despite fierce criticism of her work so far on ‘Rock Center.’ The network will extend the 90-day contract for Clinton, daughter of former President Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton, who provides ‘Making a Difference’ reports on the weekly newsmagazine hosted by Brian Williams, according to the New York Post. An NBC spokeswoman declined to comment. The
critical reaction was swift -- and harsh. Glenn Greenwald, a commentator for Salon, tweeted Monday that the reupping amounted to ‘Royalty + aristocratic privilege + nepotism + media
eagerness to incur favor with the powerful.’ Last week, the second of her reports aired (following the first in December), this one about a charter school in Rhode Island. It was promptly
ripped apart by Baltimore Sun TV critic David Zurawik, who derided it as an ‘empty-headed puff job’ and ‘silly crap.’ But NBC may be following a master plan. Asked why the news division was
renewing Clinton, a veteran TV agent replied simply: ‘Because her dad was president of the United States for eight years and her mom will run four years from now.’ Should NBC reup Chelsea
Clinton? ALSO: Stephen Colbert resumes taping on Monday The return of Bethenny Frankel to Bravo ‘Simpson’s’ Matt Groening on reaching 500 episodes -- Scott Collins
