Yes, very cool.
O'Reilly isn't worth the millions he's paid. Not even close.
Pay is based on ratings and O'Reily has the ratings.
RAdio and TV are all the same. The advertising is sold at x dollars per 1,000 viewers or listeners.. The value of x is based on the age and income of the audience.
If you don't hold the audience you are fired. O'Reilly has the largest audience on FOX. He will be paid millions as long as his audience stays large. If it falls he will be fired.
That is the name of the game. And the way it works.
Really? Have you done an analysis of his salary as a percentage of the cost of producing the show and compared it to the revenues generated during his time slot?
What kind of conservative doesn't believe a person is worth what the market will bear?
