Mark Thompson’s new pay package has been revealed:
BREAKING: New York Times CEO Thompson will get $1 million salary, $3 million bonus, via @BloombergNews—
Bloomberg TV (@BloombergTV) August 17, 2012
While he is in line for a huge bonus, it means Thompson’s new basic wage is less than the whopping £671,000 he was paid by the Beeb. Who would have thought a public organisation would pay over the odds…

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…
“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”
” Evans, dear boy, Evans “
Would not get out of bed for that.
Whose bed ?
Forget about beds they’re shit, I say you can’t beat a glass coffee table.
He’d only be able to get out of the left side of the bed.
You made me click 2 links to see a bloody Twitter embed? Why not just say “follow @bloombergtv” on your Tweet?
Though it does sort of explain why your blog views are up though, eh?
I don’t see any such rubbish and you wouln’t either with:

Not by that much, and that’s a function of the exchange rate anyhow, innit?
More important, how much does he clear after taxes? I’ll take a punter’s chance and say it’s much more on the other side of the Atlantic.
Yes, I suspect the overall cost of living there is somewhat lower than in London.
I would prefer if people were judged on results

In that case, you owe the taxpayers a trillion or two. Now fuck off back to Kirkcaldy and stay there.
Surely though running the NYT is an easier job than the Beeb?
Isn’t the NYT in the business of trying to make a profit? If that’s the case, Thompson’s going to have to learn PDQ that you can’t just go on spending other people’s money indefinitely.
A pay cut then
£670,000 is about $1m.
Did the Beeb do bonuses?

we are all socialists now!
Too bad they didn’t throw you out of the helicopter at the opening ceremony.
I’m surprised, Mr Fawkes, that you use the expression ‘earning’ in this case. ‘Being paid’ is the correct terminology. Thompson has never ‘earned’ anything.
Likewise for a whole army of public sector non-job employees.
aka leeches, parasites & pimps
Is there anything more boring than the comments on a guido thread? Maybe ZH comments?
You wouldn’t have been able to say that abut the comments in Pravda, for obvious reasons.

Market rates.
Which market, whose rates… less clear.
Now, this massive bonus lark… wasn’t the BBC rather less than keen on such things?
Or is this another ‘unique’ to the collection?
Socialism may not work, but it certainly pays.
Or as we used to say in the Soviet Union, ‘Socialism may not pay, but we certainly have to bloody work’.
Or as the Poles put it “they pretend to pay us and we pretend to work”.
Anyone who pays the extortion that feeds the BBC parasites, is complicit in aiding erroneous socialist ideals to destroy our nation.
Hew, if the NYT want to pay this lefty prick $4 million let them. Lets see if he can actually create any wealth. It’s nice that he is not leeching off telly tax payers any more.
I choose not to buy papers, like I choose to not pay the telly tax.
Thompson will be out within 2 years.
CEO’s are biting the dust in ever increasing numbers in the USA’s upper echelon companies.
In my small colleguerrrs sites they’ve got additional me personally for their web site rolls, yet my verizon prepaid phone continually is situated end of it of your collection and also collection as soon as i publish enjoy it does indeed for some. Is mtss is a preparing that I want to shift or perhaps mtss is a determination they’ve produced?
