WP 06/13/14 - "What did NBC News’s Chelsea Clinton do for her $600,000 salary?"
The Washington Pose ^ | June 13, 2014 | Erik Wemple

Brian Williams interviews Chelsea Clinton. What’s the pay scale for a rookie network news correspondent with no news experience whatsoever?

Six-hundred thousand bucks!!!!

That’s according to Politico’s Dylan Byers and Maggie Haberman, who report that a prospect who came on board NBC News in November 2011 snared just that level of annual compensation. She was hired to do feel-good stories as part of NBC News’s “Making a Difference” franchise. Her name is Chelsea Clinton.

If that name hadn’t been connected to American royalty, she could have expected to rake in between $100,000 and $200,000 as a first-year network correspondent, a job that people from less-high-profile families snare only through years and years of tireless work covering the news. That salary range is confirmed by several people familiar with the compensation levels at major network news outlets.

“I’m sure that that salary figure is going to make other NBC correspondents’ heads spin right off their shoulders,” says one of those sources.

Let's not forget that Hunter Biden wasn't the only relative of a powerful politician.

“I’m sure that that salary figure is going to make other NBC correspondents’ heads spin right off their shoulders,” says one of those sources."

Wonder where the whistle blowers are at NBC? You'd think at least a few of them would have been at least a little pissed off that paid an "inexperienced" journalist such an incredible starting salary for "puff" stories.

I think she was supposed to fellate Matt Lauer under his desk until he saw those teeth.

The question is, what do the Democrats do for the MSM that keeps them towing the line?

That’s it? I didn’t think the Clintons got out of bed for less than $10 million.

She had no news experience, yet got a job with a major network. Not only the salary was out of line, but the fact that she got this job in the first place, is clearly an indication that she didn’t get the job on her merits.

I always wonder too, how she and her husband can afford to live in a $10 million Manhattan co-op. Who paid for that?

If that was the job, no way she could do better than 50% of it.

Criminal activities[edit]
In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 felony charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Mezvinsky, who had been working as an attorney at the time, was funneling embezzled and fraudulently obtained money to West African con men after falling victim to an online advance-fee scam.[11] In the waning days of the Clinton presidency, before the indictment was handed down, Mezvinsky’s wife wrote personally to President Clinton requesting a pardon for her husband. Clinton declined.[12] Nearly $10 million was involved in the crimes. Shortly after Mezvinsky’s indictment, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but the judge at his trial disallowed a mental illness defense.[6]

How about Michelle Obama and her $200,000 salary to sit on that hospital board when Barrack was a senator?

It amazes me that no matter how rich some of these parasites like the Clintons and Al Gore, people that really don’t contribute anything to society, show insatiable greed when it comes to money.

What she did was understand that she has an obligation to help out the donors, when she goes into public office, or through her biytch-ho mother’s foundation.

Little off topic but anyway. Was listing to Hannity interview Newt Gingrich. It was the 25th anniversary of the Contract with America. Newt said that previous to the Republican take over of the house, the Democrats held it for 40 years!

So I’ve been thinking why are Repulicans so weak and feckless when going against the Democrats. Well I think part of it is that we’ve been conditioned to be on the loosing side. Trump was needed to Teach US all how to fight back and Win. #Trump2020
