Lou Dobbs: Fox News Wannabe

Is anyone as sick of Lou Dobbs as I am? His nightly harangue on "Broken Borders" is about as deomogagic campaign as I have ever witnessed outside of the Fox News' jihad against the supposed "War on Christmas." Here's just the latest example:

The best thing that could happen to America would be to outlaw TV news altogether. It is a far worse threat to American civics than the drivel shown in "regular progamming." At least the regular programming does not expicily pretend to be news.
