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.

Lou Dobbs: 2nd Worst Person in theWorld?
May 8, 2007
Lou Dobbs and ratings-challenged CNN (I still miss Soledad O&;Brian) have finished second again, as Lou Dobbs is only the runner-up (to Fox&;s Bill O&;Reilly) on Olbermann&;s Worst Person in the World.
One of the few tough questions Lesley Stahl asked in a softball 60 Minutes interview with her new CBS colleague Dobb was about why his CNN show reported 7000 cases of leprosy in the last 3 years, with the implication that immigrants had brought leprosy with them.
Olberman gave Dobbs his &;worst person&; nod for saying, &;If we reported it, it&;s a fact.&; Apparently, 7000 cases of leprosy have been reported in the past 30 years.
