First CNN, Now NBC Also Canceling Its Planned Hillary Clinton Miniseries
Mediaite ^ | 9/30/2013 | Josh Feldman

Shortly after CNN announced it was axing its Hillary Clinton documentary project, NBC has now released a statement saying its planned miniseries on the former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State has been called off.

NBC has not provided much in the way of explanation (whether this was due to public pressure or failed talks with production studios) save for this brief statement, according to TVNewser.

“After reviewing and prioritizing our slate of movie/mini-series development, we’ve decided that we will no longer continue developing the Hillary Clinton mini-series.”

NBC had previously hinted they wouldn’t be continuing on with the project. The network was in talks with Fox TV Studios to produce the miniseries, but Fox ended up pulling out of negotiations.

Whether or not the timing was planned or merely coincidental, both NBC and CNN ran afoul of the Republican National Committee with their planned Clinton projects, with the RNC voting to strip either network from hosting its debates if the projects were seen through. The projects also got some criticism from the left over concerns CNN and NBC would be too kind to critics of the Clintons in their respective projects.

While there was a lot of critical coverage of the projects in the conservative media, Bill O’Reilly actually called it weeks ago when he predicted neither project would end up getting made.

But now that their Clinton miniseries is officially dead, NBC can get back to other great projects, like bringing The Wizard of Oz to TV and making a sequel to the Bible. I wish I was joking about that one.

Does anyone else think its odd that these two separate projects, being planned independently of each other, were canceled on the same day????

A victim of the daily narrative, how ironic.

There is something going on in the Clinton Camp. They may not make it through the primaries. One could say, “they are jumping off before the band wagon gets rolling.”

Can I ask a stupid question?

One of these film makers said that he couldn’t get anyone to talk to him and cooperate on the record. It was expected to be a favorable view of Hillary. Why are people afraid to participate in a documentary about Hillary? Both political allies and political opponents of the Clintons clammed up. Why???

“No one will talk, according to today’s press.”

Which actually means they have found PLENTY of people willing to talk.
They just aren’t saying things that fit in to the Pre-approved Hillary narrative.

There has been talk that there was a major project in the works that money is being gathered to bash the major networks for their biases.. They have the facts down pat, with testimony, and the Majors know it..

I have been contacted to find post production crew members with right-wing leanings that would hold the details on the QT until the roll-out..

All of that being said, there is always rumors floating around about Hush, Hush Stuff, that is nothing more than talk.. These are serious folks that I know, and I really want this to be true, but we’ll see..

CNN, NBC? The only reason they would not proceed with the crowning of Hillary is because she told them not to.

This means she’s TOAST...?

The truth is the exact opposite:

The System UNDERSTANDS that Hillary is absolutely their best hope to preserve and protect what will remain of Progressivism after the Gay Muslim is finished and gone.

Everyone is either actively unwilling to sabotage the Liberal Savior To Be, or is TOO SCARED.

Which of those two is the truth? As the leopard never changes his spots, my guess is that it’s the latter.

Vince Foster, LD Brown, and many, many, many others —the list of the Eternally Silenced is impressively long, even by Dixie Mafia standards.

They say he was The Boy From Hope, but that was quaint-sounding BS —Bill was born in nearby Hot Springs, which was a mafia hideout favored by Al Capone cuz it had so many whores and gambling houses —Al would sneak down there when Chi-Town got too hot.

Which was pretty often.

“Hillary is TOAST...!” —only people deluding themselves say that.

We’ve heard that over 10,000 times.
