I understand the importance a person's prior activities may have in assessing his current behavior; on the other hand, it is sometimes well to view a person by his current efforts. I am not a member of any brigade; I just happen to think that in the list of major TV commentators available, Dobbs has been doing a service. Some of you apparently know where or how to access more esoteric commentators. Good for you. Enjoy! Sorry, didn’t mean to upset delicate sensitivities.

he deals with guests who disagree with him much more fairly and intelligently.

intelligently? probably. fairly? no. he talks over his guests just as much as o’reilly does, and routinely shouts down people who are in more of a position to know.

he provides more current, valid information about the things going wrong for this country than any other commentator, and much more than those giddy guys on Fox.

that’s some faint praise.

If his critics were a little more honest. they would have to agree you find out more about the screwing the people are getting from Congress and the White House than from any other so-called news broadcast.

dobbs does have the balls to call out corporations, i’ll give him that. but his YEARS of shilling for them prior to his re-birth cancel that out for the most part. and there are plenty of better places to find out about what’s wrong with this country. maybe not on tv, but so what?

Take a deep breath and listen to Dobbs; it’ll do you some good.

how exactly? what can he tell me that i can’t read by less xenophobic writers online? what other gross distortions has he committed and then will refuse to correct? he doesn’t have the credibility at this point, and doesn’t seem to care.

Dobbs is not perfect, but he provides more current, valid information about the things going wrong for this country than any other commentator, and much more than those giddy guys on Fox. He is more of a protagonist in some ways than a commentator. If his critics were a little more honest. they would have to agree you find out more about the screwing the people are getting from Congress and the White House than from any other so-called news broadcast. Most of the other channels provide a barrage of opinions amid gales of chuckling and jokes. Take a deep breath and listen to Dobbs; it'll do you some good.
