NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - Controversial TV host and right-wing commentator Lou Dobbs announced today that he is leaving CNN to join the primetime lineup of The Cartoon Network.
Mr. Dobbs will join a schedule that includes such programs as Tom and Jerry, and What's New, Scooby-Doo?
While a press release from The Cartoon Network calls Mr. Dobbs' show "a perfect fit," Davis Logsdon, chair of the media studies department at the University of Minnesota, takes a dimmer view.
"I think the addition of Lou Dobbs will be a tremendous blow to The Cartoon Network's credibility," he says.
In other broadcast news, on Sunday Fox News reported that an American won the New York marathon and a Kenyan won the U.S. presidency. Earlier on Sunday, Fox marked the end of Daylight Savings Time by setting its clocks back 400 years.
