Hillary’s good for the GOP, the GOP’s better for Hillary — MSNBC:
"No one knows if the documentary planned by CNN and the mini-series planned by NBC Entertainment will be “extended commercials promoting former Secretary Hillary Clinton,” because they haven’t been made yet, and the latter doesn’t even have a script. (Also, the New York Times reported that Fox’s production company may make the Clinton film with NBC, though Fox News isn’t included in the resolution.)
Perhaps RNC Chairman Reince Priebus hopes to “put a thumb on the scales,” to borrow text from his resolution, and encourage the films to add material portraying Clinton in an unfavorable light in an attempt to be objective. On the other hand, since neither NBC Entertainment (separate from NBC News and NBC, but owned by the same corporate parent) nor CNN has indicated they’ll cancel the airing of films, what do they have to lose in making it however they please?"
