CNN Rejects Anti-Dobbs Advertisement

The pressure for CNN to put Lou Dobbs to pasture and/or put an end to his hateful rhetoric continues to mount. The folks over at Media Matters and America’s Voice recently submitted an ad request to CNN after collecting both support and money as part of a anti-hate campaign they’ve dubbed www.DropDobbs.com. Drop Dobbs is one of many campaigns aimed at stopping the hate rhetoric from someone whom many consider to be the mouthpiece of hate towards immigrants and Latinos, Lou Dobbs.
It’s no surprise that CNN has decided to reject the ad which would have aired during their “Latinos in America” special that will air next week. America’s Voice looks to place the ad on a competitors network during the same time block.
Even though all of the campaigns against Dobbs have varying objectives, we all agree the hate has to stop.
Here is the ad they do not want us to see:
