Lou Dobbs moving to 7PM opposite Tweety in November

[RamboLiberal]

CNN announced Lou Dobbs Tonight will be moving to 7pmET from 6pm. The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer will now be three consecutive hours from 4pmET - 7pmET. Blitzer also becomes CNN's lead political anchor for the 2008 elections. The programming changes take effect Nov. 5.

>More from the press release. Dobbs says, "I can't wait to hit prime time. Our program is tailor-made for people who've heard the headlines, think most of the news defies logic and want to understand what's really happening in, and to, this country."

Lou Dobbs Tonight has experienced dramatic ratings growth over the last two years, rising 18 percent this year in the P25-54 demo. Lou Dobbs Tonight has become the most-watched program on the network outside of Larry King Live.

1. Lou Dobbs reminds me of that guy on "Network" I expect him to

yell to the top of his voice any day "I'm mad as hell and I ain't gonna take it anymore"! He gets pretty livid and HATES the boosh administation every last one of em!

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. He hates Democrats too. n/t

[angstlessk]

12. I think he hates everyone except the neo nazis who guard the boarder

he is just an very angry man!!

2. Goodbye.. oh...CNN doesn't get rid of shows that bomb

they give them new contracts...heck look at Glenn Beck the worst show on Cable and they renewed him.

5. Dobbs isn't bombing

His ratings are good and he's picked up viewers in the key demo. I think this spells trouble for Tweety IMHO.

3. Tweety's always got his sunny nobility to see him through.

Or he could dress up in cowboy & pilot costumes to improve his ratings.

4. a segue into KeithO, no less.

muy interesante.

6. Oh good now I can watch CNN at 6:00 and skip Tucker

Usually I turn the TV off, cannot stand Tucker or Dobbs. I can tolerate a little of Wolf depending on who he has on.

7. and more important - opposite Jeopardy . . . so long, Lou

8. Then Tweety had better move to the LEFT and stay there or his show will be finished. Lou's

Anti-Immigrant show will continue to pull in all the xenophobes who adore his rhetoric and hate Mexicans. I HATE Lou Dobbs' continuing anti-immigrant..... bullshit show. If Tweety moves to the LEFT...he'll kick Dobbs' ass in the ratings.

10. We always watch Lou Dobbs

I try not to watch Tweety at all, cannot abide him!

[Mutineer]

11. They need to move him to 8pm.

Between KO and Dobbs, I think they could defeat Bill O and put Fox in their place.

13. not that i care about anything on CNN, but if tweety's ratings go down more,

I am for it.

14. Lou Dobbs is an angry bigot!

What's wrong with him? Ever since he got his new teeth, he's been well... ahh angry. He seems to hate Mexicans. I think he's imploding.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

16. compared to others, he is tame. but I agree.

just check out that maniac, beck glen, or whatever his name is.

[madinmaryland]

15. It not the news that defies logic, it you Lou Dobbs that defies logic.

[KoKo]

17. Ayyyy....The "Empire is Reprogramming" in time for anothe Election Steal!

:-( Three hours of CNN's Blitzer? There are so many acronyms for Blitzer...none of them I can post or I would be banned...but...ugh.
