For a while now, the rumor mill has said Lou Dobbs would be headed to Fox if he ever left his longtime home at CNN. Dobbs hasn’t given any hints of where he’s headed in the day after he signed off his CNN show for the last time, but in an interview he conducted several weeks ago, he was already sounding like a Fox News personality.
Speaking with GQ in October, Dobbs said he had been personally targeted by the Obama administration and its allies in Washington and even suggested that the White House had requested his ouster. From the interview:
GQ: That was my next question. Have you heard from the administration?
[Lou Dobbs]: Of course I have. Sure. Without question. They are coordinating with a number of groups, including the Center for American Progress. The usual suspects. To carry out constant and absolutely insidious and sordid attacks on me. And the reason they’re doing so, I’m the leading independent voice, and I am critical on their policies and intent, on unconditional amnesty, and leaving the borders and ports unsecure. They cannot, they’re. . .GQ: They’re afraid of that point of view? They don’t think their point of view will carry against…
LD: Apparently not. Otherwise why would you do such a thing? But I will not be intimidated, and I understand that. Therefore they’re trying to intimidate my network and my owners.
