While Rachel Maddow decries the network for firing Joy Reid and large swaths of news presenters, they conveniently leave out that Reid worked a fraction of the time her Fox counterparts did for a larger salary.

If Maddow really cares about the recently fired news staff, she’d forgo her $25 million annual salary and give it away, argues Victor Davis Hanson on this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“ As far as Joy Reid goes, she had an audience of about 150,000. … Everybody else had no idea what she—who she was or what she was saying. She was getting at $1.3 million dollars.

“ Very politically connected people have one rule, one protocol, one value judgment for all of us. And, they have no intention of following it themselves. They’re never subject to the consequences of their ideology.

“Do you realize, if you just said, ‘I, Rachel Maddow, tonight promise that I will work my 52 days this year for free, given the ample compensation I have received, and I will fund 250 staffers at MSNBC for $100,000 a year, given what I make, $25 million.’ Let’s just try that.”
