"Although Lou Dobbs has been saying that his departure from CNN was an “amicable parting on the best of terms,” the New York Post reports that CNN wanted him gone so badly that it gave him an $8 million severance package. Dobbs “had a year and a half to go on his $12 million contract.” He’ll be appearing on Fox News tonight to talk with Bill O’Reilly, who has called the former CNN host a “stand-up guy.”" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

I would have gone as high as $12 million just to get rid of him. - Steven Perez from IM

Next, Fox will pay Dobbs a similar sum to sign a contract. The big nuisance to CNN will become a big man on Fox, just you watch! - Dennis Jernberg
