Lou Dobbs and ratings-challenged CNN (I still miss Soledad O’Brian) have finished second again, as Lou Dobbs is only the runner-up (to Fox’s Bill O’Reilly) on Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World.
One of the few tough questions Lesley Stahl asked in a softball 60 Minutes interview with her new CBS colleague Dobb was about why his CNN show reported 7000 cases of leprosy in the last 3 years, with the implication that immigrants had brought leprosy with them.
Olberman gave Dobbs his “worst person” nod for saying, “If we reported it, it’s a fact.” Apparently, 7000 cases of leprosy have been reported in the past 30 years.
