of hiring her should be fired. I would think that more than one person would have to have given their stamp of approval and I seriously believe they should all lose their jobs.

This shows such a horrible lack of judgement. It's inexcusable.

No, not how it works. former9thward Mar 27 #26

Her baseless claim, on her 1st day on air, that the 2020 election had "problems," was alone grounds for firing her. SunSeeker Mar 28 #63

We will find out. former9thward Mar 28 #69

She's a public figure, the network can't claim AkFemDem Mar 27 #55

I agree... agingdem Mar 27 #13

No, NBC will settle. former9thward Mar 27 #28

This strategy would be much cheaper. And besides, SupportSanity Mar 27 #58

You are correct, 100% Let them pay for their stupidity. Escurumbele Mar 27 #22

Who were the idiots at NBC that hired her? Omnipresent Mar 27 #4

She should be paid. It isn't her fault some right wing Loving hack gave her a contract Takket Mar 27 #7

Keep her on, give her nothing to do, keep her from going elsewhere for two years sanatanadharma Mar 27 #8

Not a bad idea SouthernDem4ever Mar 27 #15

Best idea yet, you should send it to NBC. Tell them to give her a red stapler and an office in the basement without Escurumbele Mar 27 #20

sounds good... agingdem Mar 27 #23

Yep, and when she's charged with criming over the fake electors sybylla Mar 27 #25

Yep. Park her in a closet. Make her show up to work everyday and prevent her from working elsewhere. TheBlackAdder Mar 27 #46

you, my friend, are brilliant!!! Call NBC! lol Takket Mar 27 #61

Whoever hired her should be fired JI7 Mar 27 #9

Whomever decided to hire her should be fired. nt jrthin Mar 27 #10

Technically, she hasnt been fired yet... getagrip_already Mar 27 #11

We would need to read the contract to understand in what capacity she was hired. That is what her lawyers will Escurumbele Mar 27 #21

Have her be "on call" moreland01 Mar 27 #35

She didn't breach her contract, NBC breached common sense and morality PCIntern Mar 27 #12

Yes. They have a contract, though who knows what it says bucolic_frolic Mar 27 #31

She isn't the one that wants to terminate the contract, NBC is. MichMan Mar 27 #36

depends on what contract says....i would be open to be paid for not going on the air dembotoz Mar 27 #33

NBC hasn't always been, well, fucked up. twodogsbarking Mar 27 #34

Money well spent. KatyaR Mar 27 #38

Don't drag this out with litigation. Better to pay her off and put her and the story in the rear-view mirror. padah513 Mar 27 #43

I'm not surprised. It's extremely common for an on-air person to sign a contract with a term limit. If they are fired beaglelover Mar 27 #45

NBC did get a money quote out of her when she said Deminpenn Mar 27 #47

Put her to work shuffling papers oasis Mar 27 #48

Exactly. If the contract states NBC controls her duties, then bluestarone Mar 27 #53

Long ago, Mitch Kupchak, L.A. oasis Mar 27 #54

Serves NBC right for hiring her in the first place. They signed a contract so they have to pay up to break it. Martin68 Mar 27 #49

Guessing it would be more expensive Cha Mar 27 #56

It should be deducted from the paychecks of the "brainy" ones who made liberalla Mar 27 #57

Yep - the entire Executive Board of NBC should forfeit their Christmas bonuses FakeNoose Mar 27 #62

Not sure how you get a big pay out when you lied your ass off in your first interview. sybylla Mar 27 #60

Exactly. Dan Rather got fired for a lot less. SunSeeker Mar 28 #65

meh small price to pay and besides... Javaman Mar 28 #66

Give her an office in an empty warehouse. Just a desk and chair and phone. rickford66 Mar 28 #67

I agree with this. FeelingBlue Mar 28 #68

stupid decisions can be expensive.... spanone Mar 28 #70
