Over the past six months, it’s become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us.

And some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond my role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving, as well as to contribute positively to a better understanding of the great issues of our day. And to continue to do so in the most direct and honest language possible.

“Going beyond my role here at CNN”. Translation: I’m tired of serving as a punching bag for illegal alien rights groups with no support from CNN’s management.

What’s next for Dobbs? A new show on Fox? A political career? Working the red carpet at next year’s Latin Grammy Awards?

Stay tuned.

Lou Dobbs calls Keith Olbermann a left wing hack, and more

It’s Easter weekend, family is visiting, and we weren’t going to spend too much time on IHateTheMedia.com. But some things are just to sweet to pass up. Like CNN’s Lou Dobbs calling MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann a “left-wing hack,” “who has to spend so much time adjusting his medication he can’t figure out what he’s doing.”

No time for humor analysis and comment. It’s enough just to watch and listen.

Thanks to Newsbusters.org for the heads up.
