Dobbs left CNN in 2000, reportedly due to heated clashes with then-president Rick Kaplan, one of which actually occurred on-air when Kaplan wanted to cut from Moneyline to a live address by then-President Bill Clinton at Columbine, which Dobbs believed was a staged event and not newsworthy. http://secure.mediaresearch.org/news/cyberalert/1999/cyb19990609.html#3 Dobbs returned the following year at the behest of CNN founder Ted Turner, becoming host and managing editor of the new, more general news program Lou Dobbs Moneyline, later renamed Lou Dobbs Tonight. Dobbs also hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, The Lou Dobbs Financial Report, and is a regular columnist in Money magazine, U.S. News & World Report, and the New York Daily News.
