CNN may soon not have that Latino problem:

Lou Dobbs’s Next Home: Fox Business? (http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/12/lou-dobbs-next-home-fox-business/)

Robert Caplin for The New York Times
Lou Dobbs
The anchor Lou Dobbs appears to be exploring an exit from CNN, his longtime employer.

Certainly, Fox continues to aggressively bolster its on-air talent, most recently with the hiring of John Stossel, the libertarian investigative journalist from ABC News, for its spin-off channel, Fox Business. Mr. Dobbs, an administration critic who calls himself an independent, met for dinner with Roger E. Ailes, the chairman of Fox News, last month, according to two people with direct knowledge of the meeting.

One of the people said Mr. Dobbs is a potential hire for the Fox Business Network, the ratings starved, two-year-old spin-off of Fox News. Mr. Ailes has shown willingness to raid other networks for Fox Business talent, adding the controversial radio host Don Imus this month and bringing aboard Mr. Stossel in a few weeks.

It is unclear whether Mr. Dobbs is seeking to leave CNN, and a network spokeswoman had no comment on Sunday. Mr. Dobbs has been with CNN since its founding (save for a two-year stint at an upstart Web site Space.com) and anchors the 7 p.m. hour “Lou Dobbs Tonight.” He has evolved over the years from a straight-laced business anchor to an outspoken commentator who rails against illegal immigration and taxpayer bailouts, among other subjects.

Mr. Dobbs clashed with others at CNN over the summer when he asked questions about President Obama’s citizenship.

But in an interview this year, Jonathan Klein, the president of CNN/U.S., said “Lou’s show is less about Lou’s opinion than ever.”

On a side note this CNN clip was fascinating and interesting

It would make a lot of business & political sense for both CNN and FOX for him to switch over. A respected news channel can't have that kind of hate and batsh_t crazy nonsense spouted by one of its hosts, so FOX seems like a worth spot.

CNN, msnbc, and foxnews are all trash networks

Yeah, I agree with that.

Anyone who dismisses that we have an illegal immigrant problem in this country is an idiot. I can't speak for Lou Dobbs and his figures, but the idea that he's slandered latino's is far fetched. He's talking about illegals, who are criminals, if most of them happen to be latino that's just the hand that's been dealt. I have no problems with shooting these people the second they cross the border because they are invaders.

I understand there's at least two legit sides to the immigration debate, but the dude has serious racial problems. He called Condi Rice a "cotton-picker", and that pales in comparison to his daily slanders on latinos.

The reality is the latino population in this country has utterly added to the richness that is our country in a billion different ways. But we can't dismiss that the laws are being broken. We don't need new ones. And because we offer so many public services they are drained by those here illegally to some degree. If we actually enforced our borders we might be able to afford some of these planks in the political platforms of the day.

And if we actually enforced laws against businesses that hire them ....

You'll get no argument from me on that

I think that's 3 times in the past week or so we've found agreement on something - who says this is a divided country? ;D

I don't think it's all that divided. At least not as much as the media would have us believe. You'll have people bang on the President all day, but is he the problem? No. It's Congress. It's always Congress. They spend the money. They pass the laws.

Well, I agree - but I'm pretty sure it's for the opposite reason.

Bingo......the liberals not only have their "blinders" on, but they have filters on their ears and hear only what they want to hear.....dman

[mhgaffney]

Just like you.

[defenseman]

Just like you.

I'll listen without the blinders, without earmuffs.....libs don't....and, just because I listen doesn't mean I have to agree......dman

*For what it's worth, I'm not interested in "converting" any libs right now. They just need to keep driving the bus into the ground and they'll accomplish more for the conservative movement than anyone person in the last 50 years. Except for Ron of course,,,,,you keep smiling ghaff boy, you do add a little spice to the board...dman

[Tombstone RJ]

Personally speaking, not sure how any news organization is successful without the Latino communities endorsement. I've never paid any attention to Lou Dobbs, I honestly don't know anything about his show or him. He's an Independent?
