"She is seeking legal representation"...hehe...their stupidity is going to cost them. Escurumbele Mar 26 #46

She must be happy it's not a "right to work" state ToxMarz Mar 26 #52

Bless her heart... Blue Idaho Mar 26 #73

Completely irrelevant if she had a contract. N/t Ms. Toad Mar 30 #108

Didn't someone post Fox already refused to hire her BlueKota Mar 27 #102

Done. ProfessorGAC Mar 26 #93

Suave. TigressDem Mar 26 #94

For people who are forever whining about "frivolous lawsuits" thucythucy Mar 26 #2

To be fair, she does have a contract. intheflow Mar 26 #61

True enough. thucythucy Mar 26 #63

the "higher ups" did put thought into it. There are MAGAts infesting everywhere LiberalLovinLug Mar 26 #79

Did you mean NBC? Sky Jewels Mar 26 #85

Yes thanks for noticing. Changed. LiberalLovinLug Mar 26 #91

It depends on the conditions of the contract nuxvomica Mar 26 #69

The contract wasn't "at will"? Ponietz Mar 26 #81

I don't. intheflow Mar 27 #99

They could have waited a week and fired her for cause when she says something stupid. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 26 #84

Are you kidding? I'd sue too. jimfields33 Mar 26 #87

Let her sue MorbidButterflyTat Mar 26 #3

I agree..let her sue but I'm going to bet agingdem Mar 26 #28

Maybe, but the more NBC can prove she had given false info, the less the payout NBC might have to suffer. ancianita Mar 26 #32

Absolutely they should fire those responsible for hiring her. LiberalFighter Mar 26 #40

I want NBC to suffer...NBC didn't learn agingdem Mar 26 #48

Yes. It didn't learn because at core it's corporate, always wanting to expand its market. ancianita Mar 26 #77

re: "she was in a federal indictment as Co-conspirator 2" thesquanderer Mar 26 #60

Here's hoping, right? ancianita Mar 26 #78

nah, they will just buy out her contract. The only question is how much. ZonkerHarris Mar 26 #70

I emailed them twice over the last couple of days walkingman Mar 26 #4

I just can't imagine what they were thinking PatSeg Mar 26 #25

I agree MSNBC has plenty of conservative voices. LiberalFighter Mar 26 #43

Yes PatSeg Mar 26 #72

Dish dirt on Trump? Ligyron Mar 29 #106

I hadn't thought of that PatSeg Mar 29 #107

Well of course Traildogbob Mar 26 #5

Don't know what she's whining about; she'll probably get a fat buyout check. bluesbassman Mar 26 #7

What case would she have? Does anyone have a right to be a paid contributor to NBC MadameButterfly Mar 26 #10

I'm not sure the case would argue any "right to be a paid contributor" TheProle Mar 26 #17

I guess we have to make it cost them more MadameButterfly Mar 26 #20

There's almost certainly a contract, so they'll have to buy it from her. Ocelot II Mar 26 #18

Indded ProfessorGAC Mar 26 #65

Depends on the wording of her contract. spooky3 Mar 26 #19

Why is everyone saying they are out of touch johnnyfins Mar 26 #49

They are out of touch if they didn't see in advance that important spooky3 Mar 26 #53

listen to Olbermann's podcast ofr a while and you get an idea what these execs are like MadameButterfly Mar 27 #105

Anyone who did not know what this woman was all about Mr.Bill Mar 26 #66

She has a slam dunk breach of contract case. rsdsharp Mar 26 #23

Would the contract say time of day or location? LiberalFighter Mar 26 #47

I assume the contract defines her roll as a "contributor." rsdsharp Mar 26 #71

It may depend what is any contract that may have been signed. avebury Mar 27 #101

They can try to drop her but the stench is gonna linger Blue Owl Mar 26 #6

At least they now know Sky Jewels Mar 26 #88

Will RRM say..."YOU guys hired ex RNC Chair Michael Steele!" ProudMNDemocrat Mar 26 #8

Is Michael Steele even a Republican any more? MadameButterfly Mar 26 #11

He's still Republican happy feet Mar 26 #15

Good. Now fire the executives that hired her. n/t FSogol Mar 26 #9

Yes, Rachel was very good. bdamomma Mar 26 #27

Thanks for this link. MorbidButterflyTat Mar 26 #38

They're basically two divisions of the same company. n/t thesquanderer Mar 26 #57

Yes, she basically asked the top brass to do this senseandsensibility Mar 26 #44

I like to think we all had a little to do with this. Prairie_Seagull Mar 26 #56

I attribute this change of heart angrychair Mar 26 #58

If shes just a contributor, probably not a lot she can sue for. getagrip_already Mar 26 #13

Depends. There might have been a contract under which she was to be paid Ocelot II Mar 26 #22

True, but at $300k/year, it wont be too painful getagrip_already Mar 26 #26

This is a direct result, and the main intent of Rachel's leading story last night MadameButterfly Mar 26 #14

Every MSNBC show after 4 pm took a very hard line... dchill Mar 26 #31

I only watched RAchel but I'm glad to hear it and will watch the others n/t MadameButterfly Mar 26 #64

Whatever they offered her in salary, for sure she will demand payment. Fla Dem Mar 26 #16

At least they won't have to pay millions as they did with Megyn Kelly. Nt spooky3 Mar 26 #21

Let her go to Newsmax, where she belongs. Nt Fiendish Thingy Mar 26 #24

She admits to being an election denier and part of the insurrection. Plenty of photo and video evidence. lindysalsagal Mar 26 #29

"NBC Plans to dump the gun they shot themselves with" dchill Mar 26 #30

I like that!!! Or, they could've avoided the whole problem if they'd done the liberalla Mar 26 #35

Right. But once the trigger is pulled... dchill Mar 26 #37

Yes, it gets messy... liberalla Mar 26 #42

Indeed!!! MontanaMama Mar 26 #90

NBC's bigger problem than Rona..... IowaGuy Mar 26 #33

Just pay her a few million to shut her up MSNBC. Then lay off some more people to pay for it. Eazy peazy. progressoid Mar 26 #34

I hope so, yet... mysteryowl Mar 26 #36

They should fire whomever is responsible for hiring her. Mickju Mar 26 #54

Once Rachel came out against it angrychair Mar 26 #55

All they have to do is follow any segment of hers with somebody sane Warpy Mar 26 #89

I'd like to see them keep her under contract but put her in a closet. sybylla Mar 26 #95
