Bravo to one reader of NROÂ’s Media Blog, who notes something very interesting about the new contract signed by Chris Matthews and its coverage by the New York Times!

One thing struck me reading the NYT story you linked…."One executive involved in the negotiations said, “Whether he took a slight cut or got a slight raise, it’s nobody’s business.”

Actually it is my business. NBC is owned by GE and GE took bailout money. Ergo, I'm paying Chris Matthews. And I deserve to know that he's not being paid more than the Democrat-approved $250k a year. Otherwise, it's an outrageous abuse of taxpayer money and should be taxed at 90%.

I'm waiting for all the Congressional outrage at NBC salaries.

If it is good enough for AIG, it is good enough form NBC. Now how much of my tax money are both Christ Matthews and Keith Olbermann unjustly enriching themselves with – and what is Congress doing to get that cash back?

Also, IÂ’d love to know how that anonymous quote in the article is in compliance with the standards set by the New York Times for the use of anonymous sources, given the flouting of the policy noted by the paperÂ’s own public editor.
