Lou Dobbs Tonight

Lou Dobbs Tonight is a news program on CNN, anchored by economist and journalist Lou Dobbs, who is also its managing editor. The hour-long show is aired live on evenings every weekday, and repeated later at night. It covers the major news stories of the day with a focus on politics and economics. Field correspondants provide additional reporting and occasionally serve as guest anchors. Notable politicians and economists are often guests on the show, during which they are subjected to Dobbs' notably aggressive questioning.

One regular feature on the show is "Exporting America", in which Dobbs documents the American companies that have outsourced jobs to overseas facilities, as well as those businesses that have taken special steps to keep jobs on U.S. soil. Dobbs has compiled a list of companies that have outsourced that he has posted on the show's website and occasionally repeats on the air. Dobbs frequently criticizes U.S. international trade policy as insufficiently protecting American jobs, advocating in favor of what many consider to be economic protectionism in contrast to free trade.

Another regular feature is "Broken Borders", which highlights what Dobbs considers to be the problems and costs associated with illegal immigration, and the inefficiencies in the U.S. Border Patrol and immigration policies in general.
