| NYT hits Lou Dobbs for “mixing opinion with untrtuhs”
by Arlen Parsa
Mr. Dobbs and Ms. Romans engaged in a nearly identical [on-air] conversation a few weeks ago, when he was defending himself the night after the “60 Minutes†segment. “Suddenly, in the past three years, America has more than 7,000 cases of leprosy,†she said, again attributing the number to Ms. Cosman.
To sort through all this, I called James L. Krahenbuhl, the director of the National Hansen’s Disease Program, an arm of the federal government. Leprosy in the United States is indeed largely a disease of immigrants who have come from Asia and Latin America. And the official leprosy statistics do show about 7,000 diagnosed cases — but that’s over the last 30 years, not the last three.
The peak year was 1983, when there were 456 cases. After that, reported cases dropped steadily, falling to just 76 in 2000. Last year, there were 137.
Many more of Lou’s lies in the full article.

Harsh but true and justified.
Personally, I believe the media is nothing more than a propaganda machine controlled by Big businesses and government, and that people like Lou Dobbs, the whole cast on puppets on CNN are just that. Puppets put in place to sway your good thinking into a catatonic state of exsistance.
The propaganda going on against Obama and his Pastor is a perfect example! What is wrong with these so called “educated” people in the media? Minister Wright isn’t the only Black Person or American of any color who thinks (rather KNOWS) that America brought on 911. For crying out loud their are BOOKS written on the subject.
America invaded Iraq for one reason. (GREED)
Take your fat head out of the sand Lou Dobbs! Ask your boss if you can report some REAL news. Drop the propaganda!
