$300,000 a week; $14,000,000 a year.

I’ve been wondering all along about how this goes down w/ fired seeBS’ers.

Can’t C-BS “news” save some money by playing re-runs of the news??

It’s all the same BS anyhow.

I had forgotten she made more than Dan Rather at his peak. Stunning that these people are paid such salaries just to read the news, while millions of talented, dedicated Americans are losing jobs and hope every week.

Wish I could get her “reduced” pay - pretty good for reading a script and adding asinine comments.

I’m sure she has a tidy amount in savings and therefore she’ll be fine! My preference to a paycut is the “screen door on the ass”...but I’m happy to start anywhere!

Whoever decided to pay Couric that amount... should be fired too.... Obviously they do not know what the hell they are doing, and in over their head.

Ah. So Couric will finally see her lifelong dream of "Equal pay for equal work" realized.

I wonder if the “NAGs” (NAtional organization of Gals, as Rush calls them) will be outraged that the female anchor is the one being told to take such a big pay cut.

I guess Katie cannot buy herself a new Volvo every year anymore like Cokie Roberts.

Amen! How did the news media ever get in such a situation? Perhaps when they quit being reporters and became activists? And it’s working out so well for them, I am encouraged!

Her pay should reflect her ratings.
