Lou Dobbs - From Business Guru to Laughing Stock?

MarketWatch's Jon Friedman certainly thinks so.  In a commentary piece he said; "I used to laugh off CNN anchor Lou Dobbs' eccentricities. I chalked up his bluster and preening to the concept of television news meets show biz. But now, I'm sorry to say, I can no longer chuckle at the spectacle of Dobbs' antics. Quite simply, the man has sold his journalistic soul to the devil."

Maybe you are right Jon.  Before Dobbs left CNN in order to set up his own business in the early 2000's, his show, Moneyline, was one of the most trusted business newscasts on television.  Indeed, I remember watching it religiously every night.  Upon his return to CNN, he seemed to ditch the professional business image, and began down the road of a political commentator dishing out the kind of drivel normally reserved exclusively for Bill O'Reilly.

In my eyes, he's not a stitch on the CNNfn/moneyline/business journalist he once was, and now I don't pay much attention to his programme.  In fact, I haven't watched it for about a year.  To read Jon's comments, click here.
