On September 15 and 16, Dobbs is scheduled to broadcast his radio
show from Capitol Hill as a leading voice of
the annual "Hold Their Feet to the Fire" legislative advocacy
conference and rally sponsored by the rabidly anti-immigrant
organization
Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
Founded by a man with a history of espousing racist beliefs and who remains on its board, FAIR is labeled as a "hate
group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Dobbs' participation -- and, through him, CNN's --
will bestow mainstream legitimacy on the rally and on FAIR, something FAIR recognizes and is bragging about to its members.
As Media Matters has highlighted repeatedly, Dobbs represents an ongoing
threat to CNN's credibility as a serious news organization, in no small part
because of his one-sided and error-prone coverage of immigration issues and his
continued use of his CNN show to lend prominence to hatemongering groups like
FAIR. Dobbs must not be allowed to participate
in this event. Email CNN and ask them to stop Dobbs.
