Wednesday's tweets

The one story that has been covered by more than one of the 10 journalists that I chose is the sudden resignation of CNN's Lou Dobbs. Robert MacMillan, Phil Elliot, and Phil Rosenthal all have commented on Dobbs, with Elliot and Rosenthal both referencing this New York Times article.

The article states that Dobbs is resigning immediately after nearly 30 years at CNN. Dobbs announced that Wednesday's show would be his last. Dobbs, whose recently expressed views on immigration have sparked controversy, apparently did not inform some of his staff members of his decision until today. His sudden departure has caused some people to wonder if he is leaving for another network. Dobbs said only that he is considering a number of options and directions, adding that he will let the people know when he decides what his course will be. Video here:



In other news, Jon Heyman has been tweeting all day about what's going on at the baseball general manager meetings. So far today, Heyman has made tweets about the Mariners signing Ken Griffey Jr., the Nationals naming Jim Riggleman as manager, and trade and free agency rumors. Also, Ciara O'Brien posted some interesting articles about Microsoft banning gamers from Xbox Live and plans to design a digital cloud that would float over London.
