Lou Dobbs, the outspoken TV news star who quit CNN last year to join Fox, is finally getting his own show on the Fox Business Network. His show will be called Lou Dobbs Tonight and kicks off in less than two weeks.[See a slide show of the 10 Best Cities to Find a Job.]

Kevin Magee, executive vice president of the network, said that the show will appear weeknights at 7 p.m. beginning Monday March 14th and will feature stories about the news of the day and how they impact the economy. Dobbs will be up against CNBC's

The Kudlow Report.

The network said he will also feature a regular "Lou Dobbs Moneyline" segment to point out financial trends.

His new show comes as the network is picking up steam in its bid to take on CNBC as cable's voice of business news. Dobbs also brings his political commentary to the table that brought him fame at CNN. When he quit CNN there was some speculation that he wanted to become a policy advocate, possibly on the issue of immigration, or even run for president.

Here's what Fox just sent us:

Why do we calling Social Security and Entitlement. We have all paid into this every since we have worked. That was to be money put aside for older people to draw on once they retired. Only reason it is not there is the Government under Johnson decided to they wanted to spend more, so they took from this account and put into general fund, so they could have more pet pork projects. This is insane for the media to allow the government to keep calling this an entitlement. That would be like going into my bank account and claiming it. Wake up and start making a point of this and wake up the people that have forgotten this or would rather we the people would forget about. Please acknowledge this sone how some way

apparently once again no one has the audacity to actually take me up on my offer, i have recived no responses what so ever but then again im assuming that most of you are on perscription or illegal drugs, i issue the challange one more time, that you step up to the plate that all employees are drug tested and the results put on air . we all know this will not happen because your personal involvement with the FOX and all news networks i would bet my HARDWORKING money that because union rules you would never reveal the results of ANY drug test to begin with and personally i would just like to see the major commentators and reporters i.e. Rush Limbaugh and people in that particular status would defugle drug test results every 90 days ( on and off air ) but im assuming you cowards will not do it, and would flunk it anyway . a response would be amazing and amusing abecause it will never happen simply because you do not have the integrity needed for such a task and would be downright impossible for people like you .

when is the last time anyone of u took a drug test i would bet money 50 percent of you would flunk that test . im sick and tired of the comments that are being made on the t.v. and i would bet you money that half the employees of FOX Washington DC would flunk that test, legal or illegal . your right, perscitption drugs have gotten out of hand, the people that need them really need them, but at the same time, probably 50 percent of your empoloyees would not pass ANY drug test, ever . and if anyone has the balls to respond to this, let me know . and if you have the guts to put this on your show, it would be absolutely AMAZING because you are all too hypocritical to step up to the plate yourselves . i would be amazed if this was put on the air, your all a bunch of cowards ! if you ever respond to this, maybe your not cowards .
