'I found out I was the lowest paid at the table': Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski reveals she almost quit over gender pay gap
Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski has revealed she almost quit the show after just a year because she was earning far less than her male colleagues.
The 44-year-old said she discovered she took home 14 times less than co-host Joe Scarborough - so little she struggled to make ends meet.
Ms Brzezinski makes the revelations in her new book, 'Knowing Your Value', in which she discusses how women can negotiate the salary they're worth.

She said: ‘I realised instead of blaming it on MSNBC, it was me, that I didn’t understand my value, and this was a common problem I’d had throughout my career... feeling like I was at the bottom of the barrel inside because of the deal I had cut for myself.’
They pay people for that?
She’s always got Daddy to help out. F%$kin Elitist’
Demon seed
Maybe she needed a better agent? Maybe they decided to pay her at the level most social workers make? Who knows. Now a question, if she quit, would anyone have cared or noticed?
She seems to rule out her lack of grey matter.....
She should be paid by the DNC.
In an interview earlier this year, she told Marie Claire: 'My salary situation at Morning Joe wasn't right.
'I made five attempts to fix it, then realized I'd made the same mistake every time: I apologised for asking.'
What an idiot. She didn't have an agent to do the talking?
Her husband is making some decent money
Those gynophobic monsters made her scrape by on a mere $15 million.
The gender pay gap or the gap between your ears?
Who knew who she was before the show?
Who cares now?
She was still overpaid. She was only there for blonde hair and high cheekbones.
God Bless Our Troops
She believes the Marxist myth of:"to each according to their need and
from each according to their ability"
Worthless x 14 = 0
Sometimes I am ashamed to be a woman, and this is one of those times. Why do femnists think that, merely because they are women, they are worth as much or more than their male counterparts?
Given that this chippy was fired from her last news job, she was probably being paid commensurate with her experience.
Those of you bashing her should stop to consider something; she’s not whining that “it’s not fair.” She seems to be taking responsibility for her situation. She’s not screeching for laws to equalize the pay. Good for her.
And a great rack!
