Media Analyst Slams NBC News for Hiring ‘Imposter’ Chelsea Clinton

In the new Hollywood Reporter magazine, Andrew Tyndall imagines Clinton and Andrea Mitchell covering a financial crisis, “the daughter of the president who deregulated high finance with the wife of central banker Alan Greenspan, who allowed it to run amok.”

Wanted: Reporter for regular feature segments on NBC Nightly News. No journalists need apply. NBC sent its viewers a miserable message about its brand with the addition of Chelsea Clinton (qualification: onetime residency in the White House, boldface parents) as a reporter for Making a Difference, its segment about volunteerism and community service.

The quality of journalism that we deliver, NBC News implicitly states, is of such a low standard that a rank amateur is qualified to stand in front of our cameras, just as long as she has a famous last name.
