60 Minutes Plays Softball with LouDobbs

By encinoman

After public relations disasters like Don Imus and Janet Jackson, it&;s interesting that CBS, once called &;the Tiffany network&; would take a chance on the increasingly demagogic Lou Dobbs.

[...] Lou Dobbs BringsEdge So says Steve Friedman, producer of the The CBS Morning Show, now third in a three-horse morning show race.  Putting aside the question of how much &;edge&; the viewers of the Charmin-soft morning shows can really handle, let&;s hope that Lou Dobbs, who says he&;s in the vanguard of &;opinion anchors&; like Olbermann and O&;Reilly, doesn&;t bring as much edge to CBS as Don Imus and Janet Jackson.
