[...] 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.
