Shots Fired at Lou Dobbs... or Were They?

[Replies: 37]
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/isabel-macdonald/nj-law-enforcement-appear_b_339696.html

New Jersey state police seem to be contradicting CNN Host Lou Dobbs' account of a gunfire incident near his Sussex County, New Jersey, house.

On Monday on his radio show, Dobbs stated that "my wife has now been and I have been shot at." The alleged incident, which Dobbs had reported to the New Jersey State Police, took place three weeks prior to the October 26 broadcast of the Lou Dobbs Show, and Dobbs told his listeners that it had "followed weeks and weeks of threatening phone calls." Dobbs' discussion of the incident during his radio show also included mention of both longtime critic and FOX host Geraldo Rivera and the immigrant advocacy organizations calling for his removal from CNN including the National Council of La Raza, America's Voice and other "ethnocentric interest groups."


If it's found that Dobbs' version of events are not true, does it ruin his credibility as a journalist?

We always need a few good old boys to talk about things in the good old ways as a gauge to see if we've progressed or regressed in different areas. Why not? The market is there.

O'Lielly's audience is 100% white and redneck.

Old angry white dudes who can't accept the fact that they are failures because they are stupid losers.

Jerry Rivers? He'll get his kneepads out with Dobbs just as he has done with the racist O'Reilly.

Does it matter that Fox News apparently won't hire him now?

Dobbs is a self-pitying, lying paranoid.

Nothing that comes out of his mouth is credible and his lousy TV hatefest is not journalism.

Nothing would ruin Dobbs credibility as a journalist. He never was, is, or will be a journalist. He's what's called a personality, which proves that you don't have to have one to be one.

So the question is, if Dobbs' version of events aren't true, will this ruin his career as a personality?

If I lived somewhere that bears were a danger, I'd make a recording of a lion roaring and play it really loud when the bear came around. I'm not sure but I think that would scare a bear.
