My favorite source for news The Huffington Post has become my number one outlet for news resources. Though not your traditional media I enjoy the composite site, that includes original articles from major new sources i.e New York Post.
Each article summed up, even including links to other interestingly similar articles, some investigations and reports of their own, but still including a link to its original comrade.
When browsing I found an interesting piece on the former CNN anchorman Lou Dobbs. Links to both The Huffington Post and New York Post are provided.
Dobbs hoped to become a political icon, either in a New Jersey Senate seat or maybe even a run at the White house in the 2012 election. His hopes for running for office was cut short when realizing his campaign for the November Senate seat would have to take flight this month if he was seriously thinking about the Senate position.
Despite his political ambitions Dobbs is looking to return to television. Dobbs seemed to be interested in working at Fox, commenting he would "certainly" consider a job there if offered.
I personally think that Dobbs would be best having his own show on the Fox News Channel, his comments that he made while anchoring for the supposed to be non-biased CNN would defiantly be more fitting and expected on the Fox News Channel. Even though Fox News Channel claims they are non- biased, they do have a lot more talk about particular issues like the Glenn Beck show who is known for his provocative views.
I always questioned Lou's place at CNN, just like I questioned Glenn Beck's place at Headline News, a CNN affiliate. I was not surprised in the least that Beck made his way to Fox News (he always reminded me of a slightly more sane Bill O'Reilly). If the major news networks are to remain politically polarized (after all, having an agenda can lead to a more passionate news report, which tends to keep ratings up), it is in the reporter's, and network's, best interest to have a cohesive reporting team that is all on the same page.
ReplyDeleteGlenn Beck always really makes me laugh. Check out this article we did on him last semester.

Anyways, had I been in the situation I would of left CNN. Dobbs had his own voice and should get paid for it.
Oh, also, Fox news is biased. Bottom line.
I agree with Lou Dobbs should have his own show. With having your own show, you have less to worry about when speaking your opinion and your the only one controlling the show. This limits further arguments between a co-anchor,boss, and such. I believe Lou Dobbs will a sucessful candidate for the Fox News Channel. Lou Dobbs is entitled to his own opinions.
ReplyDeleteLou Dobbs is and always will be a legend in anchormen history. Yes he made comments but what reporter or news man doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI do believe and agree with him having his own shows. He is very opinionated and if he wants a career or somewhat of a career in politics it would be beneficial for him to have a show where he can give his own opinions.
If he had his own show with the understanding it was his show and watch it if you dare then people although they would complain would really have to room or excuse to.
I personally hate all TV new stations. I stick to the print and seek to fill in the rest myself.
ReplyDeleteLou Dobbs should definitely have his own television show. He fits the mold perfectly. Not only does he want to return to television but he can speak his mine. He will be able to express his opinions and not have to worry about stepping on anyone’s toes. This will give him the freedom to reach out and touch all the topics he wants.
ReplyDeleteI dont personally feel that Lou Dobbs having his own television show will affect the media. It seems that he is a very opinionated person so I probably wont be interested in watching him cover any stories.
