How much "news" show hosts make - they are in a perfect place to tell the poor what they need.....

Surprised Rachel isn't even in the top 10 with the highest rating show.

These people AREN'T 1%'rs. The line for entering the 0.1% range is just $2.7 M. 5 years ago, you could be a 1% with just $375k of household income. Now it's $750k. https://www.investopedia.com/personal-finance/how-much-income-puts-you-top-1-5-10/

These are the people we are being told to trust as being real people who understand what common people think. They probably never talk to them unless ordering something.

Just saying.
