Lou Dobbs expected to resign from CNN tonight, multiple sources say. If true, we await his explanation. He was one of net's first employees.

[pissant]

Onto to Fox, I reckon

[Ticonderoga34]

He’s going to Fox Business Network. That would be my guess.

[goodnesswins]

Gee...what will CNN do now?

[Paladin2]

Gee, maybe CNN will become inexpensive enough now that Ted “Montana Grille” Turner can afford to buy it back.

[syriacus]

Interesting.

[Justaham]

Without him, CNN will tank even more. Hope he goes to Fox.

[llevrok]

And so the line between right and left are now clear.

[Boiling Pots]

Beefalo never really took off, did it.

Is Jerry Rivers cleaning out his desk?

[Uncle Miltie]

Being replaced by Juan Valdez, a recent immigrant with questionable documentation.

(*rimshot*)

[Huck]

I just found out recently he lives in my town. Never seen him around anywhere.

[acoulterfan]

Hope CNN will take Shep Smith!!!!!

[Texas Eagle]

Trade him for Shemp Smith!

[montag813]

Fox is WAY overloaded with talent. Where would they put him? They don’t even have an evening spot for Beck (I think he should take Hannity’s slot myself)

[Paladin2]

Dobbs was pretty smokin’ hot about “Jihad” on his radio show today.

[roses of sharon]

Running for office?

[Boiling Pots]

They have a business network now.

[abb]

Sounds like a plan.

[Paladin2]

Nope, but Turner is making money growing buffalo on his Montana ranches.

[Dan Nunn]

Agreed! They need a Fox News Channel 2!

[A CA Guy]

His family at home have been threatened I hear.

[Paladin2]

Nope, but Turner is making money raising buffalo on his Montana ranches.

[Texas Eagle]

Woo hoo!!!

This will be the first time I've watched CNN in years.

As a matter of fact, Dobbs's show is on the same time as Shemp Smith's. Let's all drive Dobbs's ratings sky high so maybe FOX will get the idea to trade him for Shemp and a Whorealdo to be named later.

[Paladin2]

"have been threatened I hear."

Uh, shot at.

[Jeff Chandler]

Trade him for Shepherd Smith and an NPR employee to be named later.

[OldDeckHand]

'Without him, CNN will tank even more. Hope he goes to Fox."

While he gets beat handily by Shep at 7:00 pm, he's still CNN's 2nd highest rated program, I believe. The most recent numbers may be found here.

His departure would definitely hurt CNN even more than they're already hurting.

[DavidAccord]

Trade him for Shep Smith and a player to be named later.

[dila813]

FBN, oh, got to get it.

[stockpirate]

Someone shot at his house with his wife on the front porch.

[Boiling Pots]

If it isn’t that popular, how is it making much money?

Ted Turner is the largest private landowner in the US. My guess is that he will will his land to the Gov’t upon his death.

He will, of course, be providing the “model” for all “green citizens” who die wealthy.

[dila813]

I thought it was going to be Acmed Hamz

[UCFRoadWarrior]

I bet Jerry “Racist” Rivers-Rivera is not a happy camper right now....bet Dobbs will be at Fox or FBC real soon....although FBC is probably more of an anathema to Dobbs pro-American/anti-Globalist positions than CNN ever was

Good luck to Dobbs wherever he may go. He is one of the few on TV...whether Fox, CNN, MSNBC...who is not a brain dead liberal Globalist

If CNN is not dead now...it will be soon. Nothing falling faster than CNN ratings

[Rational Thought]

Maybe replacing him on the weekend shows?

[EDINVA]

Yeah. There was at least one thread on here in the past month or two that he was going to the Fox Business Channel. Neil is really growing that thing, with Imus, Stossel and now, maybe, Dobbs. Gotta make the MSM nuts.

[FDNYRHEROES]

Without him, CNN will tank even more. Hope he goes to Fox.

Looks like CNN may lose both viewers...

[paulycy]

Lou is the ONLY show on CNN I watch.

Hey CNN: Buh-Bye!

[Paladin2]

It’s not hybridized Beefalo, it’s genuine US grade A Buffalo. Libs will pay all sorts of money for that.

[luckystarmom]

Fox business channel with business news.

[newfreep]

Hopefully, both Jerry & Shep will go to CNN.

[navymom1]

And strange cause I would have thought you couldn’t get any more liberal than Olberman/Maddows on MSNBC.

[mware]

Fox Business Channel.

If you don't have it.

DEMAND IT

[Deb]

Gee, Howie, you really don’t know why? Really?

[True Republican Patriot]

Even CNN should NOT BE CURSED WITH GAY SHEPARD!!

PMSNBC DESERVES SHEPARD SMITH! He fits in well with Prissy Chrissy and OBERDOUCHE! and of course The LESBIAN MADCOW!

[Rome2000]

Sees the writing on the wall.

Another nail in the coffin of the communist news network.

Their coverage of the terrorist attack at Fort Hood was shocking in it's depravity and lack of objectivity.

CNN is basically the propaganda apparatus of the socialist democratic party of the USA.

[PhiKapMom]

The only person that CNN has that I actually watched — now I will be able to watch him on Fox Business from all accounts — YEA!!!

[Gene Eric]

>> Beefalo never really took off, did it.

LOL, time warp.

[ml/nj]

Hope he goes to Fox.

His "Independent" shtick is a bit much for me.

ML/NJ

[PhiKapMom]

That would be so great if Geraldo left Fox and went to CNN — perfect match and he can take Shep Smith with him.

[Jet Jaguar]

BTTT

Good news!
