(Shearer released a public statement during the stalemate, proposing a 70-percent pay cut in exchange for some profit participation.)”
How many FReepers would do the shows for $220K an episode? $22K? 11K? Keeping in mind that there are 22 episodes a season.
So Shearer was making $8.8 million a year on less than 10 hours a week of work. No wonder he’s a liberal.
