Touche'. Bankers and Wall Street execs are definately not worth what they are being paid. At least at the higher levels.

So shouldnt that apply to all people? Or is that only for the people you want it to apply to

Sorry you cant have it both ways neither can anyone that wants to complain about Katies pay

Cbs might wanna think about cutting her pay like the bank exec did to keep jobs

I was admitting that I was wrong in my first post.

Maybe Katie can do a Sonny and Cher type of show with Conan!

What the heck are you talking about? Why are you making this a gender issue? Did you even read the last paragraph?

There is no need for anyone to be paid six figures, much less, millions.

But it definitely should not be tied to ratings, because that would just simply mean sensationalizing the news to increase ratings.

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with ANYONE being paid what they can get from their employer.

If Ms. Couric and CBS decide that her compensation package be tied to her ratings, fine. I have no problem with that.

Those who say that no one should get over $ XXX , are just jealous. Nothing more

I just wished it was her and not her husband.
I can't stand seeing that little boy on TV all the time, but she follows the local news I watch.

I'm not jealous. I just don't think popularity contests should be used to measure how much truth is being told in Journalism, or worse, punishing them for delivering unhappy news. I'd pay more for facts being delivered than being entertained by OpEd. Tabloid news isn't news at all.

I have quit watching her so she wouldn't make very much if it was up to me.

Yes I did, LauraC. That was a blanket for the rant about ole Katie.
