        Good point! And can Lou back up his beliefs with any evidence? I believe that Lou should have retired a few years ago, and he is providing evidence why almost everday now.

          We can certainly prove the right does it. But the left? There really isn't a left wing media anymore.

      Hey Lou!

      You are aware that your superiors at CNN can hear your radio show, right?

      Do your best to mainstream absolute nonsense, then blame everyone else for calling you out on it? Gee Loo-Loo, you're right, there is a conspiracy. It's a conspiracy of brains against nutwing slime like yourself.

      Lou, so I don't have to keep up piecemeal, why don't you just list all of the conspiracies in which you believe? If you don't have enough room please use a separate sheet of paper.

      Mr. Dobbs, if there were a huge, left-wing media conspiracy, don't you think the higher-ups at CNN would have fired you by now? Just sayin'.

      I think I discovered a new mental illness.

      Tricky Dick Syndrome: blaming a conspiracy of liberals or some other boogeyman(Jews, etc.) for the inevitable backlash incited by one's own stupid/racist comments or corrupt/criminal behavior.

      In order for this behavior to qualify as a mental illness, the person exhibiting it must be totally unaware of his own defense mechanisms and must really believe that there is a conspiracy against him, which appears to be the case with Lou Dobbs.

        Attack like hell = call you out on your BS, Lou.

        As for the Left Wing media remark, ever watched Lou Dobbs Tonight? It's a birther fantasy land.

      Listen carefully, Lou...there are consequences for saying irresponsible things on the air to hundreds of thousands of people. If you don't like that then retire or go sell hospitalization insurance.

      I love these right wing clowns like Lou Dobbs, Hannity, O'liely, Blimpbaugh, Beck and Savage that all claim they "independents". They're so ashamed to admit they're republican. Hilarious actually.

      If there's a liberal media conspiracy, how do you explain the media fabricating the stories about Gore inventing the Internet or discovering Love canal or being the inspiration for Love Story?

      How do you explain the media's insistence that Gore drop his 2000 recount bid when anyone with a lick of sense could see that Gore really won and the election was being stolen?

      How do you explain eight years of phony Whitewater "scandal?"

      How do you explain John McCain's continued appearances on Meet the Press and other shows even though he LOST the election?

      How do you explain the lack of coverage on George W. Bush's and Dick Cheney's DUI's, and Bush's failure to appear for his National Guard drills?

      How do you explain that the media didn't demand HOURLY Cheney's resignation after he SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FACE, despite the routine calls for Clinton to resign?

      Hillary Clinton was spot on when she talked about the vast right wing conspiracy. Dobbs is part of it. And he's just delusional to talk about a left wing conspiracy.

        Don't forget that wingnuts are all about projection. Whatever they accuse someone of being/doing, they are almost always guilty of the same.

      He can blame me, although I am not a part of the national media, because I sent him an email letting him know what a possible consequence of his irresponsible behavior could be, ie, an assassination attempt on the POTUS.
