Lou Dobbs BringsEdge
May 11, 2007
So says Steve Friedman, producer of the The CBS Morning Show, now third in a three-horse morning show race, in an NPR segment. Putting aside the question of how much &;edge&; 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.

60 Minutes Plays Softball with LouDobbs
May 7, 2007
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.
Now CNN&;s Dobbs has not one but two networks to lash out on. On 60 Minutes Lesley Stahl asked a couple of tough questions, but mostly was bowled over by her new colleague&;s charm offensive. He even played the married-to-a-Mexican card.
Stahl and Lou wrapped up by driving a tractor together, on the 300-acre New Jersey farm owned by this voice of the middle-class.
