Nothing on the interwebs other than something to the tune of a 52% salary decrease. Not that I really care a lot about drama queen fake blue eyes feeding the evening propaganda but, sure seems odd.
She's another in a LONG line of democratic operatives with a press pass. A total hack.
I watched Andrea Mitchell yesterday on MSNBC and I would add her to the list. How she’s able to look at herself in the mirror after the poor job she does as a journalist is beyond me.

Agree. It's so depressing to see the American press this corrupted. It's detrimental to the future of the nation.
Here's the thing about being "talent" on television (or for that matter any other mass media outlet). If you're not making any money for your employer (in the case of television, drawing a sizable viewership that translates to ratings that translates to to ability to charge a higher rate to advertisers) you're probably going to be let go or at least get sent to the sidelines. Ratings are the ONLY thing that counts.
What seems clear is her ratings didn't support her salary and her position as the lead of the company's flagship news broadcast. I know this will come as a disappointment to many of you but it was a business decision. Period.
Having grown up on the "CBS Evening News" I was done with her early in the pandemic when PBS's Yamiche Alcindor was sweating it out in the Rose Garden during a presser desperately attempting to get an answer from Trump about the government's response to the COVID (and who BTW was chastised by Trump for "not asking very nice questions") meanwhile over at CBS, O'Donnell was sitting in an air conditioned studio interviewing some DC priest named "Father Tim" who essentially said we needed to pray our way out of the pandemic, with O'Donnell all the while batting her baby blues, nodding in agreement and generally being being useless in terms of providing information to the public.
