Memo to CNN

Can’t you give Lou Dobbs tranquilizers and/or rabies shots to get him out of our faces?

On cable news, almost all anchors have been pushing up ratings with opinionated reporting, but Dobbs is off the charts, and your network keeps encouraging him with "specials” to augment his nightly venting.

Has it escaped your attention that his grousing and smirking have been rabble-rousing over illegal immigrants more than any politician in sight? Have you been paying attention to the nasty tone of viewer e-mails in response to his so-called newscasts?

Does the name “Father Coughlin” sound familiar? Try googling it, and then give some thought to what you’re doing for the sake of ratings.
