Lou Dobbs is NO friend of ours...
Don't ask me why I watch this fool... I guess I keep expecting him to say the right thing. Lately though, he has said nothing but the wrong things.

This evening he called the White House press corps "liberal". GASP! He actually repeated himself to reaffirm it like it is a "given" fact. This press corps has covered up for BushCo. and propped him up since day one of the stolen election.

Secondly, and worst of all, he read someone's e-mail sent to him that he apparently thought was "cute" or amusing. The e-mail said this:

"If Iran wants nukes we should send them to them... via airmail."

Real funny Lou, real funny. I have had it with this clown! :puke:

1. Don't watch him. He's a tool.
He's developed that Cheney-sneer-Bush-snicker look.

4. I don't want a journalist to be a friend of mine or an enemy.
I just want them to tell me what's going on.

5. He must have got a memo from his corporate masters.
Start villifying Liberals or you'll go the way of Donahue. He was doing a decent job until lately when he mustve got threatened, by the Capitalism Corporation. Everyone knows Libs are socialists.....Nevermind the Dems are for the worker while the repubs are for the rich and powerful.

6. Who Is Lou Dobbs, And What Is CNN?
I don't seem to get that channel on my cable. Or perhaps I'm just avoiding watching it.

9. Lou Dobbs is a conservative Heritage Foundation fellow.
What a charade that he actually hides this glaring bias from his audience. But the neocons level of secrecy through omitting details is certainly consistent.

He calls the press liberal.

Absolutely Lou. So was Ghenghis Khan.

10. Sososo
Dobbs does an excellent job reporting some stories. It's not a requirement to agree with 100% of what someone says. I think some of you underestimate how much our press is in fear of this government and in all honesty the American people. Ever since this war began, no one wants to defy the president. Before hand, he was the biggest idiot on earth according to the media.

I like Lou's reporting. I find that he's speaking what he really believes instead of doing the party line. His analysis of the borders, economy, communist China, etc. are excellent.

12. The days of...
The honest to goodness tell it like it is and fuck the establishment style of journalism is all but dead in this country.

Seems that everyone wants to kiss someone's ass by spinning a story.

The best news seems to come from DU and John Stewart.
