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.
Insiders said O’Donnell’s capitulation came after months of clashes with Neeraj Khemlani, the sharp-elbowed, cost-slashing co-president of CBS News who had been openly looking for a new anchor to replace her during the months before her contract was up in April.

Rush had a crush on her back in the 90’s. But Rush moved on and her ratings been slidin’ ever since.
If they really wanted her to reject the offer, maybe $15/hr would have worked.
Meanwhile Tucker Carlson keeps raking it in.
Chuckle.
she negotiated poorly
CBS Evening News is the “Woke Report”. Nothing but pretense and globalist propaganda.
Hahaha! Never liked her at ALL!
CBS is still on the Air??
Cry me a river!
Still way overpaid.
Does she need some place to stay?
“A big hit for the lifestyle she probably lives.”
Not doubting the truth of your line about $8mil/yr brings certain lifestyle expectations/bills yet I still don’t see her being reduced to bringing her own PB&J sandwich to work for lunch every day.
They wanted to pay her less because of her resting bitch face.
I guess business isn’t so good for them.
We’re not buying what they’re selling.
I especially enjoy that a foreigner (Neeraj Khemlani) is the one to cut her salary in half. She is always pushing for foreigners to replace Americans. Karma is a b!tch.
More foreigners in control.
It’s getting a little old.
If the primary residence is paid off, the vacation homes are paid off, the half dozen family luxury vehicles are paid off, the kids school is funded, 3 million is fine.
still overpaid
At least there is some good news during commie RAT shootings week. If you think all these shootings this week are a just coincidence, you’re a lot dumber than your commie democrat massahs think you are.
Her makeup team should have their salaries withdrawn completely. Those hideous black spots above her eyes look like a circus clown...fitting, I guess.
