National Institute for Latino Policy gets CNN to remove link from Lou Dobbs site

Lou Dobb's CNN page used to have a link to Small Town Defenders, aka the City of Hazleton Legal Defense Fund. From this:

An advocacy group, the National Institute for Latino Policy, protested that Dobbs’ on-air advocacy was expanding to include an endorsement of raising money for an organization. After getting a letter from the group, CNN chief executive Jim Walton agreed to remove the link, CNN spokeswoman Christa Robinson said Friday.

The NILP was formerly affiliated with the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, one of the groups involved in suing... Hazleton.

CNN certainly has a right to add and remove links at will, and since the linked site solicits donations they might have journalistic concerns. On the other hand, they might want to consider having the balls to stand up to racial power groups.
