Lou Dobbs To Salem Radio Network
- Thread starter DToTheJ
- Start date
Wow...didn't see that one coming!
According to the article, it's just a featurette. Not a show.
I like Dobbs. I was just getting into enjoying how he approached issues realistically when he lost the CNN show.
An example: when Health Care was being hashed out, he actually examined how other countries handled theirs. And this was done over several weeks and not just one 8 minute segment. This is how I would have handled it. It's not as though other countries haven't also had to deal with this.
Then he went to FoxBiz which I refuse to pay more to watch on my satellite account. (I won't be demanding it from them either).
Fox should have him in their Fox News lineup and not on their Business Network.

Dobbs will only do three business updates per day for now. He'll probably get a brand new daily radio show at some point. Consider when he left CNN and joined Fox Business Network. At first, he was a contributor. Next thing you know, he's got a brand new television show with the same title ("Lou Dobbs Tonight") in the same time slot that he used to be at CNN. Something will give at Salem, eventually.
If these financial reports are anything like his previous ones, then no.....they won't be interesting. Unless you have a really low bar for what constitutes "interesting" when it comes to a fresh/new/relevant take on the day's business news.
Dobbs is a legend, but his most recent daily 1-minute features were nothing more than "Here's what the market did today" and reciting the numbers from the S&P, Dow, Nasdaq, etc. Salem signing Dobbs is akin to when the San Diego Chargers signed an aging, way-past-his-prime Johnny Unitas.
