“I can only say that I always wondered if his stance on immigrants, legal or otherwise, took a bigger toll on him than on the immigrants. This is, whether he or others will admit it, a Hispanic issue, and not only are Lou’s wife and kids Hispanic but the daughters are in the Horse Show game, which, after the restaurant industry, is the top employer of undocumented immigrants in this country – and Lou helps pay them. If that isn’t the ultimate hypocrisy, it must be the ultimate self-contradiction and very painful psychologically. I worked with Lou as long ago as 1981 and I never heard any of this back then. He’s always been a bully and one of those put-up-your-dukes clowns, but I think the immigration stance was mostly opportunistic. The insincerity of the xenophobia would explain how he went from 2nd place to 4th. As to what he should do next, his soul would benefit from a few years at Telemundo.” — Keith Olbermann, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, MSNBC
A tale of two networks: CNN’s movement on Dobbs was long overdue, but they eventually decided that their credibility as a news network outweighed Dobbs’ (rapidly dwindling) ratings.

Epilogue:
Who will mainstream right-wing attacks with Beck’s lieutenant gone from CNN? — With Lou Dobbs’ departure from CNN, Glenn Beck and the right-wing media have lost one of their lieutenants in their campaign to mainstream conservative misinformation. On both his TV and radio show, Dobbs has ceaselessly attacked President Obama, members of his administration, and other progressives, and repeatedly adopted the falsehoods and smears that have emerged from right-wing sources.
