The maturity difference between the 2 writers is quite obvious as we read seeing as how Fox news writers use actual facts to back up why they think the salary of Bob Iger is, as both articles put it, “insane.” However CNN uses a less mature style of writing to explain why Bob Iger doesn’t deserve the salary he has inherited.
In the Fox news article, Bob Iger has a $66 million dollar salary. The comparison that the writer makes is that he makes the median of 1565 disney workers. With his newly aquired salary, he could give every worker of disney a 15% wage increase and still pocket about $10 million into his salary. Iger’s $65.6 million in compensation was largely tied to stock grants after Disney’s acquisition of Fox television and film assets, which closed earlier this year. The heiress has refused to specify the size of her inheritance but has announced that she has donated $70 million to charity. Her words were “If I wanted to be a billionaire, I could”
In the CNN article, His pay was largely boosted by long-term incentives associated with his contract extension, which was announced in accordance with the deal for Disney to purchase a majority 21st Century Fox. In the article she is surrounded my criticism saying “at least respect the dignity of those you pay.” She has responded saying that those who contribute to making a successful business for Disney will be paid going so far even to say that employees and CEO’s in the past were paid too much. With the increase of Disney’s company as a whole rising from $75 million to $132 million, many workers for Disney feel they are being mistreated since the company is going through such a large increase financially.
