No matter where you stand on immigration, it is amazing that CNN let Lou Dobbs interview and berate a guest whose report happens to criticize his positions.(see also second part here)
CNN, in my opinion, should have had someone independent like Larry King bring the two together and moderate the conversation. And CNN should do an internal investigation whether the report has any merits, and if it does, counsel Lou accordingly.
2 decades ago when General Westmoreland sued CBS for a Mike Wallace 60 minutes segment, CBS did an internal review led by Bud Benjamin and then apologized to the General. And that was for one particular show. Lou Dobbs does it almost every night.
The country needs strong voices like Mike Wallace and Lou Dobbs. But they also need checks and balances.
Somehow, I suspect no one will stand up for illegal immigrants like they did for the General.
