YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"Ann Curry has asked NBC News executives to release her from her contract so that she can accept a "high-profile anchor position" at CNN, RadarOnline reported exclusively on Monday.

A source close to the situation told the site, "She has formally asked her attorney to explore exit options from the network. However, NBC bosses have indicated they are unwilling to release Ann from the contract."*

Ann Curry, months after being demoted from Today, is trying to get NBC to release her from her contract so she could potentially take another job, but the network isn't budging. Haven't they gotten enough bad publicity for being 'unfair' to her? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss.
