CNN had long been asking Dobbs to ease off on
Illegal immigration and criticizing Obama.
Nov 2009 - Lou Dobbs walked away from more than $9 million
when he quit CNN, ending a long-running clash that boiled over during a
debate about President Obama's birth certificate. Previously Dobbs was a target of a smear campaign by the left-wing.
Lou Dobbs Home Shot At
Dobbs who will be replaced on the network by veteran Washington political
correspondent John King, abruptly announced his resignation on air and offered no clue about what he planned to do next.
But the beginning of the end really came in July, when CNN President
Jonathan Klein told Dobbs' staff in a memo to drop so-called birther stories
about conspiratorial doubts that Obama was US-born, sources told The Post.
"It seems this story is dead because anyone who still is not convinced
doesn't really have a legitimate beef," read Klein's memo to employees of
"Lou Dobbs Tonight."
Klein's move incensed Dobbs, who wasn't shy about telling off his boss.
"They have been talking pretty regularly since then," a source said. "And
it's been pretty bad."
CNN had also long been asking Dobbs, known for his tough stance on
immigration, to tone down his harsh rhetoric.
Last month, Dobbs' William Morris agent, CNN sources said, bluntly told
Klein: "You're unhappy, he's unhappy. Let him go."
Dobbs told Klein in recent weeks he wanted to go "the opinion route," laying
the final groundwork for his departure.
CNN had been unlikely to renew Dobbs' contract in 2011 anyway, sources said.
CNN is pushing hard to position itself as a middle-of-the-road news source,
between left-leaning MSNBC and conservative Fox News Channel.
"Lou was polluting the CNN brand," said a TV insider.
The departure came at significant personal cost to Dobbs, who still had 1½
years left in his back-loaded, five-year, $35 million contract. Dobbs' final
year would have brought him $9 million.
A Fox News Channel spokeswoman insisted her network wasn't interested in
hiring the veteran.
CNN yesterday named King to take Dobbs' 7 p.m. slot, with a production
starting in January.
Dobbs, on his syndicated radio show yesterday, thanked callers for their
praise. When a caller from New Jersey urged him to run for the US Senate,
Dobbs said: "All right, Josh. I'm taking notes."
