   Everything's relative.  If you were expecting to make something like $50   
   million over the next 5 or 10 years, along with having one of the most   
   prestigious jobs in TV, $30 million and a job on a cable network is a   
   huge step down.  Regardless of what you think of the guy, he got screwed   
   out of tens of millions of dollars that he was promised.
