New York Times' Media Decoder blog is reporting that CNN anchor Lou Dobbs -- long time anti-immigration proponent and "birther" conspiracy advocate -- is leaving CNN.

Story developing, video coming soon.
Lou Dobbs To Depart CNN

A CNN executive confirmed that Mr. Dobbs will announce his resignation plans on his 7 p.m. program. His resignation is effective immediately; tonight’s program will be his last on CNN. His contract was not set to expire until the end of 2011.

So is this the end of any and all conservative people working at CNN on air? Are they on their way to becoming MSNBC Lite?

I think he'd make a good sidekick for the hate mongering Beck, don't you think so?

Edit: It's official, Dobbs just announced that tonight will be his last show....good riddance to bad rubbish!

Well, there goes any reason to watch CNN. They lost the last non-lberal commentator and only true objective person on CNN and the news in general. It doesn't suprise me. CNN officially declared it's a liberal pro-Obama channel which isn't why I watch news.

I'm assuming Lou is going to FOX now. CNN should be ashamed. I used to distinguish them from MSNBC but now I won't

Mr. Dobbs met with Roger Ailes, the chairman of the Fox News Channel, in September. At the time Mr. Dobbs was viewed as a potential hire for the Fox Business Network. But a Fox spokesperson said Wednesday, “We have not had any discussions with Lou Dobbs for Fox News or Fox Business.”

Wow, isn't that too bad for CNN.

Now it's going to be even more apparent which side of the bias coin they're playing.

This must mean that he's moving to another network.
