Lou Dobbs is still dominating the Twitter talk today, but a lot of the focus is on who will replace him. Phil Rosenthal was the first to comment today, linking to an article which announces John King as Dobbs' replacement. King will move from his Sunday morning show on CNN, "State of the Union," to Dobbs' time slot, weekdays at 6 p.m.
Phil Elliot links to another article which provides some insight into what type of program King will have. King plans to have a nonpartisan talk show that will welcome all points of view, which is exactly what CNN was looking for in a replacement for the controversial Dobbs.
Rachel Maddow posted a link to the stimulus tracker, which as she says, is a fun way to waste time. This site keeps track of how all the money from the stimulus package is being spent. They have data from every state, and from counties within the states. It was interesting to see how this money is being spent in Michigan, and Oakland County in particular.
Ciara O'Brien continued her video game obsession by posting four video game related articles, including one that updates yesterday's post about Microsoft banning modified Xbox consoles. She added two others on sales of the new game, Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare both in the U.S. and the U.K. She added one more interesting article on how video games are being used to hopefully spark interest in history among video game fans.
Rachel Nichols tweeted about the day's biggest sports news: the firing of the New Orleans Hornets' head coach, Byron Scott. Scott was fired after the NBA team started the season with a 3-6 record. She added a second tweet mentioning that Scott had done a lot of work helping New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina, and that he would be missed.
