Not trusted and not that pretty. What’s with $14 mil a year?
Is Katie Couric worth $300K a week (or $14 million a year)?
No clue. But I’m pretty sure CBS knows if she is worth it. They have polls, q-ratings, viewer focus groups – they know what she is worth.
So I’m not going to bitch about what she makes. But I’d certainly ask her to recuse from reporting on other “over paid” executives. Or to note, during a report, that they could only dream of making what she makes.
Not that I’d ever see it. I don’t watch CBS news, or any other broadcast news. Ever.
My own, admittedly uninformed view, is that while anchors used to be “trusted”, now they aren’t. So any pretty blonde will do. Fox News has a bevy of them,make a $500K offer and I’m sure one of them would happily jump ship to read a teleprompter a few blocks over.
