Lou Dobbs: From Curmudgeon to Nut

Hot off being selected America's Most Trusted Newscaster, Jon Stewart gives Lou Dobbs hell for backing up those trigger-happy birth certificate conspiracy nuts.

Jon Stewart creams Dobbs

(HuffPo)

"Do you even WATCH CNN?

"It's your own BEEPING Network! And that was Kitty Pilgrim filling in for YOU on YOUR show!

"She debunked that theory, filling in for YOU, on YOUR show Lou!"
— Jon Stewart, The Daily Show

Just three days after his own CNN show debunked the cranky conservative conpiracy theory, Dobbs then said of such foolishness, "There's a lot of questions remaining, and seemingly the questions won't go away, because they haven't been dealt with."


A day earlier, MSNBC's Chris Matthews took on California Congressman John Campbell, a sponsore of the "Birther bill" which would require "future presidential candidates" (one in particular running in 2012) to provide a copy of their original birth certificate.

Matthews accuses Campbell of subtly "appeasing the wacko wing of his party" when the congressman appends "as far as I know" after Matthews presses him to admit that Obama's an American citizen.



CNN competes with FOX Noose to scrape the bottom of the barrel, because both stand ABSOLUTELY no chance of catching up with network TV news.

FOX clocks in, at their best, during the run up to THEIR Iraq war, at 3.9 million viewers a DAY. CNN barely break half a million adult viewers.

Meanwhile...

NBC Brian Williams: 9.6 million PER EPISODE
ABC Charles Gibson: 8.9 per episode
CBS Katie Couric: 7.8 million per episode


While rejecting CNN's craven struggle to live up to Roger Ailes journalistic standards, can we PLEASE stop accepting FOX lying about how popular they are?

Any of the national network TV anchors are more than twice as popular, even Katie. Combined, that's a LOT of people who don't choose FOX Noose.

Twenty-six million compared to 3.4 million? Most people are not FOX zombies.

Add CNN and MSNBC. It's 30 million non-FOX viewers, almost ten times as many.

Enough rightwing mythologies... hubris... and arrogance... misplaced anger... Dobbs spewing lies about Obama, like someone's rejected stalker.

"Limp-minded Lilly-livered Lefties"

Can you IMAGINE Brian, Charlie, Katie, Brokaw, Stephanopoulos, Schieffer, Koppel, Jennings, Russert, Cronkite, Brinkley... any of them acting the way Dobbs does.

They would NEVER even be in this position, and if they found themselves there, like Dan Rather, they'd have the decency to resign.

Fox News Viewer Emails To Shep Smith: "You Don't Belong Here"

Mr. Smith said, "There's a lot of money in opinion, and those guys are fascinating, terrific entertainers.

"This is a news organization. There can't be a Fox News without news."


One harassed news anchor in a zoo full of opinionated Armageddon-mongers does not a news organization make. Poor Shep is the token who risks a lot to present normalcy at FOX Noose, albeit to little effect in the big picture they present.

Besides, Murdoch's more liberal offerings are to liberalism what poppies are to the Islamofascist war against the West: the cash crop.

Ultimately, many of us are to blame, because we consume plenty of other FOX products that keep FOX Noose swinging, shows like the Simpsons, Lie to Me, Doll house, Fringe, Life on Mars, Fire Fly, Futurerama, Buffy, X-Files, Glee, Family Guy, Slumdog Millionaire, X-Men, Ice Age, Borat, Once, Marley and Me, Juno, Waitress, Little Miss Sunshine, The Darjeeling Limited, 28 Days Later, The Last King of Scotland, Garden State... and so on and so forth.
