Norah O’Donnell in Danger of Losing Anchor Spot at CBS Evening News
The NewYork Post ^ | October 24, 2021 | Alexandra Steingrad

The 47-year-old news anchor — who muscled her way into the evening slot in 2019 as she fled a reportedly strained relationship with co-host Gayle King on “CBS This Morning” — now stands vulnerable to the network’s bean counters as her ratings have stayed stubbornly stuck in third place, according to sources close to the situation.

Insiders likewise pointed to O’Donnell’s hefty pay package that is in the ballpark of $8 million a year and a three-year contract that’s slated to expire next spring.

Maybe Lara Logan is the exception?

Let’s see, find something nice to say, hmmm.

She’s better than Rachel Maddow.

I’m guessing as I’ve never watched Nora, but her photo is easier to look at than Rachel Weird Faces.

I call the newsreaders on ABCCBSNBC the Three Stooges.

fwiw, Ms. O'Donnell is a little easier on the eyes.

Someone who makes $8 Million a year has no business reporting the news.
How can someone making that much have any sympathy for people losing their homes, or jobs, or having medical issues? They put on a fake sad face and report it with a sad tone full of concern. Hypocrites!

shes not a news anchor...another example...Megan Kelly, she just came off as too bitchy, among other things, and people tuned out....just the way it is. Watch the View for 20 minutes...you’ll hear train whistles going off in yer head...its hideous...

This woman agrees on that point.

But the biggest problem for this propagandist is that people are waking up to the lies of the leftist media.

Only Biden & the HO voters.

$8 million a year...for three years...guaranteed? If I had that opportunity I'd live a comfortable life,but nothing more than comfortable,for those years and put whatever’s left over into *conservative* investments. With the $10+ million I had at the end of the contract I'd know that I was set for a very comfortable and secure life.

I am trying to muster up sympathy for a woman who is being paid $8 million dollars a year...

And spews leftist propaganda. (Probably. I’ve never watched her.)

“No matter who they put after [Rush’s] bumper music, it won’t work.”

Amen. I no longer listen. Those two that ‘replaced’ Rush are annoying.

I agree about Hannity, too. I’d rather poke my ear drums with an ice pick than listen to him. Ugh!

Also, you’re correct on the LOCALS getting it right, following Rush’s lead. My local AM Conservative Talk hosts are pretty darn good! And this is Wisconsin, Fer Pete’s Sake! I’d imagine bigger markets have even better ‘local talent.’

Democrats watch evening news. They’re Biden voters. I know some of them.

Our mutual feelings are probably the sentiments of many.

Reading the news on TV has to be the most inefficient delivery mechanism there is. Even if they honestly tried to present the news, there’s so little time that they just can’t say anything substantial. So they just jam in as much rat propaganda as they can in 22 minutes.

CBS, NBC, and ABC all are agenda driven propaganda venues and not worth your time.
