Anyone see this take place? >>Dobbs' on-air blast at CNN chief THE rivalry between CNN president Rick Kaplan and CNN.fn boss and "Moneyline" host Lou Dobbs reached critical mass last week, when Dobbs challenged Kaplan's news savvy on the air during his top-rated business show. The brouhaha erupted last Thursday, when a Dobbs producer was ordered by Kaplan to cut away from "Moneyline" for live coverage of President Clinton's address at Columbine HS in Littleton, Co. Dobbs, who didn't consider the staged event breaking news, "was absolutely livid," says an insider. So livid, in fact, he ordered his producer to cut back to "Moneyline." Kaplan - a Clinton golf buddy - immediately countered with an order to go back to Colorado. The tug-of-war ended with a visibly peeved Dobbs telling his audience they were returning to Columbine because "CNN president Rick Kaplan wants us to." Dobbs'comments were edited out of CNN's transcript of the show. "It was a real blowout," a source told PAGE SIX. "There was mayhem in the studio with all the back and forth." The struggle continued Friday, when the still-steamed Kaplan fired off a memo stating that, between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. - the 'Moneyline" time slot - Atlanta headquarters will have "the final call." "Kaplan made it clear that he's still calling the shots," said our source. Dobbs, who is not a fan of the Clinton Administration, is often at odds with Kaplan's fawning, kid-gloved treatment of the White House. <<
