Fun fact about Katie Couric, whose tenure as CBS Evening News host ends tonight: Her own personal salary ($15 million per year) was larger than the combined budgets of NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Wow.

Also worth noting: The Atlantic Wire, where we sourced this from, has this really cool open comment thread idea where regular users can pitch stories.
