Brian Williams has the largest audience but is not at the top of the list... hmmm. I do like him better than most broadcasters.
 
Some of them are "analysts" and stuff. Not many of them are real thinkers. But yeah for what they do they are handsomely rewarded, and I'm never one to get all envious of what other people earn. Many are just "newsreaders" or purveyors of their opinion - local and national and even local get a decent salary, again don't care what they are selling, but don't try to sell it as news.

Piers "one theme guy" Morgan and Chris "tingle up my leg" Matthews are real dimwits and frankly have terrible and declining viewership.
 
All for talking heads. Read the news on the Internet and be done with them. You also avoid the ads. On the Internet you can just skip them.
 
Thats America! All the more power to every one of them, thats what the American dream is all about.

BTW they forgot the man, el Rushbo on the EIB network at 38 million a year.

Why are most of those network parking seals and Pavlovian dogs called "NEWS" casters? More like bullbleep throwers.

Something yellow ran down Matthews leg. Chrissyboy was the booze fetcher in charge for Tip O'Neil, who was known to take a cocktail under extreme social pressure. Now he lives in lilly white Chevy Chase, sends his kids to the same private school that Obama does, and calles the rest of us "bigots". I'd like to "reason" with him in a dark parking lot some day when his paid stooges aren't around.

That chart makes it easy to see why NBC dumped Leno and rumors persist about Lauer. Between the two of them, Comcast could lose $45-50M in payroll.

I feel the same way about Faux News reporter "Sorry, we accidently pasted two seperate Obama protests into one" Hannity.

Good for all these guys making the coin they are. They deserve it. I'm sure they worked hard to get to that position.

Leno, whom I have grown to like, is rewarding the left wing cheering squad at NBC by bashing the administration at every turn. GO Jay!

Other than Hannity, I think this list is the board of directors for "Organizing for Action" and MAIG. Certainly very few actual newscaster included here. Paid Propaganda networks galore.

Like Diann Sawyer, who got all her best scoops the old fashioned way, on her back.

+1 and an EXTRA 1
 
What about Robin Meade from CNN HN? Surely she should weigh in there somewhere. Oh. Wait, CNN doesn't report news anymore, just Flash trials and 4 guys/girls that play armchair QB afterwards!!
 
Hahaha. I hear a lot of you complaining but yet it seems you are still watching them. And I thought they made more.
