"While reporting a forthcoming story, we interviewed cable TV anchor, radio personality\u2014and self-styled leader of America's \"Independent\" movement\u2014Lou Dobbs. We mostly talked about the White House's policy accomplishments (or, from his point of view, lack thereof), but Dobbs also shared his thoughts on the administration's approach to the media\u2014thoughts that, in light of his resignation from CNN tonight, seemed worth digging out of the transcript for a second look.\n\nThere's plenty in here for the tea-leaf reader: Dobbs's thoughts on the Fox-Obama feud (Dobbs has been recently linked with Fox), his sense of being singled out by the White House and its allies, even allegations that the administration was going so far as to put the squeeze on him at CNN. Our interview was conducted a day or so before Dobbs told authorities that his New Jersey home had been shot at\u2014you get the sense from his comments that he already felt very much like a target. \u2014Luke Zaleski\n\nGQ: What do you think about the Administration's War on Fox?\n\n Lou Dobbs: I think it's a mistake, I think it's a very big mistake. To attack a news organization in the silliest of ways, to say it's not a news organization because you don't agree with an editorial position. Unfortunately this has become the modus operandus of this administration. They are trying to attack, delegitimize their critics, to marginalize their critics. To the point where, as Senator Alexander said, they have an enemies list. If this were a Republican administration conducting, comporting itself in this manner, there would be a howling outrage from every quarter of the national media. You know that as well as I do.\n\nGQ: I don't disagree.\n\n LD: They've taken the same approach with me.\n\nGQ: That was my next question. Have you heard from the administration?\n\n LD: Of course I have. Sure. Without question. They are coordinating with a number of groups, including the Center for American Progress. The usual suspects. To carry out constant and absolutely insidious and sordid attacks on me. And the reason they're doing so, I'm the leading independent voice, and I am critical on their policies and intent, on unconditional amnesty, and leaving the borders and ports unsecure. They cannot, they're. . .\n\nGQ: They're afraid of that point of view? They don't think their point of view will carry against...\n\n LD: Apparently not. Otherwise why would you do such a thing? But I will not be intimidated, and I understand that. Therefore they're trying to intimidate my network and my owners."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
