I'm not so sure. From what he said, I suspect he has some semi-grandiose plan in the oven. Furthermore, I am not sure that Fox wants him. Contrary to what Fox's critics say, FNC is not highly ideological in its reporting (as opposed to Sean Hannity and Glen Beck). Dobb's constant immigrant-bashing may very well be unwelcome at Fox.

Just for further clarification of what you are talking about, what do you think is wrong about what any of those people have to say? If you have specific objections, where is a link to a direct quote and why do you object? |

Dobbs may be giving his true feelings regarding immigrants, however it is perhaps the most guaranteed "hot button" for the target audience. A local talk show host (Roberts) has made a living off of it. |

A local talk show host (Roberts) has made a living off of it. I see, and I was just questioning the Hannity and Coulter reference. I guess we can read something into the written word that would not be there if spoken. I used to enjoy Dobbs as a financial guy much more than I do now, but I must say that I rarely catch him on CNN. |

AzWm Just for argument sake William.... what does Dobbs say about immigrant's that's any different than Hannity, Coulter etc. etc.? I haven't watched Dobbs enough in recent years to give a definitive answer to that question. Based on what I know, it seems to me that Dobbs has harped on the immigration issue over and over to the exclusion of almost all else. Or at any rate such seems to be his reputation. I suspect that the three you mention all believe that no one should be in this country without permission. I surely hope they all believe that. . . such a view is completely justified. To believe otherwise would be to reject the very idea of sovereign national territory. Coulter and Beck emphasize other issues; Dobbs is pretty much defined by his crusade against illegal immigration. Of course, there are many groups in this country who do not differentiate hostility against illegals from hostility to immigrants in general. That's unfortunate, since such a view makes effective border enforcement difficult. With respect to Fox, I think that (a) they have enough high profile hosts and guests already (John Stossel was added recently) and (b) Dobbs is such a one-note voice that he probably is thought not to offer enough value for the money. And I think Dobbs would not take anything other than a very high salary, probably seven figures for a start. I cannot say for sure, but I think it not impossible that Dobbs decided some time ago to ride the anti-immigrant horse to further his career. That does not necessarily mean that he is insincere, merely that his emphasis is deliberate. AzWm |
