Wow!
Lou Dobbs, who has been at CNN since it’s inception, is leaving the network! The controversial news anchor said that “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 as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day.”
Dobbs hasn’t revealed where he’s headed yet but he’s considering “a number of directions and options.” His contract was renewed through 2011, but CNN has let him out of it early.
Dobbs is well-known for his anti-illegal immigration standpoint and spoke many times of the “conspiracy” that President Obama is not an actual US citizen.
He also provoked a protest this year by different Hispanic groups who complained that CNN allowed Dobbs “to spread lies and misinformation about us each night.” Consequently the advocacy group Presente.org, who requested that Dobbs was fired, are considering his latest move a “victory.”
Though it’s being denied that he ever had talks with the Fox News network, we’re sure it’s one of his many options.
It’s probably where you belong, Lou!
