Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 12:22pm on Saturday, November 14th, 2009 | Dobbs Departure May Restore Journalistic Integrity, Latino Policy Coalition Says
"In accepting Lou Dobbs' resignation, CNN may finally restore its journalistic integrity," said LPC Chair Jim Gonzalez.
According to the LPC, Dobbs wrongly portrayed immigrants as criminals, job stealers, and disease carriers who unduly burden America's social welfare system.
"The ouster of Lou Dobbs from CNN reaffirms that what we witnessed with Justice Sonia Sotomayor's successful confirmation. Latinos in the U.S. are connecting with their political power and will not support racial profiling or discrimination, but instead, are invested in just treatment for all and sound immigration reform," Gonzalez concluded."

Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 10:43am on Friday, November 13th, 2009 | John King To Take Dobbs's Old Time Slot; CNN Honcho Denies Caving To Pressure From Hispanic Groups Demanding Dobbs Be Dropped
The New York Times reported on November 12, 2009:
"Replacing an anchor known for his outspoken political beliefs with a traditional Washington reporter, CNN on Thursday said a political news program led by John King would be “a statement about the importance of real nonpartisan news to CNN.”
The channel’s middle-of-the-road newscasts, however, have lost market share to the more cacophonous programs on MSNBC and the Fox News Channel.
In interviews Thursday, Jonathan Klein, the president of CNN/U.S., denied that CNN had acquiesced to pressure by Hispanic advocacy groups to drop Lou Dobbs, a fervent opponent of illegal immigration.
Rather, he said, it was Mr. Dobbs’s decision: while the anchor had adapted in recent months to CNN’s mostly opinion-free format, “he came to me a few weeks ago and said he’d decided it wasn’t for him,” Mr. Klein said.

Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 7:21am on Thursday, November 12th, 2009 | Lou Dobbs Leaving CNN, Effective Immediately
The Washington Post reported on November 12, 2009:
"Lou Dobbs, the most opinionated and divisive anchor at a cable network that bills itself as a straight-news oasis, resigned from CNN on Wednesday night, saying in his final broadcast that he wants "to go beyond the role" of a television journalist in tackling the country's problems.
Framing his move as a response to the urging of "some leaders in media, politics and business," Dobbs struck a populist tone, attempting to position himself as a political leader who would mount a campaign "to overcome the lack of true representation in Washington, D.C."
Last month, Dobbs said on air that shots had been fired at his New Jersey home while he and his wife were outside. Dobbs tied the shooting to his immigration stance, saying: "The national liberal media has chosen sides. And they have decided that they're going to focus on the liberal view, which is that they will embrace illegal immigration no matter who is harmed, no matter how many laws are broken, or how few consequences there are for breaking those laws. My wife has now been, and I have been, shot at."

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 11:19pm on Sunday, November 8th, 2009 | On November 5, 2009, CNN debuted the CNN Challenge, an interactive online news trivia quiz. Found at www.CNNChallenge.com, the quiz - focused on both historical news events and the top stories of the week - is guided by various CNN, HLN and CNN International anchors, including Larry King, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Robin Meade and Christiane Amanpour.
New quizzes are published weekly, with quizzes about historical events available each Tuesday and Wednesday, and a new current news quiz available every Thursday.
"The CNN Challenge offers CNN.com's users the ability to expand their knowledge of the news and current events in a fun and engaging way," said KC Estenson, senior vice president and general manager of CNN.com. "At its core, the CNN Challenge is another example of how we are leveraging interactivity and the social nature of the web to create a unique online experience for news enthusiasts across the globe."
The CNN Challenge consists of three rounds of five questions, specific to the who, what, when, where and why of certain news events. In the final stage of the quiz - the Lightning Round - the player's skills are pushed further, allowing only 90 seconds to answer five questions interactively. A player accumulates points based on their response time and the value of the question, which varies by the stage of the quiz.
