I guess that “birther” thing didn’t work out as well as he hoped it would:
Mr. Dobbs’ first began reporting on Obama birth certificate conspiracy theories on the night of Wednesday, July 15. In the roughly two weeks since then, from July 15 through July 28, Mr. Dobbs’ 7 p.m. show on CNN has averaged 653,000 total viewers and 157,000 in the 25-54 demo.
By contrast, during the first two weeks of the month (July 1 to July 14) Mr. Dobbs averaged 771,000 total viewers and 218,000 in the 25-54 demo. In other words, Mr. Dobbs’ audience has decreased 15 percent in total viewers and 27 percent in the demo since the start of the controversy.
I guess he’ll have to go back to his illegal immigrant crusade. Either that, or jump to Fox News where the audience is likely more inclined to believe any nonsensical thing they hear just so long as it bashes Obama.
i wonder if Dobbs even cares about his ratings. If he does, he’ll drop the conspiracy theories pronto.
If he keeps with the crazy then he will move to Fox — if they’ll have him.
all Lou Dobbs cares about is money and so does CNN. So I expect to see Lou Dobbs being the set-up man for Glenn Beck on Fox News.
@Steven D,
“go back to his illegal immigrant crusade?” Lou’s latest move was a combination of birther nonsense and anti-immigrant nonsense, implying that Obama was an illegal immigrant.
And the truly delicious part? He’s now running FOURTH in his time slot, behind Jane Velez on Headline News. That’s right, a Latina is now out-rating Crazy Lou.
Quick Lou, check out Jane’s citizenship! She can’t be legit if she’s outdrawing you.

“Every night Lou Dobbs continues to tackle the most complex, challenging issues facing this country and our world,” said a CNN spokesperson when asked for comment. “No other show at 7 p.m. offers the insightful, solid reporting on subjects from the economy, to North Korea, national security, foreign policy, with strong debate and discussion from all sides.”
Response to CNN: “What a crock.”

I’d love to se “Loony Lou” take a nosedive! The man’s an actual “nut.”
