Paul Rosen, Lane's attorney, told us yesterday he was unaware of Stern's remarks, but "they are my sentiments exactly.""If they did the right thing that any quality employer should do, they would apologize to her for the harm caused by their employee and her co-anchor, and offer her the job Larry took away from her," Rosen continued by e-mail.
Rosen said that if Lane went back on air, "the old ratings she garnered will be back and her reputation can begin its comeback. It is a win-win for the station and Alycia, and puts the emphasis on the real criminal in this macabre story of Larry's jealous criminal obsession to destroy Alycia."
Mendte's attorney Michael A. Schwartz declined comment, and a CBS 3 spokeswoman declined to address Stern's remarks on Lane.
Dan, when will you address your role in this scandal? you clearly knew you were receiving emails and information that was received illegally. that is illegal and against every journalistic code, even for a gossip columnist.— rabbit23- Hire Lane for the Phils broadcast and can Wheels— mick314
- I agree with rabbit23, Dan. Time for you to publicly own your part in this whole sloppy mess. Also, Alicia deserves an enormous apology from you as well as Mendte!— america

- Dan if you weren't receiving the info from Mendte, why weren't you? And if someone else was receiving them, wouldn't it be your job as a gossip colunmist to break the story as to who this person is? C'mon, if it isn't you, the list isn't very long...like ONE other person. MY GUESS IS THAT BOTH OF YOU WERE RECEIVING THE INFO. Just come clean brother...you will sleep better.— phillybob
- CBS 3 Is missing an opportunity of a life time, put Alycia back on the air and their ratings will go sky high !!! Plus it's the right thing to do. "Opportuities only last for moments"— Delaware Doc
- Do the right thing Dan. Man up, bro.— america
- Dan, I'm surprised you're still writing about this subject. Haven't your lawyers advised you and your newspaper about your potential liability here? Don't you think you bear some responsibility as Mendte's witting or unwitting shill (either way, you don't look good)?— larryork
- Excuse me, but didn't she get fired for hitting a cop? I think so. It doesn't matter if you do the community service and your record is expunged, you still hit a cop.— PhillyChitChat
- I'm so glad that Howard Stern is around to guide me through the conundrum of what to do with Alycia. I'm sure he has no axe to grind with CBS or any other broadcasting entity that fires people for their behavior. Maybe he should stick to fart and boob jokes. I will not question his expertise there. Full disclosure: I *heart* fart * boob jokes.— Patrick M
- The fact remains that she did hit a policewoman and made obscene remarks about the cop. It's why she was fired! That has NOTHING to do with the Larry Mendte e-mail snooping!— Pete H

- Alicia may or may not have hit a cop. The charges were dropped against her regarding that allegation. So essentially, it's JUST an allegation and nothing more. If you recall in CBS 3's statement after her dismissal, they stated that Alicia had 'become' the news herself, as a reason for firing her. Well, the reason she was all over the news was in large part to Mendte leaking everything he found in her emails! Sorry, I'm NOT an Alicia fan at all, but right is right. Mendte's actions played an ENOURMOUS part in her firing. She has to own her poor behavior (the cop situation, whatever truly happened that night & being audacious enough to send bikini pix to a married man) but Mendte is a down-right sicko!— america
