CNN Responds to Republicans Over Hillary Clinton Threat
Variety ^ | August 5, 2013 | Variety Staff

Posted on 08/05/2013 1:14:12 PM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

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.”

Clinton News Network is getting ready to plug more propaganda.
For 8 years they were Saddam Hussein’s propaganda face in the West; now they have decided to carry water for a new monster.

Then CNN should do documentaries on Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and, trying not to throw up a little, Chris Christie.

Apparently CNN is very worried about losing ANY viewers.

Actually, I think the biggest disservice to voters is the crappy candidates they keep sending up year after year.

sometime in the late 30s...the love for FDR just blossomed into a massive propaganda machine for the Marxists.

Letting CNN host the debates is a mistake anyway, and GOP falls for it every time.

It boggles my mind why the Republicans go along with enemy networks in debates and to top it off allow Liberal moderators. Makes no sense at all.

It’s high time to return to something akin to the tried and true Lincoln-Douglas style debates. No moderators, lots of appearances, no TV. Candidate-A speaks for an hour, Can-B for an hour, then a bit of rebuttal. Next city, Can-B goes first.

Of course the main reason this can not be is that the audience can NOT match the intelligence, interest, patience, and last and most important, virtue of an 1858 audience.

You know, the Communist News Network (CNN) could make a multi-part murder mystery series about a serial killer that removes her opponents - permanently - and name it “Madam Benghazi - the life of Hillary Rodham Clinton”.

Debate participation is more of a "disservice" you biased, DNC-sucking, libtard, CNN losers.

This documentary will be a non-fiction look...

No need to read any further. If it was a non-fiction look, Hillary wouldn't get more than a few hundred thousand votes.

Almost as great a disservice as a CNN 'reporter' trying to influence the outcome of a debate acting as a moderator.

sorry for being so verbose here; will the documentary include the mysterious suicide death of the hildahag's close friend Vince Foster? will it include the hildahag's involvement in the WACO Texas massacre of the Branch Dividian Christian Church members? will it include her ill gotten $100,000.00 pay off in a few days time from a $1,000 investment in the cattle futures? will it include who actually hired Greg Livingstone who stole over 1,000 FBI files of the Clinton's political enemies? will it include the hildahag's partnership in the Rose Law Firms criminal involvement in the Whitewater land scandal where the firms files went missing during a congressional inquiry and then turned up in the Clinton's WH living quarters over two years later? Oh gee, there is just too much evidence of corruption on the hildahag for me to keep listing here. Documentary film? No, clearly PROPAGANDA to cover the hildahag's entrenched criminality but although she clearly failed as Secretary of State and did nothing as a senator, some think she is qualified to be the President of the US?? Give us an effing break!! Her qualifications = she is neck deep in criminal activity and is a liar.

...will it cover
Her congressional amnesia episodes?
Her post-Benghazi brain damage?
Her lack of accuracy with thrown ashtrays?
Her outspoken love of F-cking J-w B-st-rds?
Her “ain’t no ways tarred” speech?
Her fluent use of the N-word?...

"The Democrats treat Fox News like the enemy. It’s time for the Republicans to act accordingly."

Sorry but I disagree. the time for that was 6 years ago. We have now passed the point of no return.
