CNN issued a statement on Monday in response to The Republican National Committee’s threat to boycott the cable network during the 2016 presidential debates, in addition to NBC, over their upcoming Hillary Clinton documentaries.
The network called the move, spearheaded by RNC chairman Reince Priebus, a “disserve to voters.”
“CNN Films, a division of CNN Worldwide, commissioned a documentary about Hillary Clinton earlier this year. It is expected to premiere in 2014 with a theatrical run prior to airing on CNN. This documentary will be a non-fiction look at the life of a former First Lady and Secretary of State. Instead of making premature decisions about a project that is in the very early stages of development and months from completion, we would encourage the members of the Republican National Committee to reserve judgment until they know more. Should they decide not to participate in debates on CNN, we would find it curious, as limiting their debate participation seems to be the ultimate disservice to voters.”

Like CNN is doing us a favor by having our candidates on.
In other words, “you ain’t goin’ nowhere, you ain’t got the stones, and everybody knows it.”
1: CNN has no viewers, so we’re not missing much.
2: “as limiting their debate participation seems to be the ultimate disservice to voters.” What does this mean? Are they going to hold a debate with just Hillary in attendance? Of course not. It just means CNN won’t be hosting anything. Their ratings will be even worse crapola.
Preibus knew this would be the result and has now adeptly created an issue for his next revenue email to the Party faithful. That was always his intent with this stunt.
I’ll eat my words if the RNC follows through in 2016.
It's time for the Republicans to act accordingly. They have expected the state-run media to "play fair", and have been shafted at every opportunity.
After the last set of Presidential "debates", the Republican Party should refuse to participate at all unless a non-partisan moderator is selected and has absolutely no role except for time-keeper.
I believe the voting public in this country lost it’s way when the media crawled in bed with democrats/liberals.
When was that?
“...limiting their debate participation seems to be the ultimate disservice to voters.
It’s been eons, if ever, since there’s been a televised presidential debate that has been a service to voters, and that has never happened on CNN.
It’s not really necessary to see the final production. It’s not as if the network doesn’t have a history, i.e., Tailwind, for viewers to understand its agenda.
And since it looks like the general election will just be a coronation of Queen Hillary[!] with Christie as the designated RINO loser, what difference will it make?
We’ll know real fast if it is fiction or not when they discuss the abuse of 1,500 raw FBI files that Hitlary had, or her explanation of those Missing Rose Law Firm Billing records that no one could find until the day after the statute of Limitation passed and they ended up on her Office Desk with HER fingerprints on them.
Yeah, non-fiction my ass.
Reince will back down.
Letting CNN host the debates is a mistake anyway, and GOP falls for it every time.
In any case, if GOP blows the current immigration and Obamacare fights, I’ll “boycott” the lot of them. Reince may or may not recognize it, but he may be the last GOP chairman as his party self-destructs.
1850’s or earlier. Obvious in the 1960’s.
The RNC should flatly state - now - that the 2016 Republican presidential nominee will not appear on any debate held by CNN or NBC due to it’s obvious bias (the Hillary Clinton bio flick). Use Fox News - exclusively - and don’t allow NBC or CNN personnel to serve as debate moderators. Of course, that won’t happen. The RNC will cave to NBC and CNN and look like the wimps they are. This is why conservatives are fed up with the semi-liberal RNC hierarchy.
The Democrats treat Fox News like the enemy.
It’s time for the Republicans to act accordingly.
Bingo!!
No one is scared of the GOP-e, Why should CNN be scared.
Good idea no matter what.
Stopped right there. This documentary will be a spin job of cherry-picked data about a power-mad and totally corrupt former First Lady and Secretary of State.
I’ll bet serious money they won’t document the dereliction she committed in reference to Benghazi.
