Is Lou Dobbs on CNN impartial?   Would you consider him to be unbiased?

hahaha\nNO to both of em buddy. Lou Dobbs is completely right biased, but the great thing about him is that he doesnt hide it like others do. Hes all in your face about it. Even though I dont agree with him at all, I still respect him. Let me tell you something, there is no such thing as unbiased news in the world today. Everything is slanted, its just a question of proportion...Fox slants very far, CNN slants but not as much as Fox, NBC slants nicely but still not as much as Fox. Point is, if you want good unbiased news, watch the Daily Show with John Stewart on comedy central. He makes fun of everybody...Totally unbiased\n\n\npeace\n\n\n\nAddition: No kiddin Stewarts a liberal. But if you ever take the time to watch his show, he makes fun of the liberals just as much as he does the conservatives. Thats what I like so much about him, hes picked a side, but he can make fun of his own side as well as the other side when they mess something up. You know?

I do not know him personally so I can not comment on those matters.\n\nI do not know him professionally as I do not purchase his material.\n\nI know he seems to have a large influence on the more uneducated among liberals who seem to be prone to wasting money  (that they always piss and moan about not having)  on pretty much anything he produces that bashes the US government, the war, American society or the President.\n\nHe sounds like the typical capitalist who understands very well that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

I saw him on Fox News last night, and I think he is one of the most incoherent academics I've ever seen--and that's quite a feat.\n\nHow come the liberal media didn't give him a hard time for calling ALL of the World Trade Center victims "Little Eichmans", but they fell all over themselves to excoriate Ann Coulter for what she said about the Witches of New Brunswick?

Yah by all means lets keep this lie going. I don't think everyone has heard it yet\n There is no liberal media bias. This is one of the BIG LIES told to keep people from questioning our government.

Actually Im mixed on the issue. Im more conservative on things, but he didnt really say anything too out there. On the other hand, if he was completely unbiased, hed have said things in favor of the current administation and it appears hes only throwing out anti bush, anti american sentiment. Id have to hear more of his lectures to know.

So many douches so little time...\n\nI have to laugh at the votes for Michael Moore - don't ya'll do *any* research at all?  If you did, you'd know that UNlike O'LIEly and Inshanity, (sorry couldn't resist) Moore has *your* best interests at heart AND his material is based in fact, not whitebread/fascist/racist fantasy...\n\nBut since you are asking about douche bags, surely you meant to include the women?  Ann Coulter and Michelle what's her name...?Malkin - try out to out-douche each other all the time.\n\nIn a way, you can't blame these HIGHLY PAID BABYSITTERS FOR THE RIGHT:  All they have to do is spout what these zealots want to hear and the networks will pay them nicely for getting the 'bots to tune in - and consume, consume, consume...

But how much of your "information" is filtered through a system that may not give you the whole truth?\n\nAny source for news will have a bias, regardless of the intention.\n\nNo offense, what proof do you have to support the 90% number you quote?

I do not believe that journalists can be completely objective about anything they investigate. In fact, I don't believe anybody can be completely objective about anything. Our experiences form our identities and those experiences influence our responses. Journalists are people too.\n\nAlso from a scientific basis, there is something called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in quantum physics which states "one cannot assign, with full precision, values for certain pairs of observable variables, including the position and momentum, of a single elementary particle at the same time even in theory. It furthermore precisely quantifies the imprecision by providing a lower bound (greater than zero) for the product of the standard deviations of the measurements."\n\nWhat this loosely means is that when you examine something, you end up influencing it. While this principle is meant for elementary particles, I think it can be applied to things in general.\n\nFor example, if you were a journalist covering President Bush and his handling of the Iraqi War - the way the President interacts with you may influence the way you portray him or which side you believe in. \n\nHowever, that's not to say that journalists cannot try at least to be objective and present both sides of the story - allowing equal opportunity for both sides to present the facts or whatever spin that side whats to present and allow the audience to decide for themselves what their stance is.\n\nIf you enjoy movies, check out the movie Good Night, and Good Luck that just came out on DVD recently. It's the movie that was produced and directed by George Clooney about Edward R Murrow's interaction with Senator Joseph McCarthy. The Edward R Murrow in the movie was presented as trying to be objective in his presentation, but you will see how hard that is as we all have beliefs.

I can't believe you need to even ask. Look at where the source is coming from 1. CNN 2. Larry King 3. R. Emerald\n\nabsolutely retarded, no wonder everybody is so messed up, it is impossible to get any truth anywhere, anymore. The media is no longer relaying news it's relating editorials and opinions that are falsely perceived as truth.

if you would read the papers and watch CNN you would understand why he voted to not fund military.  Lou Dobbs is a show that will show you just what is going on and what actions are being taking in this country, especially in Iraq.  Plus do you want funding of the military to only send more troops to foreign countries to over throw a government when those troops should be here protecting our own boarders and people....

wait a minute.  who are these "Libs so gung ho for War?"  i'm certainly no liberal, but i know, and tolerate, somewhat, a number of self-proclaimed liberals.  by the same token, i know and tolerate, somewhat, a number of conservatives (who are mostly embarrassed these days).  all these folks, which i regard as friends and associates have one thing in common.  they are against the war.  they mostly feel they've been lied to by a government they want so much to support.  now personally i knew bush was lieing when i saw his lips moving.  now of course i've been prooven correct.  that doesn't make me feel any better.  this war is a tragedy.  \n\nas for your commentary on main stream media, you describe it as "their MSM media."  i take it you see the media as liberal?  where have you been?  main stream media is anything but liberal. when was it?  sure there have been a few liberal types who had columns, perhaps a few television talking heads, but media is big business, and in so many cases is unabashed state propaganda.  you should thank your god that there are liberals in the media.

I agree with the person that said brainwashing. The truth of the matter is that FOX news channel has a major conservative agenda and they are not afraid to show it. Many people who rely on this type of media can think in only one way. The republican or conservative one. It should not be about what party you belong to but where you stand on certain on the issue. Bush has done nothing for this great country. I hope he realizes before his term is over the damage he is doing and lets somebody capable of doing a better job, but please not Dick Cheney.

The liberal media bias is largely a myth. It's the label the conservatives like to use when the Republicans are outed by the NY Times and Washington Post. When mainstream media reports show the president or Congress in a bad light they are said to be biased. \n\nIt seems these days that all news is spin, but if you want to see real bias continue to watch Fox. \n\nTo answer the Hannitys and O'Reillys of the world, Air America launched and is truly liberal and biased. Thank God.

I doubt you always hear that.  I'm diehard conservative, and have loved John Stewart throughout most of his career.  Idisagree with him 99.9% of the time. As I always say to my friends, (I live in MAss so most of my friends are liberal lol) "I don't need to agree with you to like you."  I watch daily Show almost every day.  There are days when he is too bust screwing around with punditry to the point where I aint amused so I switch off, but those are rare.\n   As fo Colbert, I think he carved himself a hilarious nitch.  Often, his satirical right wing rantings are my actual opinion, and I feel I'm being personally spoofed.  I love it.  \n    So I don't know who is saying that as far as who you talk to, but I have a good guess your are making a presupposition and posting it as such.\n\nEDIT-I have seen more than one conservative on the Daily Show I might add. Rick Santorum comes to mind.  Joe Scarborough was on Colbert recently.  Stewart and Colbert , as a side note, treated conserative every bit as respectfully as any typical guest.

I disagree about Coulter and Hannity. Oh they are good at lying and spinning, but they are not in Limbaugh's league. No, the only guy out there who can tell a bald-faced lie with as much in-your-face bravado as Druggy Limpboy is Bill O'Reilly.

Today she was in Lou Dobbs  - I had to switch the TV off. I cannot stand her. Basically she avoids all the questions that Republicans are not happy to answer. She is not making any progressive shut-up, she talks in her high pitch voice and blabber things which are not at all related. I consider her to be in the group of rich Republican who just make the hard working real conservatives stupid.\n\nI accept her point that it is wrong to use dead people to push political agenda as liberals are doing - it is great to use that for pushing for Iraq war!\n\nIt is easy to harp on democrats and liberal policies since democrats are an umbrella group for 100's of wide ranging political interest groups starting from gay-lesbian groups to environmentalists. Some of the stance taken by liberals are out of main-stream America but saying that every left-leaning person as godless is a big stretch. 90% of the liberals stands for the following and nothing more:\n1. Good fiscal policy that can stop these huge deficits\n2. Help for the working men and women for whom it is getting harder every year to survive\n3. Keep the medical cost in check\n4. Stopping arrogant foriegn policy\nAnything beyond this is an aberration - some groups would like to push their agenda through Democratic forum but it is never gonna succeed.
