He ask the tough questions and apparently CNN doesn't have the guts to stand by him and the Americans that would like for the laws we have to be enforced. I have watched CNN since june 1, 1980 and the reason is because in the past CNN has reported non bias news. Removing Lou Dobbs is sensoring the People who believe the laws that we have are important. Ignoring the laws we don't like leads to comunism. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" I will not watch CNN again until this is made right. In the late 1930's & 40's if we would have had twenty or thirty million Germans infiltrate america EDWARD R. MURROW would have been shouting from the roof top. It seems that today it's politically correct to give our country away. If the courageous men and women that have died could see what is being done to their country they would be sad. If our four fathers had given in to every politically correct thing we would still have taxation without represntation. If all the news men and women at CNN stand still for this every thing you do and say will be of none effect. I DARE YOU TO PUT THIS ON THE CAFFERTY FILE.

My negativity focuses on Nadya herself, and her ability to suck so many people into yet ANOTHER flash news frenzy and tabloid topic discussion of the month. Not only was it legal, possible, and a reality for her to become a single mother to 14 children - she was also able to sensationalize her horrible choices and lack of common sense to the point of having more money in the bank than she could've ever made on payroll in her lifetime. And we eat it up - we love every horrible moment of it. We relish the small victory that it is finally someone other than us making stupid choices and then we cluck our tounges and "shame on her" for all that she has done. Go ahead, be jealous - she may be crazy, she may have 14 kids to take care of and be responsible for...BUT she has the bank statement to prove it - her stupid choices got her rich. And we helped her get that way by applauding her stupidity and buying every magazine that mentions her name. It is a complicated recipe, that much is for sure.
