Kayleigh McEnany negotiating a Fox News deal while serving as White House press secretary was "shameful"

The Washington Post

According to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), McEnany wrote in her termination financial disclosure that she had an “employment agreement” with Fox News . But the cable news network said Tuesday, “Kayleigh McEnany is not currently an employee or contributor at Fox News.” Still, there's something wrong with McEnany negotiating a Fox News deal while only appearing on Fox News -- and not MSNBC and CNN, says Erik Wemple. "None of this is illegal," says Wemple. "Press secretaries may speak to whatever outlets they please, just like presidents. That’s their First Amendment right. Steering your misleading TV appearances to a single outlet, while neglecting your obligations to the rest of the press corps and negotiating an eventual paid gig — that’s an abdication of duty to the public."
