When I asked Google to search for ‘Lou Dobbs and Steigerwald’ to see if it could find a Q&A I did in the mid 2000s with the now-dead former Fox Business/Cable star, this is what I got:
“AI Overview” (from Google):
“Lou Dobbs, the veteran cable news journalist and conservative commentator, and Bill Steigerwald, a veteran journalist and author, are connected through the history of the Civil Rights movement. Steigerwald is the author of the 2017 nonfiction book titled “30 Days a Black Man”, which details a historic 1948 undercover journalistic mission into the Jim Crow South.
“The subject of Steigerwald’s book, Pulitzer Prize-winning Pittsburgh journalist Ray Sprigle, successfully lived as a Black man for 30 days to expose the realities of American apartheid.
“The critical guide and driver who escorted Sprigle through the South’s parallel Black society was John Wesley Dobbs, who was Lou Dobbs’ grandfather.
“While Steigerwald has worked as a longtime journalist and author in the Pittsburgh and West Virginia regions, his historical research on this 1948 undercover assignment shed significant light on Lou Dobbs’ grandfather’s role in one of the most vital journalistic exposés of the pre-Civil Rights era.”
Both were Republicans, but I can’t see the resemblance.
