NEW YORK -- Lou Dobbs, the conservative political pundit and veteran cable TV host who was a founding anchor for CNN and later was a nightly presence on Fox Business Network for more than a decade, has died. He hosted "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on Fox Business from 2011-21, after two separate stints at CNN. After his death was announced Thursday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Dobbs was a friend and a "truly incredible Journalist, Reporter, and Talent." He left CNN in 2009 to help media mogul Rupert Murdoch launch Fox Business. Dobbs' Fox show was titled "Lou Dobbs Tonight," the same as the one he left in 2009 after a few years at CNN.
