I give up on Lou Dobbs
He and Olbermann were the 2 shows i watched on cable. I just turned off Dobbs, he's back on the Bush payroll.

2. Lou Dobbs reads a script
Lou Dobbs is a Manican, just like the rest of them on Cable News.

They are all reading something written by someone else.

Sad but truthful fact.

7. he's just a ratings whore like the rest of them
Since no Bush voter watches CNN, he was trying to build an audience amongst Dems.

I agree, starting today he has swung way back to the right.

5. Fuck cable news
Except for Olbermann - and I still haven't been able to go back and watch him or Jon Stewart since last week - there's nothing there. Absolutely nothing.

Maybe less than nothing, since they bum out people like us so much.

Fuck 'em and feed 'em fishcakes, my fisherman pal says.

6. Dobbs played the outsourcing theme almost nightly. That was a
Democratic issue. Given his single-mindedness on this issue, why is he still a Bush cheerleader? I hate to be a paranoid DUer, but I wonder if this was a cynical programming decision by CNN to get Democrats to watch as a lead-in to their more biased shows?

10. But he does still continue to hammer...
the issue and problems we have with illegal aliens. I live down by the border and see this problem first hand and it is terrible. Dobbs is the only one who keeps hammering away about it. I realize that there will probably be nothing done about it and in fact, Colon Powell is down in Mexico now trying to make arrangements with Mexico and the US for us to give amnesty to all of the criminals that have come here illegally.

11. illegal aliens is an uber-right-wing issue
it appeals to the reptilian xenophobia in all of us. And he is so one-sided on it.

12. Between outsourcing and unregulated cheap labor
Americans are getting screwed. The Republicans are taking down the standard of living on the majority of Americans in the middle. I know illegal immigration has been a hot button issue for Bushbots, but I find it funny that Republicans have done nothing to address this in the past 4 years. Maybe the affluent like their cheap gardeners, butlers, nannies, and errand runners?

13. I gave up on Lou
when, after 2+ months of featuring the swift boat liars, the story on awol broke and he told his viewers it was time to stop reporting on the 'past' and concentrate on important new stories (like that over hyped 5 minutes he spent on illegal aliens he spent EVERY NIGHT)
