CNN Anchor Lou Dobbs Leaving Network

CNN anchor Lou Dobbs on Wednesday announced he was leaving the news network, telling viewers he was granted an early release from his contract.

Shortly after 7 p.m. EST, the 64-year-old Dobbs addressed his audience, saying, “This will be my last broadcast here on CNN, where I’ve worked for the past 30 years.” The host of Lou Dobbs Tonight suggested that his decision to walk away from the network was brought on by external forces.

“Over the past six months it’s become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us,” Dobbs said.
