CNN last week took steps to repair its tattered image with the Latino community by running a heart-warming series, Latino in America, that does a reasonable job of exploring the realities of daily life the nation's fastest-growing minority bloc.

But what they really don't want to talk about is Lou Dobbs -- the most Latino-bashing media figure of them all. And it's already biting them in the butt, as the New York Times noted this weekend:

CNN, a unit of Time Warner, has not commented on the protests or covered them on its news programs. One of the activists featured in the documentary said she tried to raise what she called Mr. Dobbs’s “hatred” on one of the channel’s news programs Wednesday, but her remarks were cut from the interview.

... Privately, when some executives are asked about the Dobbs complaints, they sometimes cite the production of “Latino in America,” with the implication being that the channel presents many points of view. The documentary, which drew an average of about 900,000 viewers on Wednesday and Thursday, follows two editions of “Black in America.” It presented Hispanic activists with a new rallying point this fall.

Isabel Garcia, a civil rights lawyer who was featured in “Latino in America” and organized an anti-Dobbs protest in Tucson on Wednesday, said that CNN edited her comments about the anchor out of an interview.

She had expected a 15-minute conversation about immigration opposite Joe Arpaio, the sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., and a staunch supporter in immigration enforcement, on the prime-time program “Anderson Cooper 360.” During the taped interview Wednesday, she said she made several unprompted comments about Mr. Dobbs.

She said she called Mr. Arpaio and Mr. Dobbs “the two most dangerous men to our communities,” and said that “because of them, our communities are being terrorized in a real way.” She also asserted that CNN was “promoting lies and hate about our community” by broadcasting Mr. Dobbs’s program. The comments were not included when the interview was shown Wednesday night.

“They heavily deleted what I did get to say,” she said.

CNN said the segment in question was tied to “Latino in America.”

“As with all pre-taped interviews, they are edited for time and relevance to the topic of discussion,” a spokeswoman said. “The debate between Isabel Garcia and Joe Arpaio was no exception.”

Yeah, right. And Dobbs' birther coverage never promoted any conspiracy theories, either.

Basta Dobbs has been organizing a Dobbs advertising boycott, as well as protests of CNN by Latinos last week to coincide with the broadcast of Latinos in America:

“Our message to CNN is clear: You cannot have it both ways. It’s either promotion of hatred by Lou Dobbs or real news regarding the Latino community,” said Isabel Garcia, a prominent civil and human rights attorney in Arizona who is highlighted in the “Latino in America” series and who is also participating in the BastaDobbs.com effort.

“Lou Dobbs abuses the CNN platform to dehumanize and spread fear about Latinos and immigrants. It is no surprise that hard-working Latinos in this country are increasingly victims of hate-motivated violence,” added Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA). “CNN must be accountable to one of the largest minority groups in the United States if it seeks to gain their following and respect”.

It's becoming evident that CNN has told Dobbs to chill. Unlike any similar time period in the past eight years, Dobbs has done only a handful of segments on immigration in the past couple of months. Of course, when he has discussed it, he can't help referring to comprehensive immigration reform as "amnesty" and fetishizing over the "amnesty question" -- as he did last week:

Dobbs' hatemongering, then they need to send him packing. But since I know that will never happen, I won't hold my breath.

I haven't seen the documentary yet, but I recently finished reading the complimentary book by Soledad O'Brien. She spends a lot of time talking about the Luis Ramirez hate murder, but doesn't discuss the role that hate speech by Lou and others has played in hate crimes against Latinos. She does talk about a former co-worker of hers who said that Latinos export disease and women with mustaches, and how hurtful that was to her personally as a Latina, but she doesn't have the courage to call Lou out for also saying we export disease.

So the whole thing is pretty neutered...

I was at my local watering hole last weekend and you should have heard the lamentations about how "we" are no longer going to be the majority race soon. My tongue still hurts from chewing a hole in it so I wouldn't get kicked out.

long ago, when I was waiting for a bus, some old white bitty was chatting to me about how she misses the way our town and also Los Angeles were before there were so many Latinos, that they steal, etc.

I let it go a little bit, but when I told her my ethnic identity (I am mixed, not everyone realizes I have Mexican ancestry right off the bat), she launched straight into the "oh I didn't mean *all* of you!" routine.

I have a feeling I'm going to be hearing more and more of this stuff.

I have a fee

crap when caught with their racist drawers down.
I have a friend whose Dad is a black man, and her Mom is a white woman. And her maternal gramma is the most vile racist cow. She'd say stuff about black people in America, how they were 'taking over.' When my friend was around for it (which was often, since they lived next door), she's say "Thanks, gramma!" gramma would immediately say, "Oh you know I don't mean you."

that. Your poor friend!

and has at times told her to STFU. She's one of the best bosses I have ever had, because she was always a straight shooter. No dicking around, no game playing. "I want this from you." Same thing with another black woman I had as a boss. Not saying it's the same everywhere, but it's been my personal experience. I've had one white woman who was good at it. But the rest, lots of gaming, lots of lying lots of second guessing on my part, and ended up telling most of them to shove it.
I think it's cultural, myself, and I feel I was very lucky to work for two fine women who knew exactly what they wanted, and weren't going to waste a lot of precious time messing around with games and shit.

I think it's that little voice in her head that tells her she looks awesome-ly hot in black cocktail dresses along with dark roots in her awesome-ly blond hair. It also tells her she can wear a cross on a chain around your neck and that allows her to lie and to kick anyone she wants to right in their sensitive areas.

be a lot of rich white people who like "cheap labor" to exploit.

Sort of a circle jerk really. Bitch about illegals while exploiting them for cheap labor, no workers comp, no responsiblity if anything happens to them on the job. I work on construction projects here in Texas and eastern NM and I would estimate that 75% of the work force is hispanic, but I could not speculate on what percentage is illegal. Hell half the people working for Texas DOT is hispanic, and probably a good portion of them are illegal. But hey, they work for cheap! Capitalism at it's finest.

It seems to me that CNN is trying to keep their racism disguised as news.The very fact that they had to edit remarks made about Dobbs makes one wonder why. Having an open and honest communication is going to make some people absolutely angry or upset. It's ok, it's their right! To take out that information or communication is to keep personal rhetoric for the news channel, not actual news at all. Watch out Fox news, CNN is not to far behind!

But Beck can still out-ugly, Dobbs. Beck is saying tonight that we have raised a "generation of killers". He says spoiled kids are coming out of college and thinking they deserve to have everything they want. He is suggesting they will kill older people to have what they want. I'm not sure how many young converts he will make with that notion. Then somehow he brings Al Gore into this along with the President and democrats. This could be the night he not only jumps the shark but grabs it and eats it too.

Usually all I can manage is about 15 minutes of his monologue, as soon as he brings guests on, I move on. A few times I have watched the whole show just to figure out how he works his bizarre messages into the heads of his fans.

Ya, but Dobbs pretends to be a human being, which is even more sinister. But, yes the words of Beck out-ugly the stuffed suit Dobbs.

Cheney has sent thousands of young people (and children), both Iraqi and American, to their deaths through an illegal war under false pretenses to get what he and his cronies want. But oh, that wouldn't sit too well with Steaming Pile of Dog Mess, would it?

On a tangent here, speaking of cruel, murderous older folks, I caught part of a program called Rescue Ink. A bunch of tattoo aficionados and tough types rescue pets from abuse, and find them homes and such. They were working on the case of this 80 year old man who has been torturing and killing animals, and terrorizing his female neighbors. Everytime the women tried to get an order of protection, he would show up to court in his WWII uniform with a walker to play on the judge's sympathies. But they eventually got the order because the men of Rescue Ink photographed him swing dancing. And, this is so predictable, outside his house he had Confederate flag and a McCain/Palin '08 sign. Go figure.

I wonder if they would come to my house where next door there is a doggie that lives her whole life chained to a clothesline. This is way outside of any city limits, and in a backward state (in some ways), where there isn't even a dog catcher, let alone an SPCA rescue/police force. This dog is the victim of two youngish men, both living on disability, though not really disabled that anyone can see. If it's mental, how come they both have the same disability, hmmm?

Everybody who comes to my house looks straight over to the yard next door and asks me why they have a dog chained up like that, and it makes them furious. But nobody can do anything. When the men first moved in, the dog was a puppy, and they hit her.

Now I have anonymously unloaded a bad thing on unsuspecting strangers. I'll probably delete this in a minute or so, if I don't get spanked by moderator first.

I wish I knew how to help you. That would make me insane and I would probably end up stealing the dog just to help it out. I'm not suggesting that you do that. Hopefully someone will come up with an idea. I really do feel for you.

CNN isn't trying to repair anything, they're simply determined to have their cake (Lou Dobbs) and eat it too (garner the respect of mainstream humanity and progressive democrats as tolerant and good).

Furthermore, it's working. CNN is right up in your face, spit-in-your-eye, propaganda / distraction / corporate-tool oriented, and not one bit ashamed, because they clearly see they don't have to be!

Take Don Lemon. (PLEEZ.) Don Lemon and all his ilk over on CNN is the new bubble-headed bleached blond. He is exactly like a doll on a shelf in its cellophane and cardboard wrapper in a toy store. BLANK. A tool, and shameless.

I saw a Hispanic woman on tee vee give her opinion about the beautiful honor student and cheerleader who was accepted at several Ivy league schools but can't go because, oops, her parents are illegal and so is she, even though she grew up as American as you or I. The hispanic woman being interviewed said, "I have no compassion for that girl. If she wants to be American, she should go back to (wherever)and apply for immigration like anyone else. We don't want her here."

This was NASTY cold. Lots of Hispanics hold this attitude. They're brainwashed, selfish, not very nice to begin with, and happy to be that way.

Simplify things. I know if I was born say in Mexico and discovered I wasn't legally able to do much I'd be pissed off at my parents for never having mentioned it!

Me too, when I saw this, I empathized drastically with the conflict the young girl must be having in her heart. Most people love their parents, find it easy to get mad at them over the small stuff, but are blindly protective toward them about the big stuff.

CNN is dead last in cable news ratings. Surprisingly, Dobbs is getting heat from FOX (Geraldo, and Stossel) and not at all surprisingly from the left. His only audience is the bitter-bagger, angry-white-man contingent and I'm not sure that is one that CNN wants.

And I live in New Mexico. I want America to resist the cultural shift to Latin America. I love the food, the music and the people.

But I do NOT want to be absorbed by another culture. Euro and African Americans are being robbed of our country. Not unlike what is happening to Palestinians.

I don't want to see cultures being destroyed by migration of overlapping cultures.

Well....I think if we don't meddle and try to fix other people country that they could do just fine on their own. We created NAFTA and also created economic refuges in Mexico. We try fixing Iraq, and several African country. The last time that I know of that we fix a foreign nation successfully was Germany and Japan, and that was a liberal minded solution to the problem that called for the heavy use of political means and not a military one.

It is a well known fact that non-citizen in this country have a better track record of civility than our own citizen regarding to breaking the law. Lou Dobbs distorted the fact disgustedly by large number stating that illegal Hispanic make up a third of the prison population, when it is a fact that all aliens, including legal aliens(comprise of many nation beside Mexicans) make up only 6% of the population.

Lou must have gotten his information from "some other guy on the street"!

CNN is now in last place among cable news networks. I have to wonder, therefore, just how many Hispanics even watch it. The damage has been done, but not politically, because that will depend on how the Dems actually work with this issue. And boy, is there a lot of wingnutery to work with in respect to Hispanics.

I could not care less whether or not CNN continues to employee Lou Dobbs. I quit watching CNN more than one year ago because, in my opinion, CNN employing the likes of Dobbs indicates a significant lack of integrity on their part. What purportedly is television "News" is little more than a noisy circus and actually less informative.

CNN is a circus of useless "journalists". From John King, Howard Kurtz, Wolf Blitzer, Dobbs, etc. and heavily rethug biased panels, corporate slant, fear mongering on wars, disease, crime anything that will get them their damn paranoid eyeballs. Cnn is trash as is most corporate media except Maddow and KO, but if they get too successful I can see them going to the dark side as well. Internet media is where it's at, don't even waste time with corporate media aka msm, cable "news", it is trash and poisons those who watch it.


Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity. Albert Einstein

CNN showed a spark of integrity during the run up to the election but it did not materialize. The have slumped back into old habits. I have canceled CNN for now and wait to see which way they go - news or opinion from corporate propagandists?

Latino's must make their voices heard. They must call, write, as well as boycott sponsors of not only the Lou Dobbs show; but of as many if not all CNN advertisers. This insult of a station feels Latinos are dumb enough to be placated by a gesture masking as one of many points of views. The inability for CNN to distinguish the error of Mr. Dobbs methods and rants must be clarified by the millions of Latino's in this country, American citizens or otherwise. Spread the word, spread the information, education and make your fellow Latino's and non Latino's that understand the harm CNN is causing. Understand this, Lou Dobbs is an idiot; but, CNN is the corporation that condones his remarks. CNN is ridiculing the Latin community. CNN is degrading and disrespectful of and to the Latin community. CNN ultimately is the where the buck should literally stop. All those millions of us that protested on the immigration marches a few years back, lets flex that muscle again. If each one of you writes a letter and get someone else to make a call, or email and the word is passed on that Latinos will not purchase from advertiser on CNN. They will hear. Lets let them here our Grito.

Dobbs argues that we have lost our country to a foreign nation. He's right.

I've never heard a hateful remark from Dobbs, but for his urgent message that the more Latinos we allow, the more Latinos will come.

Do we want to live in Latin America? Most European or African Americans say NO.

Where is the hate? Every culture has the right to protect itself, and it's customs.

As it is now... there are enough Latinos in America to shift the electoral power away from traditional European and African ethnicities toward the total absorption of our country by Latin America.

I haven't heard Dobbs calling for physical attacks on anyone Latino or otherwise and he is against all illegal immigrants, Aliens, no matter what their ancestry or national origin. It's defined in many people's minds as hating Hispanics only because they are the largest group in the US and doing most of the complaining.

I'd stand against Lou if he ever pulled a Glenn Beck performance calling for an over throw of the government or marches through Hispanic neighborhoods!

Amnesty called for by LARAZA would never happen if it were voluntary because too many illegals also use false papers, Social Security Cards and other illegal means to work in the US.

Hispanic Groups claims of people working who haven't violated any other laws except Immigration getting legalized would enlist very few of the 12-20 million Illegal "aliens" qualified to remain in the country. That system would never be practical; although it makes for good propaganda.

Dobbs said he believes that Obama is a citizen but he should show his papers to clear the matter up . See it on ( Youtube.com ). That's a FACT . I hope he comes to Fox . I won't be changing my channel to CNN any more . They could get rid of Geraldo or Shep Smith or both on Fox. All CNN had was Dobbs now they don't have him . Look up the numbers on how much the illegals are costing this country . Read the papers on the boarder . Lou Dobbs is telling it like it is. Best of luck to Lou no matter what he decides to do.
