News Lou Dobbs resigns from CNN
Posted by Patrick Saunders on Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 5:16 AM
CNN fixture Lou Dobbs made a surprise on-air announcement today by announcing his resignation from the network.
The backlash that followed Dobbs' outspoken views on immigration and promotion of the delusional birther contingent will be mentioned ad nauseam in the coming days as the reason for his exit. Liberals and Latinos will cheer. The Media Matters crew are losing, going on a scavenger hunt for and then losing their shit yet again in celebration.
Everyone will assume a spot for Dobbs is waiting on Fox News alongside Hannity, O'Reilly and Beck. Maybe it will be. Conservatives will cheer.
But does it matter? Does Dobbs matter? Do any cable news talking heads matter anymore now that everyone has gone all-in on their talking head of choice?
Full text of Dobbs' statement here and video here of his departure.

I doubt Dobbs will be on Fox, he will probable be starting a run for either the Senate or the house.
