3. I never listen to him since he posed in a picture

with the "Obama Waffles" mix during the election.

His opinion is irrelevant where Obama is concerned.

6. I have little use for CNN at all.
They are the mirror of FOX news; both just want to sensationalize everything, whether a politician or a movie star or a bear up a tree. Makes no difference as long as people will watch. Also they break for commercials a lot more than MSNBC does.

If you don't get MSNBC, I'd recommend even CBS over CNN. Of the big three broadcast networks, they are the least conservative.

7. Sadly, Dobbs is replayed several times nightly on CNN Headline News, as well.
Don't watch it and perhaps he will go away, or to 'Fixed' News where he belongs.

20. They should change the name to CAN - Caylee Anthony Now
It is one of 5 channels on in my gym and its all Caylee or some ridiculous celebrity bullshit. They have a show called Issues, that doesnt address issues. Instead they led off with some guy selling Caylee Anthony Dolls. I think Lou Dobbs may even be better than listening to that pointless drivel or Nancy Grace pretending she's a DA.

9. Let him keep talking. Every time he opens his mouth. It helps strengthen Obamas support with
the Hispanic community :)

11. Ignore the worthless sonuvabitch
I am sure he's blaming our collapsed economy on all the illegal aliens anyway. It really was an improvement when they got him off CNN, but alas they only moved him to Headline News. His shit fits right in with that other worthless one trick pony--Nancy Grace.

12. Ummm
Turn it off, turn it to Public Television, watch sitcom re-runs?
There must be 50 ways to leave Lou Dobbs.

14. ESPN is the best cable network for current events.
If you wish to know about non-sports goings on, then I'd recommend reading the news on the internet.

18. To be more specific
Democratic Underground is a good place to get news.
And make friends.
And build a network.
And defeat idiots like Lou Dobbs.

Didn't we just do that?

19. Ummm - - - Someone holding a gun
to your head forcing you to watch Dobbs? He's a mean, bigoted, pompous, arrogant, pontificating, nasty SOB who has regrettably been given a network soapbox by big corporate media. Change the damn channel. Your immediate problem solved and his ratings (and your blood pressure) go down.

22. I've never watched a millisecond of that asshole, but I got this today:
Last week, CNN's Ed Henry joined a growing media chorus echoing conservative talking points about President Obama's economic stimulus package.

Referring to a partial analysis from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), Henry claimed it "showed" that President Obama's stimulus package "may not really stimulate the economy." Henry failed to mention the fact that the CBO did not assess the president's overall package -- in fact, it looked at less than half of his plan.

Last night on Lou Dobbs Tonight, responding to our critique of his initial report, Henry conceded that the CBO analysis assessed only a portion of the president's plan. Meanwhile, Dobbs resorted to name-calling, attacking Media Matters as "a partisan bunch of hacks trying to play games." http://mediamatters.org/action_center/dobbs_games/?src=dg-2

Watch the video of Lou Dobbs' tirade and tell him that insisting on accurate reporting is not "trying to play games"

During his rant, Dobbs falsely claimed that Media Matters tried to "conflate the Office of Management and Budget numbers as somehow superior with the Congressional Budget Office." Media Matters did no such thing, merely pointing out that according to OMB director Peter Orszag, the CBO conducted only a partial analysis of the bill.

Watch the video of Lou Dobbs' tirade and tell him that insisting on accurate reporting is not "trying to play games"

Thank you for your help in keeping the media honest.

Founder & CEO
Media Matters for America

23. Dobbs is a joke...........
his show is stupid and his polls are so one sided it's ridiculous. If you give an obvious question you're bound to get an obvious answer. His polls are equivalent to this.......

What color is the color green?
A) Blue
B) Green
C) Red
D) Purple

And all he talks about is illegal alien this, illegal alien that blah blah blah. It's lame, boring, and a poor excuse for news just change the channel or turn it off.

24. How can anyone watch Dobbs while Tweety is on?
Love him or hate him, Chris Matthews is GOOD TV.

Dobbs is just an ass.
