The DUmmies are happy, so I have 2 questions. Who is he, and is he going to Fox News?
-
Tortured soul on CNN -- only a matter of time before he left. Freepers think he is heading to Fox Business.
-
Welp, that's it. The libs have full monopoly on CNN now.
-
The way things are going for CNN, having a monopoly of opinion there is like being the only obstetrician on Castro st in San Fran.
-
Good for you Lou!
Welcome to FOX! (I hope)
:hyper:
-
I think the best outcome would be if he were to replace Keef or The Munch on MSNBC. The DUmp would immediately melt down.
-
That would be funny, Gobux. But, I think the most natural fit is Fox Business, and as a contributor to the Saturday business shows, and other panel work. Business/Econ was his forte.
-
I just learned Special Keith had an orgasm when he heard this news.
-
I don't watch him personally, but CNN will probably lose even more ground in viewership over this since they had a pretty crappy line-up already and he was one of their promoted draws. Fox seems like a pretty natural move, which will probably improve their numbers even more. Controversy draws attention, plus of course whatever following viewership he has.

CNN taps John King to replace Lou Dobbs (http://)
CNN is handing Lou Dobbs’ 4 p.m. PT time slot to anchor John King, whose encyclopedic political knowledge and deft use of technology made him one of the network’s standouts during last year’s political coverage.

Who?
He's the mechanical construct that CNN commissioned from all the plaques and dead, decayed tissues removed from Larry King during all of his surgeries.

Dobbs quit CNN over "Birther" memo http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/dobbs_gave_up_on_3EsCWZGeRuYrPsFuzm8YoJ
Lou Dobbs walked away from more than $9 million when he quit CNN, ending a long-running clash that boiled over during a debate about President Obama's birth certificate, sources said yesterday.
Dobbs, who will be replaced on the network by veteran Washington political correspondent John King, abruptly announced his resignation on air Wednesday night and offered no clue about what he planned to do next.
But the beginning of the end really came in July, when CNN President Jonathan Klein told Dobbs' staff in a memo to drop so-called birther stories about conspiratorial doubts that Obama was US-born, sources told The Post.
Klein's move incensed Dobbs, who wasn't shy about telling off his boss.
"They have been talking pretty regularly since then," a source said. "And it's been pretty bad."
CNN had also long been asking Dobbs, known for his tough stance on immigration, to tone down his harsh rhetoric.
Last month, Dobbs' William Morris agent, CNN sources said, bluntly told Klein: "You're unhappy, he's unhappy. Let him go."
Dobbs told Klein in recent weeks he wanted to go "the opinion route," laying the final groundwork for his departure.
CNN had been unlikely to renew Dobbs' contract in 2011 anyway, sources said.
CNN is pushing hard to position itself as a middle-of-the-road news source, between left-leaning MSNBC and conservative Fox News Channel.
"Lou was polluting the CNN brand," said a TV insider. :rotf:
