CBSNEWS anchorwoman and 60 MINUTES contributor Katie Couric faces a dramatic pay cut at the network, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

CBS boss Les Moonves is determined to save money and trim expenses -- from top to bottom -- at the former crown jewel of broadcasting.

Couric, the highest paid TV news personality in history, commands over $14 million a year, plus bumps for non-EVENING NEWS appearances.

But her salary is now in the direct line of fire, network insiders explain, and a populist backlash against Couric's cash is said to be forming inside the newsroom.

"She makes enough to pay 200 news reporters $75,000 a year!" demands a veteran producer. "It's complete insanity."

The angry source continues: "We report with great enthusiasm how much bankers are making, how it is out of step with reality during a recession. Well, look at Katie!"

Couric's $300,000 a week paycheck has become the obsession of disgruntled CBS staff, just as deep layoffs rock the fishbowl.

Dozens of employees -- including staff members in D.C., San Francisco, Miami, London, Los Angeles and Moscow -- are being let go, the NEW YORK OBSERVER reports.

Couric's current CBS contract expires next year."

 

It is true people once thought CBS was a place you could get "just the Facts Ma'am" but that all ended the night Walter Cronkite coam on the evening news and declared the Vietnam War was lost. He gave his opinion and News has never been the same.

CBS is suffering from their choice to be boot lickers and ass kissers of their Messiah Obama. They joined the chorus of people claiming that if anyone opposed the Obama's socialist agenda they were Racists.

Turns out the racists are those who blindly follow Obama only because he's a black guy who can lie with a straight face. He's had not one good idea and he clearly isn't qualified to be Assistant Manager at a 7-11.

In Broadcasting if you don't have the News programing people trust and watch or listen to you pay the price.

CBS once again is number one, but this time it's the first to go down in flames and it will spread to ABC & NBC, CNN, MSNBC and they will all be looking to for Obama Buck Bailouts very soon.  

This couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of fools.

If it seems I am happy about this, you're very perceptive.
