NBC News political director Chuck Todd on Thursday labeled the new NBC miniseries about Hillary Rodham Clinton a total nightmare for the networks news division adding another voice to the increasing backlash against the project.
This is why this miniseries is a total nightmare for NBC News, Todd said on MSNBCs Morning Joe. We know theres this giant firewall. We know that we have nothing to do with it. We know that wed love probably to be as critical or whatever it is going to be, if it comes out.
Todd added, though, that regardless of whether the Clintons or Republicans are upset with the portrayal, NBC News will pay the price.
No matter what, only we are going to own it, because people are going to see the peacock, and they see NBC, and they see NBC News, and they think, Well, they cant be that separate, Todd said.

One of the few MSM guys who still appears to have a few functioning brain cells.
Not buying it Chucky
NBC news gave up any pretense of objectivity way back in 2008, if not earlier. I don’t see why this would cause them any problems.
Imagine what that series would look like if they actually told the truth. OK, that was fun, back to reality now.
And he thought with Keith Olbermann, Ol’ Tingle and Ed Schulz they escaped any negative associations because the peacock didn’t appear?
Has he seen their ratings?
Oh, that’s right, at least for those the White Hut was compensating them with taxpayer dollars, just like CNN!

It’s too bad Marjorie Main has passed on. Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery would have been great a Bill and Hill.
Huma could have been played by any scrawny woman with a rather large mouth. Weener could be played by one of filmdom’s homeliest. Vince Foster could be played by DeCrapio while Craig Livingstone could be played by Gov. Christy.
I imagine all his colleagues at NBC News think this is just swell.
NBC does news? I thought they were just the propaganda organ for the regime.
Chuck...you have had your lips glued to Hillary’s considerable posterior for years.
You want to do a mini-series on Hillary...fine.
Let’s start in 1958 or so so we understand who her family was
include her time at college
her activities at the Rose Law Firm
Cattle futures
Vince Foster and the ensuing raid on the WH counsel’s office
What became of those missing documents that appeared in the WH two years after the subpena
Gennifer Flowers
Kathleen Willey
Monica Lewinski
Juanita Brodderick
your perjury,
your lousy memory for anything incriminating
right down to your what “difference does it make”.
It doesn’t need to be a total “Hit piece” but it shoudl be just as unflattering to Hillary, as it is glorifying.
Hillary’s life should be examined, cellulite and all.
Translation: “The entertainment Division is making it extremely difficult for us to disguise our subterfuge.”
Yes Todd.
IMHO he realizes that such a mini-series would result in massive loss of ad revenue. Any such loss would adversely effect his salary and job since he is “the head of NBC news”.
Todd understands that while making such a mini-series to please the liberal/socialist/progressive cabal the non-cabal members would adversely respond. So, Todd can either please his friends and lose his job when the news division goes under; or, he can keep his job and displease his friends.
Oh, what is a good liberal to do?
Not Chuck. He’s been a dem/lib suck up forever.
Cankels.
The life and loves of a nearsighted harpy.
Only one issue, Mr. Todd:
NBC DOES NOT CARE.
They are a State-run propaganda ministry, and if I am not mistaken, propaganda organs do not care about ratings or what people might think of them.
In fact, in this current era, I would expect NBC to simply ‘double down’.
Yeah, I know that would make me want to rush out and vote for her.
Nonsense! NBC is NBC. Its god is liberalism and its country is journalism. They are all a bunch of traitors!
A Hitlery miniseries is just another confirmation of this. Denials are nothing more than blatant confirmation of their contempt for We The People.
