Chelsea Clinton, Ace Reporter

Add her to those other journalism graduates now working in the media: Sarah Palin, Jenna Bush, Meghan McCain.

I really don’t understand what those angry, lazy losers in the Occupy movement are so upset about. America is a meritocracy; if you work hard and prove your skills, you get ahead. The winners deserve what they have because they have earned it. And when all else fails, we have a media filled with insurgent outsiders who will be relentless watchdogs over those in power because that’s what our media outlets are: true outsiders there to check the most powerful factions.

Even more encouragingly, we have a media that ensures that diverse views are heard; Chelsea Clinton previously worked at a $12 billion hedge fund and her former-Goldman-Sachs-banker husband earlier this year launched his own hedge fund with “two guys from Goldman,” so she brings a depth and diversity of perspetive that is sorely lacking in our news (true, CNN boldly features Erin Burnett — the former Goldman, Sachs employee and current fiancé of a top Citigroup executive — but nothing can compete with Chelsea Clinton’s rich, impressive journalism background).

And here’s Fox News bashing NBC for hiring Jenna Bush and Chelsea Clinton as “the celebrity factor” - “this isn’t really journalism, it’s celebrity news – it’s ridiculous.” Fox News, who hired Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
