Hispanic Leaders Call for Censure of CNN Host Lou Dobbs

“The Hispanic Institute, a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., called upon CNN Worldwide President Jim Walton to censure CNN News Anchor Lou Dobbs for what the organization describes as outrageous and incendiary language in his reporting on immigration policy and the debate on that issue in congress.

Gus West, a member of the Board of Directors of The Hispanic Institute said, “We are specifically calling upon the management of CNN to censure Mr. Dobbs because it is obvious CNN is allowing him to sacrifice the notion of objective and balanced reporting for sensationalism and ratings increases. At a time when a balanced and thoughtful debate is required to address the security of our borders, and how we deal with individuals that come to this country seeking a better life, Mr. Dobbs’s inflammatory rhetoric does not contribute to a solution.”"
