Here's a clip of Lou Dobbs announcing his resignation on-air Wednesday afternoon.
Longtime CNN anchor Lou Dobbs announced his resignation from the cable news network Wednesday afternoon, effective immediately. Dobbs, who in recent months has become closely aligned with the fringe "birther" movement, a far right-wing group that believes President Obama was not born in the United States and questions the veracity of his birth certificate, seemed to suggest that his departure was not entirely voluntary. "Over the past six months its become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day. And to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible," Dobbs said. In a statement, CNN President Jonathan Klein said Dobbs "has now decided to carry the banner of advocacy journalism elsewhere. Dobbs' contract was set to expire in 2011. Dobbs said Klein agreed to release him from his contract early in order to allow him to "pursue new opportunities."
