It's about as "poorly paid" as you can get. He's the executive with the most power in America, yet probably not in the top 500 best paid executives.

The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
