According to insiders, CBS News re-signed the 48-year-old anchor in April with a yearly salary of $3.8 million — down from the previous $8 million — following reports that the network had been casting around for a replacement as O’Donnell’s ratings continue to sag.
CBS execs gave O’Donnell a “low ball” offer during the hard-knuckle negotiations, which they “expected O’Donnell to reject,” according to a source briefed on the talks. When she accepted it, some executives appeared surprised, the source added.

who is this ... and why should we care?
The death of broadcast television continues.
For women in broadcast journalism, 48 is not as fresh as 24….or 34
She's one of the chief propaganda readers at one of America's crony, deep-state MSM evening propaganda TV channels.
I guess business isn't so good for them, which is good news for everyone else.
I’ll take the job for half that. Save even more!

Where else could a no talent person land a $3.8M a year job; I mean unless you’re Hunter Biden.
thanks
There are so many propagandists on the other side I don’t bother to keep up with them
jessica turley (fox news), on the other hand, I wish would die a painful death on tv so we can all see it.
> “They expected her to reject”
Where else is she going to be able to make that kind of money?
When one sees what news outlets are on lifesupport and which ones are not, common business sense says change your business plan to something more attractive to viewers.
Yet all the ones gasping for life continue on their death track, thinking things will get better? I don’t get it.
A big hit for the lifestyle she probably lives.
50% cut of my meager earnings would be devastating.
8 mill a year gets nice things and HUGE monthly bills....
Ratings down by half, salary down by half?
$8 million per year champion of the little guy.
$3.8 mil is better than letting the door hitcha.
It’s okay: the CIA will kick in for the other $4 mil.
That commercial where she’s standing in front of Capitol Hill like good little commie makes me wanna puke every time I see it.
They’ll be better off giving auditions to applicants for the anchor job. Pay them $100,000 for the year. Find the next anchorman.
