Latino Pressure Killed Dobbs' CNBC Deal


According to ThinkProgress:

CNBC dispelled rumors that former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs would be joining the business network. Meanwhile, Dobbs affirmatively told Fox Business News shock jock Don Imus that he didn’t even talk with CNBC and that he had “no idea where they even got that.” However, National Hispanic Media President Alex Nogales told ThinkProgress today that CNBC was in fact talking with Dobbs and that his hiring was, at least in part, thwarted by the same coalition of Latino, civil rights, and media-watchdog groups that successfully campaigned to get Dobbs off CNN airwaves.

I expect him to wind up on Fox - if they have room for one more larger than life ego. Huntley and Brinkley must be spinning over news coverage the past decade. (Not that *I'm* old enough to remember them - much)
