RNC hits NBC, CNN for Hillary films; threatens to pull debate rights
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus has threatened to pull NBC and CNN's access to the 2016 Republican primary debates unless those companies pull their current Hillary Clinton-related film projects.In open letters to the leadership of NBC Universal and CNN International, Priebus expressed his "deep disappointment" over those networks' decisions to produce films "promoting former Secretary Hillary Clinton ahead of her likely candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016."
Should the networks fail to pull those films by the RNC's Summer meeting on August 14, Priebus writes, he will "seek a binding vote of the RNC stating that the committee will neither partner with you in 2016 primary debates nor sanction primary debates which you sponsor."
I'm not a big fan of either political party for various reasons, but honestly how freaking stupid can the Republicans be? Hillary Clinton is an interesting person from a historical perspective. The mere fact that NBC and CNN want to do specials on her does not automatically mean that theu are flacking for her, endorsing her or trying to tip the scales in any way. These threats by the RNC are particularly stupid since they haven't seen the productions. DUMB!
