Lou Dobbs's Principles
7 December 2006
The Editor, The New Yorker
To the Editor:
Lou Dobbs believes "unequivocally" that free trade harms ordinary Americans ("Mad as Hell," Dec. 4). So being a courageous man of principle, he’ll no doubt soon inform his bosses at Time-Warner, CNN’s owner, that they contribute to the demise of middle-class America by broadcasting (according to CNN's website) in "Asia Pacific, South Asia, Europe, Middle East, Japan, Africa, Latin America, North America." And when his bosses refuse to stop trading internationally, I await hearing Mr. Dobbs thunder on air that CNN's participation in globalization is yet another instance of shameless corporate greed.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux
