Lou Dobbs continues to exert power after having proved a facile apostle, not of conservatism but of know-nothing pre-fascism. Our nation is never entirely exempt from the possibility that know-nothings will achieve political sway.
When FOX turns itself into a laughing-stock because of its excesses, this is less dangerous than a channel like CNN countenancing a Lou Dobbs.
The fault lies clearly and inexorably with CNN.
