CNN tells Lou Dobbs to shut the hell up with the "birther" nonsense

Here, and the full email here.

And, just as a "meta," what does it say that the President of CNN has to intervene with one of his "news" hosts to get them to stop implying provable falsehoods on the air?

Now, that's what cable news is made of!

  • Dobbs always has a home on Fox News...he is turning into "saner" version of Beck anyways...

  • You know, he got fired from CNN awhile back and then they brought him back because they couldn't even meet his low ratings.

    Fox probably wouldn't take hime because he doesn't generate numbers.

  • That's the odd thing with cable news... they have smaller audiences -- some very small -- and ignorant puff pastries as hosts, yet they're treated as peers in the "world" of news journalism. Somehow cable has become a conduit for stupid (and hate) to enter the mainstream dialog as legitimate discourse.

    I don't get it.

    (and yes, I know not all cable programs have miniscule audiences. but still...)
