ON THE RECORD: Jan 17, 2014: The Huffington Post's Katherine Fung reported about an interview Sarah Palin had with Mario Lopez in which she took a few swipes at Katie Couric. ("Sarah Palin: Katie Couric's Show Ending 'Didn't Surprise Me'"): "When "Extra"'s Mario Lopez asked Palin if she believes in karma, she replied, "I certainly believe that what goes around comes around."  She said that friends mentioned the end of Couric's daytime show to her, recalling, “I remember getting a couple of texts that said things like, ‘Oh, sorry that it didn’t work out there at CBS or ABC.'" Palin also sounded off on Couric's ratings. "The ratings were going in the tank with her as one of the head honchos there in the newsroom at CBS and then it didn’t surprise me, her other move," she said. "Things weren’t going real well there, either." Couric made about $20 million a year for her two years so I really dont think ending it so quickly was such a bad deal for her.

Katie Couric
Katherine Anne "Katie" Couric (born January 7, 1957) is an American television journalist, author and talk show host. Couric has been a television host on all Big Three television networks in the United States. She worked for NBC News from 1989 to 2006 and for CBS News from 2006 until fall 2011, when she joined ABC News.

"You really must guard against the cynicism and nastiness that are so pervasive today, particularly on the internet. It can be a wonderful, powerful and equalizing tool, but it's also populated by haters and trolls. People think they can say or do anything online under the cloak of anonymity. Don't get sucked in." --Katie Couric to Princeton graduates 2009

As of May 2012, Couric also has a web show for ABC News, titled Katie's Take, airing weekly on Yahoo! and the ABC News website. Since September 10, 2012, she has hosted Katie, a syndicated daytime talk show produced by Disney-ABC Domestic Television. In addition to this, she serves as special correspondent for ABC News, contributing to ABC World News, Nightline, 20/20, Good Morning America, This Week and primetime news specials. She has anchored the CBS Evening News, reported for 60 Minutes, and hosted Today and reported for Dateline NBC. She was the first solo female anchor of a weekday evening news program on one of the three traditional U.S. broadcast networks. Couric's first book, The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons from Extraordinary Lives was a New York Times best-seller. As of 2014, Couric will also be a global news anchor for Yahoo News, an affiliate of ABC News.

.Dec 26, 2013: Inside sources reveal that ABC's "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts has renewed her contract for 5 years. Her salary? $20 million a year. A few days ago I reported that Katie Couric was getting $20 million a year for her talk show for her ABC talk show. If you are making an issue out of how many politicians are out of touch with the real working people because they make such an extravagant salary, you should also note that many of the talking-head pundits also make more many than many of us will see in a life time while also claiming they "understand."
