And here in New York, dozens of people gathered outside the offices of the news network CNN Wednesday to call for the ouster of anchor Lou Dobbs. Dobbs has been accused of anti-Latino bias in his coverage of immigration issues. The journalist Roberto Lovato addressed the crowd.

Roberto Lovato: “What comes out of Lou Dobbs’ mouth is hatred for Latinos and undocumented immigrants in the United States, his support for the extremists that are actually killing immigrants, like the Federation of Immigration Reform and the Minutemen, whose members in Arizona are responsible for the murder of nine-year-old Brisenia Flores and her father. So, Lou Dobbs is not telling his audience to go out and kill and hurt and attack immigrants, but he provides a platform for those that do.”

The protest was organized by the website
