Although he did talk over them a lot, he also raised important points about the hypocrisy of dn and the so called "independent" media. As Goodman and gonzales were playing gotcha journalism, dobbs ran them over, if you can't see that your not being honest. Based on the content of what they said he made them look foolish. He made great points about the show DN, which is that they are simply idealogues skewing a story to fit their position. They are almost no better than bill o'reilly. However, the fact that they are ideologues isn't a problem, but the fact that amy goodman insists on going on and on about problems with the "mainstream media" is. She's being hypocritical because her journalism is no better, in fact it could be worse since linktv makes its money from liberals, she has far more incentive to be biased than say, ABC news getting money from state farm. I could go on about that, but he also mentioned another liberal problem, which is the fact that liberals tend to be very condescending and believe that as a general rule people are stupid and have no sense. I wasn't a lou dobbs fan before this (i'm sure you won't believe that), but this episode was really entertaining and i might start watching his show, although i still believe building a fence is a waste. Finally, i'd just like to point out from an unbiased point of view, it was goodman and gonzales who looked defensive.
