UPDATE @ 7:11 PM: It's official. Dobbs just announced that tonight is his "last broadcast." He's "considering a number of options." But, it sounded like he was presenting a campaign platform.
Two more things: Media Matters posted the video if anyone wants to see Dobbs quit.
And, Media Matters, which launched DropDobbs.org earlier this year, issued this statement:
"For too long, CNN provided Lou Dobbs with its stamp of approval as he pursued a dangerous, one-sided and all too often false conspiracy tinged crusade against immigrants," said Eric Burns, president of Media Matters. "This is a happy day for all those who care about this nation of immigrants and believe in the power of media to elevate the political discourse."_________
Excellent news. Tonight is Lou Dobbs last night on CNN. Yes, the hater is quitting:
Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views made him a TV lightning rod, plans to announce Wednesday that he is leaving the network, two network employees said.This is the only time I'll watch Dobbs' show.
A CNN executive confirmed that Mr. Dobbs will announce his resignation plans on his 7 p.m. program. His resignation is effective immediately; tonight’s program will be his last on CNN. His contract was not set to expire until the end of 2011.
