Lou Dobbs is LEAVING CNN!!
http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/TV/9906/08/dobbs.resigns/index.html

This is really a sad thing, because he didn't take any shit and IMO was the ONE shining star on CNN.
All is lost!

2. You need to read the date on that article.

It's dated 1999. Dobbs DID leave CNN for awhile, but his venture didn't succeed, so he came back.

4. He left before and came back
I think CNN had a lot of pressure to bring him back. I doubt they'll let him go again...

6. I was thinking "whoa"...
...until I saw the date on there (1999).

I remember he did leave for awhile, and came back.

And I hope he stays for awhile. He is one of CNN's best.

8. It's kinda sad to say ...
But Dobbs is now counted amongst the more REASONABLE reporters on CNN ..... perhaps the most balanced ....

It would have been hard to believe that in the 90's ...

10. One more slight check and balance gone.
It's getting scarier and scarier in medialand.
