Who is in need of a cut more?

HaaaHAaaaa! That made my day. Like they have no money left for stylists. Why, because their paying so much for researchers and fact checkers? HahaHAaaaaaa!

Which kinda puts this entire discussion into its proper context.

IMO their budgetary priorities are somewhat out-of-whack.  Less money for hairstylists and more for research and fact-checking would be a very good thing.  To me, the job of the "news" is to objectively inform the audience.  Of course, objectivity seems to be in short supply from various "news" departments, from time to time.  But their priorities have become ever more focused on the bottom line, and so their job seems to have become to retain the audience (and presumably by whatever means, including precisely-coiffed talking heads).
