Michael Savage Sues Talk Radio Network Over 'Indentured Servitude'

[RamboLiberal]

Conservative talk radio host Michael Savage is trying to dump Talk Radio Network, but claims in a federal lawsuit that the radio syndicate is not taking to the split nicely, threatening him with a $4 million lawsuit for breaking his contract. Meanwhile, Talk Radio Network is claiming The Michael Savage Show isn't going anywhere.

Savage -- who once suggested that the hunger-striking DREAM Act students starve to death -- has waged war against TRN with typical Savage flair. In the lawsuit filed in federal court in San Francisco Monday, Savage alleges that TRN is trying to force him into accepting a contract that forces him into "indentured servitude."

Those are some fighting words for 2010, but that's what Savage does. Otherwise TRN wouldn't want him so bad.

According to the lawsuit, TRN's syndication of The Michael Savage Show expires at the end of this month. The suit states that Savage has gotten a better offer from Courtside, LLC, for syndication through Westwood One radio network for 2011 and 2012. The offer included promotion of Savage's show through Westwood's broadcast fare such as NFL football, NCAA basketball, CNN News, NBC News, and CBS News. Also Savage's show would be overseen by Norman Pattiz -- a member of the University of California Board of Regents and radio industry giant -- who, the suit claims, could get "prominent guests on Dr. Savage's show from such fields as politics and science..."

1. People buy out their contracts all the time, Michael.. Just pay them the money

and then move on to your next gig..

A contract is just that... If they fired him, he would expect them to buy out his remaining contract..

2. Savage is so much slime

He is worse then Beck, Limbaugh and nearly every other right wing radio host. He is homophobic and definitely bigoted. He is so bad, that Fox News wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole.

4. BWWWAAAAHAHAHA!

I love it. Hopefully he sues himself out of a job.

5. Hard to believe there's a contract battle over this weiner

Can't imagine one company wanting to pay him, let alone two fighting over him.

He is such a crybaby... I bet he'll start poormouthing and begging his listeners to contribute to his legal defense fund, to ensure he'll get his millions for spreading his hate and ignorance.
