Lou Dobbs is such an asshole.

[in_cog_ni_to]

Did you hear him? He said Richard Clarke was on 60 Minutes last night talking about his book, but what CBS "neglected" to tell us was that the book publisher (didn't catch the name..sorry) is connected to Viacom and Viacom owns CBS, therefore, CBS has something to gain from pushing the book. :eyes:. Un-fucking-believable! Dobbs is shameless.

1. simon and schuster is the publisher

[jenk]

2. media consolidation

everyone is tied together. this is a non issue and Dobbs should know better.

[in_cog_ni_to]

3. He DOES know better.

That's the point. KKKRove calls, HE jumps.

5. It might mean that the shift is coming

Dobb's is not a shameless as Tweety, but he sure can shift back and fourth...

4. I think it's more of an attack on CBS than Richard Clarke...

You know, rival media companies don't like each other

6. I thought the same thing.

Good ole Lou-gotta get just one dig in or, you know, the peeps might think he was a lefty or something.

7. is mr. dobbs suggesting

that if a publisher "pushes" a book for commercial reasons, the content of the book is not likely to be credible ???

what a funny concept ...

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. That's what I got from the remark.

I remember when the cabal started their bombing "shock and awe" campaign, Lou Dobbs read a letter from a viewer that told him he was shameful in his bias toward the war. You know what he said??? "Oh well, too bad. If you don't like my support of the war, don't watch. It's my show and I support our president and this war." He was downright rude and made NO BONES about his support of the WAR and BUSH. Disgusting.

8. Dobbs isn't an asshole for aknowledging a fact

he's done a lot of good work and reporting for months now...

so i feel like coming to his defense on this if people are going to attack him for it...

[Catholic Sensation]

9. It's like they don't realize this is an attack on Viacom and not Clarke

let the corporations have their cat fight

11. Dear Mr Dobbs

You have implied that CBS ran the damning interview by Richard Clarke of the Bush administration to simply make money.

Horrors of horrors Mr Dobbs!

By the way, how much money will the owners of CNN make off Bush's $200,000,000 ad warchest? Does that money influence YOU and your cohorts at CNN?

No? Really?

12. I told you Dobbie was a Dubie.

Well, okay, he almost suckered me in too, but never again. If he would like to tell us about conflicts of interest with Fox, or if he would like to reveal how right-wing books make it to the top 10 bestsellers, I may give him a second chance.

13. The networks are whoring as well...

Political season, WH betrayed, etc....(puking now).

14. Shaheen just bitch slapped him

Dobbs tried to cut off her very well said listing of Bush's fiscal flip flops and Dobbs came into stop her. Then she said he didn't do that to the previous right wing guest and Dobbs said he was extremely biased and clearly looking for a way to respond to the TRUE charge.
