First Juan Williams, now this. Shame on you, NPR.
I agree, it's good there are investigators keeping all the news outlets "honest".

NPR reported its five highest paid employees were:
1. Managing Editor Barbara Rehm, $383,139
2. All Things Considered host Robert Siegel, $350,288
3. Morning Edition host Renee Montagne, $332,160
4. Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep, $331,242
5. NPR afternoon programming director Richard L. Harris, $190,267.

Ok, right, let them do that without my $$$$
Problem with lowering those wages (they do seem high to me), is the quality of talent. The people that run these types of places would quickly go somewhere else if they weren't getting paid a competitive wage. Then places like NPR are left with either hacks or up and comers that either can't do the jobs, or don't do it long enough to make a lasting impression.
