Comments about ‘With drama and fire, Lou Dobbs resigns from CNN’

Sounds like Lou was finally run out of town. Who is left on CNN to watch? Anderson Cooper?

Perhaps the other opportunities include such humanitarian work as teaching english as a 2nd language, or teaching new industrial skills to outdated union workers. That's where you could help, Lou, instead of filling the airways with your hatred towards mexican immigrants and similar hatred towards businesses aiming to grow and profit.

Really didn't care for him anyway.

Good guy leaving a stupid liberal station. What a joke CNN is!! ILLEGAL Immigration is Illegal and so is Obama. He had the guts to say it. Nice job Lou. See you on Fox soon.

Maybe he'll go to FOX like Beck did. CNN replaced him with Jane Velez Mitchel (A Nancy Grace Clone). Now they've added that idiot from the View; Joy Behar! No wonder their ratings are sinking. I didn't agree with everythihg Dobbs said, but he brought up a lot of good points on issuse like illegal immigration that other "lamestream" news orgs won't touch.

good move lou

I watched CNN during and after the Gulf War and the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan,
also watched many of their specials.

Good reporting and 24 hour coverage in some areas.

Other news organizations were reporting Madonnas love life.

Then CNN changed-
their hatred for president Bush, his administration and the Republicans became news toxic.

I switched to Fox New and have never looked back.

Well, he'll probably go and join the "fair and balanced" NOT! station as he is another one just like O'Reilly!

He'd better not go to Fox if he wants to be heard. No one but the far right take that station seriously. Sorry, kids, I'm just stating a fact.

People change as the times change.

dobbs made an admirable attempt to change with the times, but ended up being just another angry, my way or the highway tv guy.

As someone suggested earlier, FOX can always find a way to use the persona dobbs has become.

Good luck, Lou. You deserve better than CNN and their slanted views of domestic politics and worldwide issues.

At least he is standing up for his own integrity and character. Good for him!

Fox has a credibility issue with middle America as being to far right winged.

Lou Dobbs could either help Fox or hurt Mr. Dobbs.

well cnn will probably be around 100,000 viewers now while fox hovers around 5 mil. He was entertaining I doubt I will ever turn on cnn anymore.

To Al, I just have to say, wake up and smell the roses or perhaps smell the stink in the liberal democratic party. Whether you like the Fox network or not, try understanding the constitution and the peoples rights and nobody in their right mind would ever affaliate with the liberal left which today is Obama and the democratic party.

Freedom is a priceless gift and the Fox network is the only place where someone stands up for FREEDOM and the American Way. Either stand up for America or fall to the tyranny of socialism that the liberals are spooning out. I prefer FREEDOM, freedom to be productive andto keep what I earn rather than rely upon a government tht has failed in every effort to govern in the lives of the people.
You choose but choose wisely my friend!

I hope he goes to fox. A positive move for him, and 1 million new viewers for FOX.

Are you whackos talking about CNN or MSNBC? I'd agree with your vitrol if it was against the latter. CNN is remarkably fair. Sure, slightly left of middle, but it's the most middle-ground cable station we have unless you want the straight to the source bore of CSPAN. I can't believe a few people on here actually admit to watching FOX, which has admitted guilt in manipulating and falsifying video and running with falsified documents about the president - the very thing that ran Dan Rather right out of town. Watching FOX News is no different than keeping your eyes closed. Why strain yourself? As for Lou, he was generally knowledgeable and good at his job. Sad to see him leave.

Whether or not Fox News is taken seriously is up for debate. But the fact that they have double the viewership than CNN and MSNBC combined and have for almost all of this year says that a lot more people are tuning in to watch them. CNN and MSNBC's viewship is steadily declining while Fox News Channel's viewership is steadily increasing. Seems to me that if no one takes them seriously, people wouldn't waste their time.

Is it that because the White House and Mr. Obama say they don't take them seriously, you think that means no one else does either? Poor logic. Or is it that you just can't admit that more people in America are seeing that Mr. Obama isn't the messiah afterall, that he never intended to deliver on his campaign promises, and that not every word that falls from his lips should be blindly accepted as holy writ?

I guarantee Mr. Obama takes Fox News seriously. Otherwise, why so much energy expended to try and counter everything they say?

Lou Dobbs is not to CNN what Sean Hannity and Glen Beck are to FOX.

Nice way to participate in a dialog...addressing people as "whackos"? Yeah, that will buy you a lot of credibility. When the name calling starts, it makes you look desperate...like you have nothing to back you up except insults. You might want to think about that.
