Big Lou Leaves CNN

CNN's long time host, Lou Dobbs says good bye to his viewers today. The controversial host leaves the moderate cable networkto seek a more activist role.

"Over the past six months, it has become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving as well as to contribute positively to a better understanding of the great issues of our day and to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible,"

CNN released the anchor from his contract today, so that it will enable him to explore new opportunities. Dobb's is the last of the 29 year old cable network's anchors.

Good Luck Lou!!!!
