LIBERAL WEEKEND CNN political commentator Lou Dobbs has died. He was 78 years old. Donald Trump told everyone on Thursday that Dobbs had died, just hours before he was supposed to give his acceptance speech on the last night of the Republican National Convention.
“Lou Dobbs, the Great, has died,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “A friend, and a truly amazing reporter, journalist, and artist.” He knew more than most about the world and what was “happening.” Lou was unusual in many ways, and he loved his country. We’re sorry for his family and his wonderful wife, Debi. He will be missed a lot. A cause of death was not given right away.Once upon a time, Dobbs worked as a reporter for the local radio station KBLU in Arizona, covering police and fire cases. In the middle of the 1970s, he switched to working in television and joined NBC’s King-TV in Seattle. Furthermore, Dobbs was one of the first reporters at CNN when Ted Turner started the network in 1980. He became its chief economics correspondent and the host of the Moneyline business news show.
When he worked at CNN, Dobbs spread the controversial idea that Barack Obama, who was running for president at the time, was not born in the United States. In 2009, Dobbs quit CNN because of problems with the network’s management over his coverage of illegal immigrants and controversial stories he wrote about them. Later that year, he joined Fox Business and was given his own late-night show, Lou Dobbs Tonight. Fox, on the other hand, ended his time there in 2021 when they cancelled his show. Fox News Media said in a statement to The U.S. Sun that they were sorry for Dobbs’ family’s loss..
“We are very sad about Lou Dobbs’s death.” “A brilliant businessman with a natural talent for broadcasting,” the network said. Lou was one of the first people to make cable news a successful and important business. “We are immensely grateful for his many contributions and send our heartfelt condolences to his family.” His wife, Debi, and six children will miss him.
