Did 'Birther' coverage spell the end for Dobbs at CNN?

Accuracy in Media (AIM) reveals some interesting information on Media Matters in this June 2007 article, titled "Hillary's Hit Man Strikes Again".

And in this most recent article: CNN's War on Lou Dobbs (I probably should have read this first:)

Doesn't look good for free speech.   From the article link by Rhonda "accuracy in media" it squarely  places the blame on left-wing dislike of any criticism of the President and their intention to stifle any reasonable debate.

Journalism and free speech took a hit again.  I tend to agree with Rhonda, why spend all this money, when u can just produce the certificate and put matters to rest.

I view articles from media matters with suspicion.

Just to set the record straight, I have never been a fan of Lou Dobbs and I have a remote control to take care of that.  I also think that the birth certificate issue detracts from the real issues.  Having said that, why is it so hard to produce a long form birth certificate?

It appears true from everything I have read, Hugh. Here's a comprehensive read: Obama birth certificate lawsuits.

Gee, he and Dan Rather seem to have plotted a similar career course when they say anything against a sitting president?

As usual,  Barry sums up in ten words what is the crux of the matter;  the Artiste has real talent,  and I mean that!  :)  ;)

Rhonda:  I did not put "Opinion"  on this as I do not offer my opinion,  which I am holding in reserve.  I am only showing what the Washington Post and Media Matters have to say.  The latter state their opinion,  but I do not say I am in any agreement with them;  I only show what piece I came upon which prompted me to post this.  Very fishy.  

"Media Matters" is a biased organization with an agenda supporting ILLEGAL immigration.

Media outlets such as "Media Matters," "America's Voice," "The Southern Poverty Law Center" and others such as the National Council of La Raza, and the Center for New Community, are working hard to subvert our laws and system of immigration that is in place, and it appears to be working.  The resignation of Lou Dobbs shows that their efforts are achieving successes in undermining the laws of the United States and freedom of speech supposedly guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, by working to silence those who dare to speak out against the status-quo.

The Washington Post and most other "Mainstream Media" is in the back-pockets of the financial elite and therefore is also biased.

The TRUTH is... the nations of the world are alligning towards one-world governance and total control by financial globalists, corporations and Central World Bank dominance over the world's resources and financial markets, thereby effectively erasing all national borders and individual sovereignty, enslaving us all.  Alternative media reports these truths while mainstream media keeps quiet or supports the lies while distracting from the truth and issues that should be front page headlines.

In my opinion, Lou Dobbs is a true Patriot for reporting on important issues that affect all Americans (and the world) while the corporate elitists, bankers and their supporters should all be labeled as TRAITORS and punished as such.

Additionally, Obama should be required BY LAW to provide proof that he is indeed a natural-born native American and furnish his birth certificate, if he is to remain President of The United States of America.   Otherwise, impeachment should be in order.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Fabulously incredible, This joker, who used to be taken seriously by some, manages to engender a passion, as a pastime on CNN's dime, attempting to disgrace One of America's largest ethnic citizenry and he Gets credit for only one preposterous remark. This only goes to show that unless a particular body of people feels personal and collective resentment, they nay advocate exclusively for their own. Ever hear "First they came for the Jews, then they came for me" It seems to apply here. Many times Mr. Dobbs was confronted by news folks and questioned on the veracity of his reporting, only to respond that if he said it, it was true. Not so, because the reporters has concrete facts which disproved Dobbs allegations ans weird theories. In fact Dobbs said that CNN also was in line with his reporting. Fox news told Geraldo Rivera that Dobbs would not be working there. One really never knows, though because lately our population is acting very strangely. I feel for our people, (Black, White, Hispanic and others as well). Remarks and not facts, are meant to show extreme prejudice. We will agree on one issue with a sense of patriotism, only to find that our misguided agreement just eliminated our only possible ally. That is what is going on today. Our laws and practices, including the God thing, have been a tool used only to protect certain conditions and keep the carrot visible until one who is not preferred reaches that poit, and then the stick or the whip is there to prevent forward or upward motion. Whatever motivates you today against your people, will tomorrow be motivated against you and yours. Lou  Dobbs will have a place to go and the person who is jumping into his position, is only going to circle the wagons on everyone. The  "beyond the Beltway on pressing policy issues and the real people they impact. " Certainly it is not rocket science to understand that quote. He will speak in a language that will exlude tha layman and consider that real people are the only ones who will be considered. The viewers should not too happy just yet. WE can vote or help elect someone, once they are there it is for a while. All of us tell the truth, It is up to each one of us to understand, what is it true about.

Personally I am irked by the sudden required birth certificate syndrome. I have what I believe to be a great idea.

Someone, not myself, because i do not know how to do it, but I know it can be done.

Set up a web page with each and every president and vice president and even runners for the job.

Show all presidents birth certificated on it from the first to the last. Authentic ones and verified only. Also it may be a good idea, to dispel any potential problems, to try and get the people who are alive now to personally have a chance to voluntarily submit theirs.

Many people are heavily full of themselves and claim no immigrant past, so we may want to know if they have native descendants. (Indian)

They can then be linked to any or all pages on the net including youtube, Facebook, Twitter etc. If I don't receive a response on this with someone willing to do it, I will consider collaborating with someone on it.

One remark I have is that no president, before Obama, has been asked this question. Certainly this entertains some sort of bias.

Lou Dobbs and the Birth certificate is a hand me down story he chose to pick up and would bet that if it were a Hispanic person and not Obama, He would have been the first on it. No one is stopping anyone else from posting what they believe is the truth. Things are not helped any when the leaders of this country, do not provide the real facts to the people. The president of the United States of America, Once elected, does not have to dignify him/her self to anyone by showing personal documents of any sort, which are certainly already examined before his candidacy. It is in our constitution that no one who is not a residing member of this country, for x amount of years, can seek and hold office. If it ever turns out that Obama is not a citizen, We will need to fire everyone responsible for having anything at all to do with having to check that detail. Further more They would have to face felony charges and possible incarceration. Now that, is something to report.

The birthers are tiresome, and no matter what is presented to them to disprove they will continue the conspiracy theories, perhaps forever! 

It reminds me of the controversial information about the influence of the freemasons in America, and was George Washington really a freemason and did the tenents of secrecy and intrigue influence his decisions as president.  Also the latest theories about Lincoln and was he really suffering from a wasting disease and would have died anyways, if he had not been assinated. And on, and on, and on. 

It's the pedestal effect.  Great people attract those who want to knock them down, and they will go to extreme lengths to do so.  It's a flaw in human nature. : (

Nancy Salvato with BasicsProject.org :

"What perturbs the rest of us is that President Obama has failed to produce a legitimate birth certificate. He has a team of lawyers who are opposing the examination of his sealed records in Hawaii. What he produced was a certificate of live birth... not a birth certificate. The rest of us are appalled at the lack of media examination surrounding the fact that there is no law requiring that a candidate for the highest office in our land produce an authentic birth certificate which proves natural citizenship."(from Obama birth certificate lawsuits).

"During the Democratic primaries, supporters of the Hillary Clinton campaign pointed out that there were issues with the validity of Barack Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate, claiming that it was a fake and that Obama was therefore ineligible to run for the presidency.
