Fox 'Keen On' Lou Dobbs

An interesting tidbit from The New York Times article about the Obama administration’s escalating war with Fox News: Fox Business is courting CNN firebrand Lou Dobbs, who had lunch with Fox’s chairman, Roger Ailes, last month. Should he jump ship, Dobbs might find himself square in the Obama administration’s sights, like the rest of Fox. “We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, of the network. “As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.” Fox’s ratings are at an all-time high.
