In fact, Dobbs was tentatively schedule for the Tuesday night broadcast, to talk about birthers, of course. But it appears his CNN boss may have put the kibosh on the appearance.

From Mediaite:

Now Mediaite has obtained the email exchange between Dobbs' team and the Fox producers, proving the CNN host's interest in appearing on the program.

The emails show a lengthy exchange between Steve Karas, a publicist for Dobbs' radio show, and Rob Monaco, an O'Reilly Factor producer. Tuesday morning, Karas pitched a Dobbs appearance on the Fox News program, saying Dobbs was “very interested in coming on.”

I have to say it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of what CNN's bosses have final say over in terms of Dobbs and his birther crusade. CNN chief Jon Klein claims the cabler has no influence in terms of what Dobbs says on his radio show. Yet in this case, it was Dobbs' radio show flaks who were lining up an appearance on Fox News. Did CNN suddenly step in and overrule Dobbs' radio show publicity? And if it did, why can't CNN step in and overrule what Dobbs says on his radio show regarding birthers?
