Oh look…another Dobbs piece…
What does this make? Five? Six Dobbs pieces this week alone? I’ve lost count. Talk about “flooding the zone”. Anyway, Newsweek’s Jonathan Darman has an interview with Lou Dobbs…
You’re so passionate on this issue, you take such a strong position. Is it appropriate for CNN to give you a platform every night?
Look, there’s a multitude of voices in journalism. No one is compelled to watch my broadcast. My audience expects me to present the news, offer debate and my opinion and the opinion of others as well, on these issues. The fact is that I am passionate about issues such as the outsourcing of jobs, the high cost of free trade, immigration, the failure of government to represent working men and women and our middle class. I’m very sorry to whichever partisan extreme is concerned, but my job is to report an independent, nonpartisan reality, and that’s what we do.
