Lou Dobbs was on the Daily Show last night, in an interview that skirted lightly around the reasons for his split with CNN, despite welcoming Dobbs to the set with a Mariachi band (though Jon Stewart did call Dobbs’ views “abhorrent and wrong”). Dobbs said he parted ways with CNN because he didn’t fit with their “middle of the road journalism.” Then they talked about whether Obamacare = Tyranny. And more!

Now that he’s gone rogue, Lou Dobbs is free from his CNN constraints to go on any network he wants.

His first choice was Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, and this morning he was on the Today show set at NBC with Matt Lauer. He didn’t reveal his future plans, but maybe there’ll be a lot of media appearances.

Buried in Brian Stelter‘s story about the battle between Fox News and the Obama Administration is a little nugget: Last month, Lou Dobbs met with Roger Ailes. Fox Business Network, which recently picked up firebrand Don Imus, is reportedly interested in Dobbs, whose controversial anti-immigration, anti-Administration stance has sat awkwardly with the rest of CNN’s programming of late.
