CNN is airing a four-hour special on Latinos in America this week that ignores its own commentator Lou Dobbs, whose persistent advocacy against illegal immigration has angered many Hispanics.

• The “Latino in America” documentary airs in two parts Wednesday and Thursday at 9 p.m. EDT, repeated at midnight.

“Lou Dobbs is the gigantic anti-immigration elephant in the room at CNN,” said Roberto Lovato, who is helping to organize the petition drive. “Rather than address him, they decided to just avoid the issue.” – google
