Chelsea Clinton Makes $600K from NBC News Because That's Fair

Hillary And Chelsea Clinton Speak Host Discussion On Girls And WomenPaging Jill Abramson. You may want to add this chick to your hit list. 

In a world where networks with too much money hire people with too few qualifications (but a skosh of notoriety), there’s Chelsea Clinton. 

Mind you, this is also a world in which Jill Abramson can be the former executive editor of The New York Times, have tons of responsibility, and fight to make $475,000 while her predecessor Bill Keller made $559,000. And that’s to run one of the nation’s leading newspapers.

Back to Clinton, who received $600,000 for only her last name one month of reporting “acuity” on the now-defunct “Rock Center with Brian Williams.”

Your move, America.

According to Politico (because if you were a real journalist, Chelsea, they would hire you), Clinton smacks the nation in the mouth with her check stub from the meh evening news broadcast from NBC.
