If We Care About Black Only Issues-Why Expect Others to have an Empathetic Ear? Dobbs vs. Latino in America (693 hits)
You [Jen Fad] and more than 50,000 others have joined the call for CNN to dump Lou Dobbs! Now it's time to take the next step. In just one week, CNN will launch its “Latino in America” series, which tells the stories of Latinos from across the country. There’s just one thing missing: Lou Dobbs. That’s right. Four hours about the Latino experience in America, and not a word about the man who spends every weeknight telling lies about immigrants and spreading fear and hatred toward Latinos.
Together with award-winning filmmaker Arturo Perez, we're calling out CNN's hypocrisy with a powerful new video: “CNN: Lou Dobbs or Latinos in America?” Please help us grow the campaign by watching the video and sharing it far and wide. The campaign against Lou Dobbs, which you have helped fuel, is clearly getting to him. He’s railed against us on his radio show,1 and rumors are now swirling that he’s looking for other jobs at more conservative networks2. Now is the time to keep the pressure on. Please watch the video, and then share it with your friends and family. We’ve set up a special page to make it easy: http://bastadobbs.com/video/
Thank you and Adelante! Favianna, Roberto, Laurie and the rest of the Presente.Org team
Latinos in America, CNN and Refocusing the Immigration Issue Much has been made of CNN's seemingly conflicted programming on immigration-on one hand is CNN host Lou Dobbs, unofficial Director of Demagoguery who broadcasts misinformed anti-immigrant rhetoric on a nightly basis; and on the other hand is CNN's latest documentary, Latinos in America, a two-part series hosted by Soledad O'Brien which takes a closer look at "how Latinos are changing America and how America is changing Latinos." If CNN's documentary discusses discrimination issues, shouldn't it also discuss the role media plays in propagating discrimination against immigrants?
