The thing is, the even though Lou Dobbs had their highest rating show, it was a money loser, because the good big paying advertisers wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole because of the insane shit he spewed on a regular basis. So all they get are pillow and gold sellers who don't pay that good. So Fox finally had a way of letting ole Lou go. See I force myself to watch Fox, if you flip between CNN, MSNBC, and Fox, you will see that they have about 50% more ads. It's not because everyone wants to advertise their products on Fox, its because they don't get the same top shelf advertisers that the other networks get.
