On Chelsea Clinton and NBC

Chelsea Clinton has a new job as a “special correspondent” for NBC Nightly News as well as the network’s new TV-magazine, Rock Center With Brian Williams. James Rainey’s piece on the Clinton hire notes that Chelsea’s entry into media is fairly ironic, given her legendary unwillingness to be interviewed.

True to her long-standing practice, Clinton declined to speak to anyone in the media after NBC’s announcement. She strenuously avoided interviews during Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2008 presidential run, even refusing to speak to a 9-year-old reporter from Scholastic News.
