Fox is hoping to beef up its roster of talent for its up and coming (although currently widely mocked) Fox Business Network.

And who are they hoping to add? None other than CNN's Lou Dobbs. According to The New York Times, citing "two people with direct knowledge of the meeting", Mr. Dobbs met for dinner with Fox News president Roger Ailes.
