Satire: Lou Dobbs leaves CNN and joins Tom, Jerry, Scooby-Doo



Borowitz report:

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - Controversial TV host Lou Dobbs announced today that he was leaving CNN and would soon be joining the primetime lineup of The Cartoon Network.

Mr. Dobbs will be joining a schedule that includes such programs as Tom and Jerry and What's New, Scooby-Doo?

While a press release from The Cartoon Network called Mr. Dobbs' show "a perfect fit," Davis Logsdon, the chairman of the media studies department at the University of Minnesota, took a dimmer view.

"I think the addition of Lou Dobbs will be a tremendous blow to The Cartoon Network's credibility," he said.

In other broadcast news, on Sunday the Fox News Channel reported that an American won the New York marathon and a Kenyan won the U.S. presidency.

Earlier on Sunday, Fox marked Daylight Savings Time by setting its clocks back 400 years.
