For CNN Headline News, a new face at 9 p.m.?

June 10, 2009

A little birdie tells us that with Nancy Grace doing so great at eight on CNN Headline News, the network wants to capitalize and is bringing in a new voice for the 9 p.m. hour.

Grace, who has been out rating the flagship network’s Campbell Brown, and on some nights MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, is followed by the 9 p.m.  rebroadcast of CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight.

The new personality, likely to be announced this week,  is described as someone who is from outside the cable news business, but is well-liked by many and disliked by some. This new hire may even give Larry King something to worry about, says our source. Hmm. Suggestions, please to this blog.

What ever happened to the Walter Cronkite/Chet Huntley/David Brinkley concept for news? Is Jim Lehrer the only survivor? Except for him, the whole cable entourage makes me sick. And even NPR doesn\'t seem to care that it\'s impolite to interrupt someone. Meanwhile an honest presentation of either liberal or conservative views is very hard to come by.

Joy Bear should do much better IMO. She\'s smart, funny and will not invite Tom Tancredo to be a host.

After today\'s horrible events, I\'m guessing even fewer people will want to have anything to do with this racist creep.

I rather enjoy waiting for CNN to announce the start of Lous show and then punching my remote to switch to the 7PM showing of Hardball. I get a thrill running up my leg.

Thank you CNN. Take Lou Dobbs, terrible program of his. He is an angry old man. CNN, shouldalso remove Campbell Brown. She is another Conservative who panders to the right. Disgusting both of them

Lou Dobbs is always so angry. I love when he critises illegal immigrants, and we find out later he employs them as his daughter horse trainers.What a hypocrite.

Lou Dobbs showcased a piece of Foxnews in CNN. He belongs in an island of angry white men - Fox News. These guys really make a lot of money for being hateful and I am not sure they really are that hateful because they are also actors in news reporting business.

Lou Dobbs is a known conservative and although I disagree with his views on immigration, race relations in America, the Obama administration and several other issues, he should be heard. We should not demonize Dobbs and call him names because of his pro-conservative views.

Lou Dobbs is the single most disgusting person on television. One day, our children will look back and wonder how we allowed his blatant racism to go on for so long.

Lou Dobbs is an embarrassment to humanity, of course, but if that vile emotional bloodsucker Nancy Grace can be said to be \"doing great\" then I am afraid that we are all doomed. Doomed, I tell you!

I used to watch Lou all the time but no more. His show is horrible and disgusting. CNN is going down the tubes period. As for John King I don\'t know how anyone can watch him. He is not a reporter to wishy washy afraid to go after anyone.

Lou Dobbs could screw up a ham sandwich. I used to watch his show frequently but now his show is terrible.
