Everybody at Fox News Still Being Paid Exorbitant Sums

For helping Fox News continue pulling in more viewers than any other cable network, Roger Ailes was rewarded $19.9 million in the last twelve months, double what he was paid in the year prior. His pay package includes a measly $5 million salary, plus a $1 million bonus and, from Fox News alone, a $4.5 million bonus. How are things looking farther up the ladder, though, where Rupert Murdoch sits? Still healthy, but not such year-over-year largesse. In fact, Murdoch's pay slipped last year. Fourteen percent lower, Murdoch's total compensation rang in at $27.5 million; $17.5 million of that was a cash bonus. As for Democrat-loving COO Peter Chernin? He beat the bossman, with pay of $28.8 million; even still, his award dropped a full 15 percent.
