Immigrants’ advocates and the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters are so angry that CNN plans to run a four-hour special called “Latinos in America” next week without mentioning the role of CNN anchor Lou Dobbs in fomenting hatred of Latinos that they raised $16,000 to create and run an ad during the show calling on CNN to drop Dobbs from the network.
Too bad CNN just rejected the ad.
The immigrant advocacy group America’s Voice last week harshly criticized CNN for not mentioning that Dobbs is “one of the biggest menaces facing Latinos in America” because of his relentless focus on illegal immigration, largely from Latin America, as the source of many of America’s ills.
In response, it created this TV ad, with Media Matters, under the headline “CNN: Drop the Hate, Drop Dobbs,” that ends with a plea to viewers to sign the “Drop Dobbs” petition that’s been circulating online and on Twitter and Facebook.
Yesterday, the groups submitted the ad to CNN, asking the network to run it during the “Latinos in America” shows.
Not surprisingly, CNN today rejected the ad. The groups still hope to run the ad during the “Latinos” show on another network, if it can find a willing host.

Apparently CNN isn't interested in promulgating lies and exaggerations.

Oh, they're perfectly happy to promulgate lies, half truths and what have you (See Stewart, Jon, on The Daily Show). But not for a measly $16K. And, *definitely not* from the left; from the left, they won't even “promulgate” a different point of view.

[...] CNN has refused to an air an ad paid for by immigrant advocates and Media Matters during its presentation of its special, “Latinos in America,” which slams CNN’s Lou Dobbs’ anti-immigrant coverage. [...]

Lou is married to a Hispanic and is just worried about our country so willingly supporting people from other countries.
And their country would NOT support us! Have you looked into our rights in Mexico and other countries if we had sneaked in?

CNN has been trashing Latinos at the same time they try to cash in on them. Time to turn them off!

Thank-you Lou Dobbs! The illegal immigrates issue is injustice to all legal immigrates! Employers of illegal Immigrates need to serve jail time for exploiting immigrates and the American legal workers. Mandate 287g program for all jails and E-verify for all employees. Thank-you!
