CNN is losing viewers, because the majority of Americans do not uphold with the far-left agenda of Ted Turner. Mr.
Dobbs was being threatened by minority group organizations because of his views on illegal aliens. Unless, Americans
do something soon, we will all be in extreme danger. People of the far-left are dangerous, because these people do not
represent freedom of speech. These people do not even know what freedom is, because they have all been brought up in
dictatorial societies. Once in the U.S., these people use the naive youth population of our nation to serve as pawns
to further their own cause.
The text of Mr. Dobbs’ announcement about leaving CNN:
This will be my last broadcast here on CNN, where I’ve worked for most of the past 30 years, and where I have many
friends and colleagues whom I admire deeply and respect greatly.
I’m the last of the original anchors here on CNN and I’m proud to have had the privilege to helping to build
the world’s first news network.
I’m grateful for the many opportunities that CNN has given me over these many years. I’ve tried to reciprocate
with a full measure of my ability and my energy.
Over the past six months it’s become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country
and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at
CNN and to engage in constructive problem solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues
of our day. And to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible.
I’ve talked extensively with Jonathan Klein — Jon’s the president of CNN — and as a result of those
talks, Jon and i have agreed to a release from my contract that will enable me to pursue new opportunities.
At this point, I’m considering a number of options and directions, and I assure you, I will let you know when I set
my course. I truly believe that the major issues of our time include the growth of our middle class, the creation of more
jobs, health care, immigration policy, the environment, climate change, and our military involvement, of course, in Afghanistan
and Iraq.
But each of those issues is, in my opinion, informed by our capacity to demonstrate strong resilience of our now weakened
capitalist economy and demonstrate the political will to overcome the lack of true representation in Washington, D.C.
I believe these to be profoundly, critically important issues, and I will continue to strive to deal honestly and straightforwardly
with those issues in the future.
Unfortunately, these issues are now defined in the public arena by partisanship and ideology rather than by rigorous, empirical
thought and forthright analysis and discussion. I’ll be working diligently to change that as best i can. And as for
the important work of restoring inspiration to our great free society and our market economy, I will strive as well to be
a leader in that national conversation.
It’s been my great honor to work with each and every person at this wonderful network. I will be eternally grateful
to CNN, to Ted Turner, and to all of my colleagues and friends, and of course to you at home. I thank you, and may God bless
you.
