Truth, Fiction and Lou Dobbs

[Benny Profane]

....another demagogue who profits from America's ignorance and fears. A rich white guy who pretends to talk for the people, and spit on hard working immigrants. CNN is really descending into shit.

“Well, I can tell you this,” he replied. “If we reported it, it’s a fact.”

I just want to point out that his wife is of Mexican descent and he lives with her immigrant parents.

[Benny Profane]

well, that family knew how to social climb. I wonder if they're all legal.

In Sparta, NJ.

Went to high school with his 2 daughters. Both royal bitches. Yet another reason to dislike Lou Dobbs.

[Tippster]

Lou Dobbs is a blowhard douche. He treats his crew like serfs and tries to "trick" people he's doing live crosses with (live conversations between the studio and "on Location) just to make himself look smarter.

John King refused to go live with him ever again, and he was the WH Correspondent at the time.

Dobbs preens himself on always getting it "right." Good to see he's getting "his just desserts."

I find it comical the the NYT has the nuts to deem themselves the Media Watchdogs. Anybody remember this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Blair?

So who can be a media monitor? Who doesn't live in a glass house? Is Jason Blair writing the story on Lou Dobbs?

Lou Dobbs is a fucking institution who makes shit up, he is abetted in this by an entire cable news channel. Jason Blair was a low level reporter at the Times. When his shit was caught the executive and managing editor resigned. Sounds to me like the organization took responsibility and cleaned house.

Oh... and if you're such a media critic, then tell me this:

Who is Jack Kelley?

No googling, no research, no wikipedia. Just tell me who he is.

that role should be reserved for "independent" shill blogs?

it's the future dipshit, anyone can say anything they want. it's up to the individual to decide if it has merit.

I think it's everyone's job to take all media w/ a grain of salt, but the NYT caught Blair making shit up about 200 times before doing anythign about it.

Jack Kelley is Johnny Dangerously's boyhood nickname NEXT!

see my post above- i agree w/ you.

I admit, I googled him. I couldn't help myself.

[Core Shot]

I love Lou.

There. I said it.

Commence telling me to fuck off and die.

PS - I'm sure he is a blowhard and he was def wrong on the leprosy thing

You left out "ILLEGAL" or the softer "undocumented" in front of the word immigrant above. And I am sure one else has ever been wrong in the media before.

P.S. I dont think he spits on them - do you?

[Benny Profane]

No, as a matter of fact, it's a bit like your avatar.

[givethepigeye]

On all or just the illegal ones?

The point I guess I tried to make is that Lou Dobbs has a problem with illegal immigrants - not the legal ones from what I can tell and have heard on his show.

Dude, the world is not ending - trust me. This is all just politics and everyone has a role to play. Its all a big conspiracy which no one individual has any control over.

[Benny Profane]

Yeah, you're right, what WAS I thinking. Crack another brew, burn another stick, the world sucks, nutin' we can do, money rules, let's just go out and grab a burger and maybe some tail.

Meanwhile, some poor Mexican dude who walked 2000 miles across the continent for the distinct pleasure of washing your dishes or cutting your grass for below minimum wage and living 12 to an apartment is always looking over his shoulder for the newly minted white supremacist that good ole' buddy Lou inspired in his last broadcast.
