Dobbs Praises Gravel, Criticizes CNN

ABC’s Jennifer Duck Reports:  Mike Gravel, an underdog in the 2008 Presidential race, appeared on CNN tonight in one of his first television news appearances to discuss being "censored" by CNN and other companies sponsoring a New Hampshire debate in June.

Gravel formally announced his candidacy in April of 2006.

What could’ve been an awkward exchange between CNN anchor Lou Dobbs and "censored" Presidential candidate Gravel ended in Dobbs praising Gravel and questioning his own company, CNN.

Dobbs told Gravel, "I’m pulling for you." Gravel responded saying Dobbs had "a lot of guts to do that on this station [CNN]" since the question of censorship lies within the company that hosts Dobb’s show every night and pays Dobbs a pretty penny for commentating.

“had a lot of guts” ha!
Lou Dobbs is a millionaire many times over.
So he pointed out CNN management advocates censorship.
So what? Everyone knows all successful companies are corrupt.
And who cares about Lou Dobbs anyway, except possibly his family.
“What did you do in the war, daddy?”
“I was a commentator son, and my job was commentating.”
