CNN's Lou Dobbs Paid $8 Million To Bounce
Posted by Media Outrage on November 16th, 2009
Lou Dobbs announced that he was quitting last week which came as a surprise to many. Well CNN supposedly wanted him gone and they paid him handsomely to make it happen.
Via Businessinsider:
CNN was so sick of Lou Dobbs, it gave him an $8 million severance package to leave, The Post has learned.
“They wanted him out,” according to a source.
Dobbs, who a source said had a year and a half to go on his $12 million contract, shocked viewers last Wednesday by announcing he was quitting.
CNN boss Jonathan Klein and Dobbs, 64, had been publicly feuding over the kind of reporting Dobbs was doing on his show — especially stories about illegal immigration and the anti-Obama “birther” movement, which contends the president was not born in Hawaii and is not an American citizen.
Tonight Dobbs squares off with Fox News firebrand Bill O’Reilly, who snagged the the first on-camera interview with Dobbs since he left CNN.

@ Lio…..I agree with you 100%
I always respected him for reporting the facts, and digging deeper than just the surface….just another attempt to supress the truth.
Don’t believe everything you see on the Tel-Lie-Vision!

An individual impartial style for Cnn inside the Tv show. He has a actually hard immigration law coverage. They managed to graduate for the Harvard Higher education. At this moment he possesses her one Radio Show. He didn’t just like your U . s citizens chief executive.
