When I got the boot, I didn’t have a lawyer to go negotiate a better settlement for me. What was I thinking?
Don Leomon apparently worked there for 17 years and they didn’t even let him go face to face. He really did get the shaft. Shouldn’t he be happy? I’m confused.
If Tucker Carlson is hiring a top lawyer like this, then perhaps that CTH article posted here earlier today — with all its silly, unsourced speculation — had it all wrong. The CTH article claimed that Carlson would be paid out for the remainder of his contract and would have no non-compete restrictions. This sounded preposterous to me.
I thought I read that Carlson was getting about $20 million/year and will get the rest of the money due under his contract.
If Lemon was terminated for cause, he might not get every cent possible.
I read that Shell will get nothing after the tip of the boot.

Money makes for strange bedfellows...
One of my all time favorite radio personalities is the great Lee Rodgers. At times Lee would relate the realities to the radio business. While one had a contract, one could be fired at almost any moment. The reasons for firing could vary widely, from lack of listeners and / or sponsors, to the whims of management and owners. Lee always made sure that he had a contact that stated just how long and how much he would get paid. He related past disputes where he was at home, not retired, but at home for months while someone paid him still, even though they had technically fired him (took him off the air). One of the last times he experienced this, I managed to exchange a few emails. He stated that yes, he still had a contract and “the lawyers are working it out.” I am sure he received what was in the contract.
This is probably what Carlson is doing
Lee Rodgers had the best name for President Clinton. Clinton was never ‘The Man From Hope (Arkansas). He was born in Hot Springs. Rodgers called him: The Hillbilly Whorehopper From Hot Springs.
Don Lemon should pay back the money they already gave the moron.
I heard Tucker was supposed to be getting $20 a year for 3 years. That’s his remaining contract.
Maybe someone will tell him, off the record of course, that if he keeps Carlson it will ruin his record when the judges decline Carlson's cases? Does Freedman really want a high-profile loss on his résumé, they will ask?

This is out of Stelter’s mouth? Forgive my skepticism, but I don’t trust a word out of that greasy pissant’s mouth. I’ll believe it when it’s confirmed by someone I trust.
No matter how ironclad a contract, such as a pre-nup, is, when push comes to shove, there is room to push and shove some more.
Maybe all of Tucker’s “private” emails turned up in the Dominion case discovery, for example, where he vilified President Trump and Tucker’s Fox colleagues, need protection from leakage.
Both of them are looking for a new employer. I read somewhere that Carlson was interested in Time Warner and Lemon was interested in Cox...

Lemondrop was let go nicely for cause. If Lemonygoodness files a lawsuit, CNN could request a demurrer, since it was Lemonheads vocal opinion and not CNN’s policy that led to his firing, after which CNN could file for dismissal.
