NBC Paid Chelsea Clinton $600,000 Annual Salary For Occasional Work
Hillary Clinton may have left the White House "dead broke" in her own words over a decade ago, but the same can hardly be said about her daughter, Chelsea, who as Politico revealed today, was being paid an annual salary of $600,000 at NBC News before switching to a month-to-month contract earlier this year.
As a reminder, the younger Clinton, who previously worked as an analyst at $12 billion hedge fund Avenue Capital in a quid-pro-quo which its owner Marc Lasry, a close friend of Bill Clinton, had hoped would bring him a fast track appointment to the French ambassador position (and which was scuttled last year after several of his poker-playing acquaintances were charged in a mob gambling ring), joined NBC News as a “special correspondent” in November 2011. "She was up for renewal or non-renewal this year. Instead, the sources said, the network decided to keep her on the payroll on a month-to-month basis so that the two parties could sever ties if Clinton’s mother, Hillary, runs for president."
So what exactly did Chelsea do to command such a hefty salary?
As special correspondent, Clinton worked on service-related feature assignments for NBC’s “Rock Center with Brian Williams” until the show’s cancellation in June 2013. Clinton has since worked on packages for NBC Nightly News.
In that time, Clinton’s principal occupation has been the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, where she has been a major force in steering her parents’ charitable work in the final years of her mother’s tenure at the State Department, and since then. This April, she announced that she was pregnant. Clinton is due to deliver her first child in the fall, and it’s unclear if she would resume work with NBC after that.
In other words, "occasional work"
Ironically, even as the US rages at cases of domestic investment banks abusing nepotism and hiring Chinese princelings in exchange for lucrative banking contracts, nobody finds the Clinton arrangement with what is supposed to be an objective, impartial media outlet even remotely disturbing.
Well, maybe some do:
When Clinton joined NBC, many media critics chafed at the network’s decision to employ a former first daughter with no experience in journalism. The New York Post referred to Clinton as “just another spoiled, aimless child of rich, successful parents chauffeured through adulthood by Mommy and Daddy’s connections.”
But before NBC is accused of pandering solely to democrats, recall that in 2009 NBC Universal, it hired George W. Bush’s daughter Jenna Bush Hager to serve as a correspondent on the “Today” show. In 2011, it hired Sen. John McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain as a contributor on MSNBC.
In other words, nepotism from one extreme to the other.
But the good news is that for all complaints about lack of wage inflation, it clearly does exist... for a very lucky few.

The point here is not that she accepted employment. (wouldn't you?) The point here is that some moron(s) chose to pay her $600k and that some other moron(s) signed off on the deal. Unqualified, yes. Bad fiscal stewardship, without question. A management termination offense.
This is so fucking crazy. Talk about what? What has she ever done?
Triple post with no human input:(
This ugly little drat needs to get impaled by numerous big black cocks from the boys at DogFart.....aptly named, as she is a fucking dog...just banged silly...then pissed on....then dropped off at a truck stop and dumped in the johns...
IF...the mandingos would even do her in the first place....
fucking god awful unsightly....Jesus Christ...can you imagine crawling into bed with that skank slothed in it? Gives me the willies just typing this....
600K?
For what?
LOL
Proves NBC is truly...truly....fucked up
An analyst? An analyst of what? What subject did she receive her PhD in anyway? Most people crow about their PhD subject/dissertation and I haven't heard jack-ola from this girl abour her academic creds. $600,000 for sitting around looking dopey. What a country.
The best political access that money can buy.
And dipsh8t Krugeman had the gall to write an article today damning the finacial safety that ex Republican polls receive from Corporations.
Chelsea is:
a) an ug-bug
b) a yuck bag
c) a troll
d) fugly
e) a candidate for reconstructive surgery
f) a reason to switch teams
g) all of the above
you have 60 seconds to choose
All of the above....she is sooo ugly she can make an onion cry!!!!
Geez, she's flat broke and so are her parents. Must be hard to wake up and soldier on with all the difficulty they have had to face.
I hope someone releases a photo of somone snorting coke off her ass soon. I don't think I could take another fucking Clinton.
BTW, was this before or after the Comcast takeover?
She's got knee pads and little blue dress written all over her! Daddy's Girl! And I hear that she's pro-minimum wage too!
POND LIFE
As someone succiently said when describing Chuck Schumer yesterday: POND SCUM.
Then again (as said right after that comment), At least pond scum has some use, unlike [Cau-Chelsea] (sic).
You can take the Hillbillies out of the trailerpark .... but you can't take the trailerpark out of ........
OFFS! Sorry
Socialism is meant for YOU, not for the socialists.
Her jihad against beauty has been lowered to Sal(ary)Con ..... oh fuck, who cares?
Any news here?
by the way, who cares about NBC?
Any news here?
by the way, who cares about NBC?
Chelsea for the f****** president! After Bill and Klingon.
Don't worry, after we get eight years of hitlery, we'll get eight years of her offspring. Scary thought! Yikes !!!!
Liberalism Pays!
Apologies. My 3G Kindle is out of control. I don't think it's love at first sight.
Just another hard working 'intern' with great technique with the mic... just like you-know-who!
Fuck Chelsea....Oh shit....I would never want to fuck this ugly skank....
A guy that runs a hedge fund forced his son to not only bang that but to marry it. Wants the Corzine treatment from the government when the shit hits the fan.
Nasty
Don't hate her because she's beautiful.
PARASITE
Well what do you know? - Mr. Toure, the Rev Al, and all the other Black commentators on MSNBC and CNN were right after all. White privilege is really true. Just look at MS Clinton and tell us that she does not enjoy her white previlege to its fullest.
Too bad you wont hear anything from them on this issue - as MS Clinton is one of the anointed, and being "almost black" herself.
Y'all are being too hard on BJ's most fortunate sprog. $600,000 a year seems like a lot...until you remember she's responsible for making mortgage payments on a $10,000,000 Manhattan apartment.
The next generation of oveords.

I don't care... she'll never be the man her mother was....
Chelsea is actually a transgender. Hillary loves her cuz she's 6'2" and has really big feet
A wake up call to all NBC stock holders that management is pissing away their capital. Tip of the iceberg.
She's being groomed to follow in her mom's footsteps continuing the Clinton Dynasty. Good thing she is looking more like mom:

Inauguration Friday 20 January 2017
Funny, the Leftists are either unable or willfully just as morally corrupt as the leaders they adore. Trading in on the public trust to well over 100 million dollars and ya think they didn't do anything for it, they just were so effing wonderful?
