Done now. New guy Monday.

Maybe the sons had enough?

I've never watched Dobbs, so I'm agnostic on the firing.

But, here's "reporting" by CNN in the article:

"signature right-wing talk show"

"his sycophantic pro-Trump programs"

"The pro-Trump propaganda"

"the conservative cable channel"

This is what psychologists call "projection."

@george-k I haven't seen it either ever, but which points from the article do you disagree with?

Nothing. I've never seen Dobbs, so I have no opinion of him, one way or the other.

So, for all you know, CNN may have characterized Dobbs truthfully and accurately.

I didn't say it was false.

I implied it was biased. One doesn't have to have seen Dobbs to make that assertion.

It’s all defensible but not the right tone for a news article to take.

That's my point.

I thought that was quite obvious and the sons were not going to stand for it. The more important assets who are almost equally guilty are still in place. Hi Marie and Janine.

I was wondering what ever happened to that annoying blowhard, Lou Dobbs. Last time I heard or saw of him was around the time of 9/11 when he used to appear on CNN. I reckoned that may be he died.

I remember another annoying talking head from that time, a woman...something like Gretchen von Cistern or something like that.

At least they didn't call him an obsequious twat, which is how The Doctor Phibes Network described him (after looking up the spelling in a dictionary).

'Hard hitting and succinct' is our motto.

We keep confusing CNN as news. It sometimes is but in this case the co-author Brian Stelter is truly all you need to know.

Call it a mental hack and save the time.

[Doctor Phibes]

Nobody sane has ever confused Lou Dobbs with news.

In a stunning coincidence, Smartmatic filed suit against Fox along with Bartilomo, Dobbs, and Pirro the day before they canceled Dobbs' show.
