How much are Savannah Guthrie, Chuck Todd, and other broadcast journalists paid?

[LiberalFighter]

Do they get paid more than $250k or in addition to their spouse's income?

1. I have wondered that very question...

I don't think Todd makes over $1m. Of course, he has a book (if you want to call that sloppy thrown together mess he wrote after the 08 election a book). Savannah prolly makes less, even tho I think she works harder than Todd. Just a "pretty face," right?

2. They are pulling in at least $300k or more n/t

3. VERY FEW TV talking heads are paid less than $250K / annum. They would all

benefit from tax cuts currently being discussed.

Think they could be objective???

5. IMO Not likely

Plus they probably also rub noses with the upper income levels and sleaze off of them.

4. Matthews and Scarborough --millions. . This gives an idea

on how to guess. Todd is one of the top Politicals for NBC.

6. Rush Limpballs $58.5 million, Glenn Beck $35million

<snip>
Let?s start with this gentleman here, the man with the cigar, Rush Limbaugh. Doesn?t he look happy? According according to Newsweek, he makes $58.7 million a year, and extending the tax cuts means he?ll have another $2.7 million. Mega dittos, Rush, and mega money. Let?s look at the next one.

Here?s Glenn Beck, according to Newsweek Glenn Beck makes $33 million a year as a pundit and extending the Bush Tax Cuts means a cool $1.5 million for Glenn bBeck?s ongoing imitation of Howard Beale from Network. Now let?s look at the next one.

Sean Hannity. Newsweek says that Sean Hannity, this man of the people makes $22 million a year from his act on Fox. And that means the Bush Tax cuts mean an extra $1 million. $1 million for Sean Hannity. Maybe he can afford some anger management classes. Let?s take a look at the next one.

Bill O?Reilly. He makes a modest $20 million a year from his gig on Fox. That means that the Bush tax cuts give him not quite seven figures, nearly $914,000 of extra cash. It?s easy to see why Bill O?Reilly wants to see the Bush tax cuts extended. And I have to say, he?s no pinhead when it comes to that.

And Now, Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin has made $14 million this year from cashing in on her fame. In fact, she?s done a better job of turning fame into cash than anyone in American history. $14 million. So she wants the Bush tax cuts extended so she can make an extra cool $638,000. As she was ? as she would gesture (shoulder shrug.)

And now on to Newt Gingrich, the man who did such a great job of running America in the 1990?s, he wants a second chance in this decade. Newt if you do to us now what you did to us then, we?ll be in trouble. But Newt Gingrich makes $5 million a year from his punditry, he?ll get an extra quarter million dollars a year. An extra quarter million dollars a year from the Bush tax cuts being extended.

Brian Williams: $10 million

7. Why is Newt Gingrich, serial wife cheater, even a voice that anyone wants to hear?

Why is this man even quoted as saying he might think about running for President? John Edwards is not allowed out of the dog shed for a second, and that piece of walking, talking crap is all over the TV, being quoted and questioned and even allowed to ruminate about a Presidential run??

WTF?????????
