Clearly we do not watch the same CNN. Whenever something happens, they have a panel composed of both sides to discuss it.

In my opinion, Lou Dobbs is a pompous, self-righteous blow-hard, that is as far from an Independent as possible.

I have not looked up the ratings, but it doesn't surprise me that FNN has high ratings. I even tune in at times. Much like Jerry Springer. It's like watching a train wreck. FNN is indeed the "gapper's block" of cable news.
