LA Times media critic James Rainey wrote today that Lou Dobbs continues raising questions about Barack Obama's birth certificate on his radio show, and in doing so, is offering "a platform for assorted wing nuts."
Rainey's piece follows Dobbs' bashing the "national liberal media" -- and specifically the LA Times -- on his radio show Tuesday. In looking at Dobbs' claims that there are still questions to be answered, Rainey spoke with Brooke Jackson, director of the Annenberg Political Fact Check, which debunked the theory last August.
"CNN should be ashamed of itself for putting some of that stuff on the air," said Jackson, who worked at the cable outlet for more than 20 years.
Besides Pilgrim's skin-back report last week, one CNN employee reminded me several times that Dobbs' most pointed assertions were made on his radio program, which is unconnected to CNN.
Indeed, CNN tells TVNewser that the network isn't involved in the radio show.
"On CNN, Lou is an independent reporter who covers stories that people are talking about, and often showcases issues that aren't being covered by the mainstream media," said the spokesperson.

I don't know why Lou keeps on this either but CNN is definitely showing more liberal slant in coverage of Obama and forcing continued programs and discussion on black Americans.
CNN followed the racist overtones with that story on the black professor breaking into his house. Its appauling coverage forcing a racial issue. If you look at the comments on CNNs website, well over 90% of the people thought the police were doing their duty, the neighbor being a concerned citizen and the professor reaching on his racist rampage to the cops. CNN is trying to force a racial issue. Same with their continued promotion of their 'Black in America series'.
Basically, a neighbor saw this guy breaking into a home. The neighbor didn't recognize that he was the owner (I believe it was his rental) and called the cops. Cops came (including a black cop) and demanded he show ID. The professor (of AA studies) went on some racist tyraid against the cops about profiling and discrimination, refusing to show ID. Eventually they arrested him for be belligerant and then let him and dropped the charges later.

I bet Lou moves to Fox.

But we have to have some conservatives and moderates on CNN or else the network is totally unbalanced again. I wish these people would stop pushing their racial and leftist agendas. Just report the f-cking news. The story I mentioned was so over the top with the race stuff, it was horrible...and the people that watched CNN totally disagreed.

I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me whether the networks have balanced commentators. I'll always just watch whomever can deliver the news, commentary, etc. in an entertaining way.
I only mentioned Dobbs leaving because Fox is constantly stealing the good CNN people. I can see him and Nancy Grace leaving for Fox at some point. The only person CNN will probably never lose is Larry King.

How was the issue "debunked" when Obongo still refuses to provide a birth certificate?
-
LOL WTF was that 2nd?
-
Lou disapoints on this. Last week Pilgram filling in on his show pretty much debunked the birth cert issue. Then Lou comes on a few days later and continues with the myth. ::)
Totaly self ownage Lou.

CT and racism in the same post.
You're a multi-tasker!

Racism? Cry me a river..
Seriously, why won't he? Nothing CT about it. There can only be so many reasons for him dodging the issue.
-
Nothing CT about it.
The state says the certificate is legit, as does the repub governor.
it's quite the THEORY to believe there is a CONSPIRACY to hide his birthplace.
you = CTer. Welcome to the club. Snacks are over there.

Coming from the clubs senior member I am honored. ;D
Now where would that blasted certificate be? I wonder..

the governor of Hawaii said she has seen it, and it's real.
A nonpartisan group checked it, and said it's real.
Obviously there is something on it he doesn't wish to share, and that is his business.
it has been validated by the governor of his state.
liz cheney was on Larry King last night, and she did a lot to 'nudge, wink' the birther story along.

Maybe his birth name is "Obongo." :D

Sorry. You left it wide open.

I'm intrigued by this birther thing. it's like the 911 CT thing, only so much different.

Yes, very intriguing. My guess is it's fine and he just doesn't care enough to address it but it's just weird not to placate people and throw it in their face, "SEE!!! I'M AMERICAN YOU NUTS!!!!" I just don't get it.
Similar to my feelings toward the WMD issue. Granted there were never as many as were estimated anyway but what was there and what happened could be declassified and at least partially exonerate W. And yet nothing. Very strange to me and many other service members.

But - and correct me if i'm wrong - you don't think Iraq was about building bases (as SA was booting us) and controlling oil (which yes, we just won the first oil contract as part of a conglomerate).

I personally like Lou a lot. He is always professional, always fair and rarely if ever have I heard him say something that I felt was off the mark. He's the only blatantly non leftist cable news personality I have ever seen make Al Sharpton look like a complete jack ass without raising his voice or showing any emotion.- Al had to sit there and eat it. Lou is the anthiesis of O'Reilly in a lot of ways. O'Rielly yells and interupts people and wags his finger. Lou just talks. I saw him do the same thing to that brain dead douche Errol Lewis who writes for the daily news. Never shouts, never gets animated, just lays out the facts knowing you have absolutely no response except off the cuff emotionalisms that weakly disguise your losing position.
With this birth certificate shit- Lou just needs to let it go. Whether or not its true, Barry is scandal proof and he's the president now- might as well focus on the 150 other relevant problems with him and leave the birth certificate theories to the CT nuts.

I like Lou too. I'll continue to listen to him, but on this one, he gets a great big eye roll. I like most of what he says but this, not so much.

Maybe it was. I'm not disputing that and I can't read Bush's mind. But there is evidence not known to the public that would be greatly helpful to Bush's post-presidential image.
IMO we had quite a list of positive things we could benefit from after ousting Saddam. WMD was an overblown argument in my mind.

I don't listen to Lou Dobbs, and I don't know what he said, but man do they hate that guy in China.
Quite a few people have asked me about him there, and they were none too happy.

I like him even more now :D They don't like him because he was the main guy reporting on all the toys coming in from china made with lead paint and other crap. Also because he talks about the trade deficit and things like that.

I am honest about my bigotry. I hate everyone.

Agree with Hugo and George above. Lou is pretty level headed and mild mannered though he leans conservative on many (but not all) issues. He typically respects his guests and focuses more on facts than opinion. He's definitely not like O'Reily and Olberman.
