And a coalition of media groups is criticizing the Fox Business Network for hiring the former CNN host Lou Dobbs for a new television program. Dobbs has been called the most influential spokesperson for the anti-immigration movement, and his journalistic practices have come under intense criticism. In a statement, the groups Media Matters for America and America’s Voice said, “[Lou Dobbs] spent years pursuing a dangerous crusade against immigrants, and his last few months there were dedicated to pushing ridiculous conspiracy theories about the president’s birth certificate. That style of 'journalism' may be par for the course at Fox, but that doesn’t make it right.”
