Lou Dobbs is a complete hypocrite - anyone watching his show?
He claims to be independent but

- Attacks Olbermann for being liberal but ignores the buffoons on faux news
- Attacks Obama donors, but skims over the fact that Mccain is getting twice as much from lobbyists
- Attacks the Senate's roll in the Fannie debacles but ignores the white house
- Doesn't mention that he's a repug and conservative - how can he by his own definition host a show on independents
- Attacks any guest who challenges him - and these guys were probably vetted before coming on
- Attacks the MSM for daring to question Pallin and skips over the scrutiny Obama endured about his patriotism, religion, elitism.

what a fucking state of affairs. Olbermann get bumped for speaking the truth (reality does have a liberal bias), while an imbecile like dobbs gets to lie about his own fake independence.

4. Why watch him?
And don't even try that "We have to know what the enemy is thinking" line that I've heard so many times before.

You know the truth, so go with that, and leave a bigot like Dobbs in your dust.

15. Yeah, they suck you in that way,
and there you are, expecting something informed and intelligent.

And then you get Dobbs.

26. Because you have to be current in your armature.
The best way to go after them is see their argument up close.

12. I Quit Dobbs!
He has made it clear that he will only bitch about republicans when they are in power to attract viewers. Once they are out of power or they are up for election, his true colors shine through.

Funny how he pisses and moans about Bush, yet gives favorable treatment to his long lost twin brother John McBush. Big difference there Lou... NOT! Oh, and why wasn't Dobbs ever bitching about Bush before the 2004 Election and during the 2004 Election? Because he didn't want him to lose the election to Kerry.

13. Dobbs has always been a joke.
He calls himself 'independent' merely because he bashes both parties - but his view on policies are anything BUT independent. Ever since his lowly days of only having an economic show on CNN, he's been a big fan of laissez-faire governmental economics, more reduction of taxes (framed around "it's best for the middle class"), and he's spoken out against Unions.

And, of course, his latest political crusade is illegal immigrants which he screams about so much he's made himself the punchline of many jokes.

Make no mistake: Dobbs is a MSM neocon. He just paints himself as independent because it's easier to get ratings and bash people by pretending to be non-partisan.

18. Dobbs has turned to the far right
So has all of the MSM with the exception of 2 hours a day on MSNBC. i refuse to watch CNN now. The right wing propaganda machine is running at full power just in time to give the election to McCain. Palin is the biggest joke in political history but the internet is the only truth you can find about her. It's very easy for the right wing machine to dismiss the truth about her, while the sheep still think she's the "savior and the celebrity".

22. I used to watch his show about a year ago when he was
railing about the "War On the Middle Class". He has since become a bafoon.

28. I was watching today when he had on T. Boone Pickens
and he was fawning, and I mean fawning all over the guy. Later while flipping through, there's one of T. Boone's commercials about natural gas saving America. He didn't even mention he was a sponsor on the network. Blatantly shoddy journalism.
