I listened live to Lou Dobbs announce his departure from CNN after working there for 30 years. As Joseph Farah observed, this left “the network in a state of programming irrelevancy.”
For years there has been just one reason to tune in to CNN. His name was Lou Dobbs.
What makes Lou Dobbs so special is his independence and fearlessness. Dobbs clearly set his own agenda. He had no interest in the “conventional wisdom” of his industry. Dobbs thinks like a real American newsman – a throwback to an age when journalists actually believed they were watchdogs of government and asked tough questions in the interests of the people.
When virtually his entire profession and elites in all the other political and cultural institutions of our time were making excuses for allowing tens of millions of illegal aliens to occupy our country, Lou Dobbs was alone in his focus on the issue critical to America’s safety and security.
Here’s a bit more about the forces behind the purge:
Months ago, the president of CNN/U.S., Jonathan Klein, spelled out two options for Lou Dobbs, the network’s most outspoken anchor. Dobbs could vent his opinions on radio and anchor an objective newscast on television, or he could leave CNN altogether.
On Wednesday, Dobbs made his decision: He chose opinion.
Dobbs told viewers that he was resigning from his CNN job immediately. Sitting before an image of an American flag on his studio set, he said “some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day.”
He remained vague about how he would contribute “to the national conversation,” saying that he was considering “a number of options and directions.”
The synophobia, the protectionism, the populism—there was a lot to disagree about with Dobbs. But Mr. Farah is right; CNN is not much without him.
To get an idea of the kind of malicious attacks the man faced, read this drivel on the huffing post.
The drive to get rid of Dobbs, I predict, will miscarry.

Excerpted from “Your Government’s Jihadi Protection Program,” now up on WND.COM:
“To claim you correspond with an al-Qaida recruiter for purposes of ‘research’ is like saying you read Playboy magazine for the articles.”
“The jihadi who committed fratricide at Fort Hood would never have advanced such fatuities. Leave such deception to the nation’s military and intelligence establishment: Last December, no less than two Joint Terrorism Task Forces finessed Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s extensive correspondence with the infamous radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki as an innocent exchange.”
“The Muslim-American who (‘allegedly’) murdered 13 people and maimed 31 on a United States Army post had been straightforward about his sympathies throughout his military career.”
“Honest Hasan took every opportunity to inform his colleagues and classmates that he was a Muslim first, an American and an officer second, and that Islamic law usurped the Constitution. That minor tidbit failed to rattle the military.” …
