anymore. Even Fox Business rejected his contract demands. His ratings are dismal, yet the arrogant turd believes he is highly popular and can win an election. Bye Lou. Don’t let the door hit ya…

    Why is it Fox News hires all the trash in the world? Pathetic.

    The evolution of Lou Dobbs from extremist to ultra-extremist would make an excellent study in ratings driven psychology.

    For me–several years ago–I thought he was reasonably rational on some issues. It’s been recently–in the past year or so–he seems to be seeking a higher top to go over.

    On his final show, during a discussion of whether the Fort Hood murders had some underlying radical Muslim connection that he responded to one of his panel’s comment, “That would be speculation.” that Lou became incensed and blurted, “When did it become wrong to speculate?”

    For me, he has forgotten there are fences beyond which a responsible commentator does not go. I can only speculate that he has abandoned what I would call good taste in search of the higher ratings notoriety seems to bring.

    Unfortunately, the quest for higher ratings too often leaves behind those who are willing and able to act and retains the malcontents who complain but do nothing constructive in response.

    The bottom line is that CNN had the good sense, finally, to eliminate a sea anchor. Let’s hope they replace him with someone more rational and sensitive.

    I heard that CNN is replacing Lou Dobbs with an undocumented worker with leprosy.
