To be fair, you've got to factor in the cost of facilities, taxes, and benefits when you've got to consider the cost of an employee. (I've had to explain this to co-workers, but now our company makes the benefits and taxes costs explicit to us.) I wouldn't be surprised if a $250K/year reporter really costs CBS $500K/each.
The question is, though, is a TV reporter really worth that much? I would think not. But hey, neither is Couric worth $20 million, I would say.

That other $10 million is obviously earmarked for sales tax. Unless, y'know, you buy those reporters on a sales-tax holiday.
What I want to know is, can I get that hot French anchorbabe? Is there a mail-in rebate?

Maybe part of that left-over $10 million could be used to buy Andy Rooney a calculator. Obviously math isn't his forte. Then again, what is his forte?

Andy Rooney couldn't use a ruler, not to mention a calculator...which along with his arithmetic skills, goes a long way in proving that reporters are paid fair value.
I wonder if they will still showcase Katie's only real asset, her legs, if she becomes an anchor?
