I heard about this when it happened. It appeared on several popular blogs. I've never paid a lot of attention to Dobbs, although if you ever watch him at all it's hard to escape the idea that sometimes his thinking can be a bit provincial (look for transcripts of his shows where a major topics was immigration, there've been
lots of such shows).
The only cable news show I watch with fair regularity is Keith Olbermann's
Countdown. I give MSNBC considerable credit for having that show on the air. Olbermann can be silly at times, but he's the only cable news talking head (at least that I'm aware of) who's been brave enough to openly ridicule creationism.
Speaking of MSNBC, they've been devoting more attention to the evo v creo debate than the other networks. There's a whole section of their website devoted to it (I linked to it a couple weeks ago in the 'Favorite Websites' thread).
Here's an interesting article that was added just today. It talks about the struggle some creationist kids go through, since many of them seem to understand the concept of what is and is not science, but who come from families where there is overwhelming pressure to disavow evolution.
