Chelsea Clinton said Friday she is quitting her job as a reporter at NBC News, citing increased work at the Clinton Foundation and imminent birth of her first child.

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s daughter had been working at the network since 2011, sporadically doing feature stories on people or organizations doing public-spirited work.

Politico magazine reported earlier this year that NBC was paying her $600,000 a year. …

Its easier counting money over at the
Clinton money laundering operation.well..not really, machines can do that now!...
(and they didn't cheat, either. :)

you know ,I’ve never ever heard her speak

Same here. But I don't watch TV except for sports

Guess she figures she better quit before they ask her to leave - I mean H asking her to leave as she would maybe considered a ‘conflict of interest’ inre H’s quest to make WJC First Man.

Of course Fred Thompson couldn’t even ‘officially’ declare to be a candidate until the shows he had in the can were aired.

AND he wasn’t even playing a Pol - guess NY DA would be considered Political but he was mainly a lawyer..(not much real difference though)

You need to add an 11 on that meter.

<'Chelsea's storytelling inspired people across the country and showcased the real power we have as individuals to make a difference in our communities," said Alex Wallace, senior vice president at NBC News.

I'll pay $100 to anyone who can find someone who was "inspired" by Chelsea Clinton's storytelling.

In November 2011, NBC announced that they hired Clinton as a special correspondent. One of her roles was reporting feature stories about "Making a Difference" for NBC Nightly News and Rock Center with Brian Williams. It was a three-month contract and allowed her to concurrently continue working for the Clinton Foundation and pursue her education.

I guess that 3 month contract paid $2.4 million over 3 years. Here is the Facebook page for her show with all 88 likes:

That works out to be $27,000 per like. NBC is Rockin!

Monica had an affair with Webb too?

In this economy? Things are tough all ovah...

Quits? Oh, let’s not talk baby talk.

And she has to do less real work for it.

citing ...imminent birth of her first child.

Thereby reinforcing the prejudice against hiring young women because as soon as the get pregnant they quit.

Good work you little dip. You just made it marginally harder for your sisters to get a job.

citing increased work at the Clinton Foundation and imminent birth of her first child.

Yeah, right, "work".

"Chelsea Clinton quits as NBC News reporter"

She may have quit working for NBC, but there was never any indication she worked as a "reporter."

[Blood of Tyrants]

You would be hard pressed to find anyone who even saw or read one of her reports. For all practical purposes, this was a no-show job to reward the Clintons.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Just share a photo of Chelsea Clinton on facebook and the $100 will appear in your wallet as if by magic.

Chelsea was as much of a reporter as her daddy’s ex-girlfriend was a cigar smoker.
