Bill Orielly was getting $14M/year with the #1 cable show since 2000 Gore v Bush, when Foxnews [only one balanced] took over the ratings.
When Murdoch's liberal sons took over, they fired Bill for sex harassment [trumped up charge] and put $1M / year Tucker in the time slot.
Ratings took a dip, but then came back.
Now Tucker is getting $6M/year.
