Who will Lou Dobbs blame for sharp ratings drop?

June 10, 2009 4:09 pm ET by Karl Frisch

From Politico's Michael Calderone (emphasis added):

While it's already been noted that CNN's prime-time audience has dropped sharply in recent months, less viewers are tuning in at 7 p.m., too. Compared with May 2008, The Observer reports that Lou Dobbs has dropped 29 percent in total viewers and 27 percent in the key 25-54 demo.

I wonder if there is a helpless scapegoat that Dobbs can blame for this.  Hmmm, I just can't put my finger on it.

      Just send him packing to Fox and his ratings will go through the roof. Look what happened to Beck. CNN needs to give Begalla and Carville a show at 7PM and Bill Bennett and Steve Schmidt can host a show at 8PM. It basically is a presentation show for each sides ideas concernign the events of the day in DC. I would watch both shows, but I never watch Dobbs or Campbell.

      That's easy...

      The reason for Dobbs' loss of viewership is illegal immigration. Duh. Recently,there has been a surge of arrests of illegal immigrants breaking into white people's homes and stealing their TVs. Why would they do this? Obviously, this drives down Dobbs' ratings.

      It's a rather clumsy plan by the Mexican government to remove conservative voices from the airwaves.
