Just caught his fond farwell, and he gave no indication of what he'll do next. My guess is go into politics or join FOX News.
I don't know what the heck I'm going to watch now from 6-7. Dobbs had his quirks and slants, but I enjoyed his commentary and more importantly, the people he had on his show (both rep and dem) were some of my most respected. Not sure why CNN would let him go either. CNN is really falling apart.

Threats on his family perhaps?

Thank goodness! Alll of his fighting for the middle class rhetoric ... kept waiting for the solutions. And his boring voice. When I'm driving at night I like listening to loud music, but when that doesn't work, I turn on CNN to listen to the news so I can think about what they're saying. Except for when Lou Dobbs comes on -- his delivery is so soporific.

I kind of liked ole Lou, but got really tired of his constant whining. He is so OTR all the time.
I wish him well and hope he lands in a happy place.

He's going to go in search of Obama's birth certificate, full time.

Money. Or go in search of Obama's birth certificate. Probably money.

I kind of thought the innuendo was that CNN was not letting Lou speak what he sees to be the truth. Even though he spoke well of CNN, which may have been sincere, I also think he may have been being 'professional' about it. I wasn't a HUGE fan of Lou, but I thought he did a good job of what he does.
He did push a few points a little too much and when he had staff reporting on certain issues, Lou seemed to pressure them to conform to his line of thinking. But I liked some things about Lou. He was opinionated, but he seemed to apply common sense to matters and had opposing view points on his show.
Anywho, I wonder who will pick him up. He seems to have a following. But after being pretty 'prime time' I only see him taking another big show offer. That's my 1/2 cent.

Dobbs announced abruptly Wednesday evening that Wednesday would be his last show on CNN. He said he wanted to pursue more advocacy journalism, a route that was no longer available to him on CNN......advocacy journalism? like military intelligence or creation science or jumbo shrimp?
Beach Fanatic
I like John King, he seems fairly objective, well at least for CNN..
Beach Fanatic
I guess John King will be playing with his maps! He did that so well during the elections and everyone seems to like him. Will be interesting. Don't have tv service so I will rely on what others think/say.
