Lou Dobbs to quit CNN effective immediately

CNN anchor Lou Dobbs (pictured) calls it quits.

Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views have made him a TV lightning rod, said Wednesday that he is leaving the cable news channel effective immediately.

Sitting before an image of an American flag on his television set, he said “some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day.”

Last summer the President of CNN said the Obama citizenship issue was ‘dead,’ but Lou Dobbs revived it as reported in the second link below.

Will Dobbs’ exit leave anyone left at CNN with a conservative viewpoint?
