Lou Dobbs Fox News

Lou Dobbs is heading to Fox News. Dobbs who had announced his resignation from CNN last Wednesday will sit down with Fox News Bill O’Reilly, not to join Fox News or Fox Business but to talk about his exit from CNN. It was Bill O’Reilly who defended Dobbs last July, back when Dobbs was criticized for featuring “birthers” on his show, asserting that the CNN anchor had the right to free speech. Dobbs' interview with Bill O'Reilly will air on Monday night.
