Is Fox News Channel president Roger Ailes about to score another big name personality for his fledgling off-spin business channel?
According to The New York Times television and digital media reporter Brian Stelter, News Corp's (NASDAQ:NWS) Fox Business Network is considering adding CNN "Lou Dobbs Tonight" host Lou Dobbs to its lineup.

Fox should pick up Lou and find a place for him.
Why bring the enemy into the camp?
My bet is Stelter read that speculation here, and is now reporting it as if he heard it from a “source”.
I would hate to see Dobbs go to FOX. He is the only reality CNN viewers get! We cannot win this battle by singing to the choir.
One bit of good news!

Good idea. And since he would probably get something like double the number of viewers on Fox, I presume they can afford to pay him more than CNN does.
That’s the advantage when you have a big lead over your competitors. You can offer more to attract the best stars. And you can also offer them . . . more viewers and more influence.
Kick Shep over to MSNBC where he belongs.
Swap him with Geraldo...throw in the toilet plunger for free
If Dobbs moves to Fox he will never again utter a single word about Obama’s eligibility.
Fox has a tight muzzle on all its employees about this issue. Personally, I am **DISGUSTED** with Fox about this.
“...throw in the toilet plunger for free”
and Shep.
Give O’Reilly in the trade.
Somehow, Bill has gone off track and lost his Conservative followers.
I believe Dobbs is the only person drawing serious ratings at CNN. Stealing away Dobbs would make Fox stronger and CNN weaker at the same time.
CNN seems to have no sense at all when it comes to talent. Anyone heard the ratings for the Joy Baher show? How would you rate less than zero viewers?
Brian Stelter must be Pinch’s pool boy/FOX News watcher.
“Fox should pick up Lou and find a place for him.”
John Stoessel and Lou would be good for Fox, Stoessel/Dobbs and Fox viewers.
Polling members of FR is not an accurate assessment. He was never Conservative to begin with, and the number of viewers of his show has actually been going up because of who he's competeting against (Campbell Brown at CNN and Keith Olberdork at MSBHO).
==================================
He's no more dangerous than O'Reilly!
“Why bring the enemy into the camp?”
Enemy? Do you actually ever watch Lou Dobbs? He is the ONLY reason we don’t have amnesty and a bigger flood of aliens coming into this country! The biggest failure of man from family to nation is NOT recognizing who the enemy is...the ENEMY is within your own GOP!
Another well known freeper used to refer to Dobbs as a Markist!! If that kind of LIE hadn’t been told for so long we would NOT be in the mess we’re in!

“I believe Dobbs is the only person drawing serious ratings at CNN. “
You are right about that. Years ago, Dobbs walked off the set and quit CNN because they kept interrupting his broadcast with “Clinton’ speaking. They BEGGED him back.
