CNN anchor salaries

they READ the news. Off of a teleprompter. They don't make the news, they don't investigate and discover the news. They just read it. No difference between what they do and if you were to read - outloud - this very paragraph.

If they make more than $40,000 a year (obviously, they do) it's too much.

There is no difference between what Shaquille O'Neil does and what I do with a bunch of co-workers twice a week as well?

Anchors have a lot to do with the ratings. Look at ABC for proof. If they provide that much value, let them be paid whatever someone will pay them. This obviously matters for large national broadcasts more, but there is a reason why they are paid so much.
