You can call Katie Couric the $10 million anchor.

That’s how much Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer is forking over to retain the Web portal’s global news anchor, several sources told The Post on Friday.

The new contract, agreed to in the last several days but not yet finalized, gives Couric a stratospheric annual pay package in line with that of NBC’s suspended Nightly News anchor Brian Williams.Only Couric is actually anchoring a newscast.

The 58-year-old journalist, who had been negotiating a second contract for the past few months, won a significant rise. While the new deal contains a few targets that need to be hit for her to reach the 10-figure pay package, it is a step up from her current deal — valued at $5 million-to-$6 million, according to reports.

Mayer and Couric - LOLZ!

If they face each other and both smile, they’ll vaporize each other with raw malice!

Bwahahahaha!

Y’all don’t get it - she’s a 90‘s reminder for Hillary-bots, yet another Hillary stand-in.

Rats operate by triggering cognitive responses. If Couric is “valuable” and “succeeding” by Mayers’ standards, then Hillary is valuable and succeeding because Couric and Mayers STAND FOR Hillary. So, you vote for Hillary and stand by Hillary because her imitators are succeeding, and Hillary voters are, themselves, Hillary imitators and proud of it.

No joke, that’s what you’re seeing here.

It's nice that a failure gets a big fat pay raise from someone who clearly doesn't work for her shareholders' best interests.
