I know he is vile but please someone tell me this is not true

Did Lou Dobbs ask how many of the victims in the Mumbai train bombings work for North American companies on his show?

[soleft]

1. US media always asks and answers how many Americans

When disasters happen to people of other countries. If there's a plane crash in South Korea the second thing they say is how many Americans were onboard.

[RB TexLa]

2. no, how many were Indians that worked for North American companies

[soleft]

9. Ah, okay. Thanks

[havocmom]

4. OP asked if Dobbs asked about people who WORKED for American Cos

not how many Americans.

People are people to me, but Dobbs was inquiring about workers for companies who outsourced jobs to India

3. Even if he didn't, you KNOW dead Americans are more important

than anyone else.


Years ago on the show "Monty Python's Flying Circus" they did a bit about "News for Ferrets" (and segments for other animals as well) where the newscaster would read a story like this;

"Today on the M1 Motorway an accident occurred which involved as many as 27 cars. NO Ferrets were injured in this accident. In other news, an oil spill occurred off the coast of France in which no Ferrets were hurt in any way."


Same sort of thing.

5. Not dead Americans. Dead workers for American companies

6. technically, the bombings were in Mumbai

Bombay was the British Colonial name for the ancient city.

but anyway...

7. there, changed it

[northzax]

8. thank you, names matter (nt)

[RB TexLa]

10. kicked to see if anyone knows if he said this or not

[SoCalDem]

11. I found nothing in the transcripts, BUT I do recall him asking

the reporter if there were americans on the train..

[RB TexLa]

12. not if there were North Americans, if there were Indian employees of

of North American companies.
