Trump announces former Fox Business and CNN host Lou Dobbs has died


Recommended Posts

Lou Dobbs, the longtime business news anchor who became one of Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters in the media, died on Thursday. He was 78.

 

Quote

Dobbs had a lengthy career in broadcast journalism, spending more than two decades at CNN, which he joined at its inception in 1980 and anchoring the program “Moneyline.” Dobbs left CNN in 2009 to help media mogul Rupert Murdoch launch the Fox Business Network.

 

“Lou was one of the CNN originals, who helped launch and shape the network. We are saddened to hear about his passing and extend our sincerest condolences to his wife Debi, children and his family,” a CNN spokesperson said.

 

As Donald Trump ascended in Republican Party politics, Dobbs became one of his most ardent supporters, using his program to promote anti-immigrant rhetoric and lash out at the so-called “deep state.”

Okay, I'm going to chalk this up to scanning the top half of the front page, seeing the word 'Trump,' and skipping it thinking it was a Trump story. :p 


In many ways, it is. Some might say, the biggest. Lou Dobbs, big man, strong man, came up to Trump, tears in his eyes, and said “sir, sir… I’m dying… and I want you to be the one to announce it”.

Dobbs is a weird one for many reasons, but this sticks out: he used to be a business anchor with no noticeable bias. Example:

 

 

Then his shows centered around trade/immigration, and then he went into birther mode in 2009. And then he just became a Trump cultist through and through.

Yea, it’s weird, he was definitely one of those people who was respected by “both sides” of the political spectrum in the US, then he got a brain worm or something. It was truly a sight to behold
