SAWYER’S SALARY

Regarding “Does Diane Sawyer Deserve It?” (Aug. 7), the point is not whether Sawyer is worth $7 million. The point is that her salary will be taken out of ABC’s operating budget and they’ll make up for it by cutting jobs and underreporting the news.

Ultimately, it is all of us who pay the salaries of media personalities. We’ll pay dearly for this one.
