Lou Dobbs should resign. At the very least he should be fired for using his show on CNN as a mouthpiece for the "birthers." These are the Tea Partying Teabaggers that are made up mostly of angry white supremists who are looking for a reason to punish Obama for winning the election as the first black president of the United States. After having his butt handed to him by John Stewart of The Daily Show, Lou used his show on Thursday night to play a psychological game with CNN's Roland Martin, using Judge Poe from Texas as his lynch partner. CNN needs to save what's left of it's name as a credible news organization and Fire Lou Dobbs. Lou's attempt to degrade and discredit the president is unacceptable and Lou needs to lose his job over this.

Reaching one hundred signatures confirms that many others feel uneasy about the way our news networks operate. It is encouraging to see this agreement build among people who value integrity in journalism.

July 24, 2009

The feedback I receive daily reinforces how deeply people value the integrity of our news organizations. We are continuing to document these instances of biased commentary to ensure the network understands the gravity of our concerns. Change often requires sustained attention even when the conversation feels quiet.

I signed this petition because of the despicable behavior of Lou Dobbs, who tweeted the address and phone number of Jessica Leeds, a woman who accuses Donald Trump of grouping her. Yes, Dobbs apologized. But he didn't even check to see if the info he retweeted was true. Turns out, it wasn't. Fox, fire him!

Dobbs clearly violated the tenets of journalistic integrity with this stunt. He needs to go NOW>

I thought it was illegal to disclose the address of sexual assault victims. That Lou Dobbs would do this show that he has absolutely no decency. He should be fired for his long string of reprehensible antics. He reflects very poorly on CNN.

Because he gave out contact information for a victim of sexual assault, he --and anyone who employs him--has lost all credibility.

Vile, irresponsible, bottom-feeding, blight on the journalistic escutcheon. When this woman has to go into hiding for her own safety, will you pay to put her life back together?

This man is a hate filled disgrace and should have no place in journalism.
