GOP warns NBC and CNN to stop promoting Hillary Clinton
by Joseph Earnest August 5, 2013
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus sent a letter to Robert Greenblatt, Chairman of NBC Entertainment, and Jeff Zucker, President of CNN Worldwide, calling on their networks to cancel their attempts to influence Americans' political decisions.
Both
networks are airing programs promoting former Secretary Hillary Clinton
ahead of her likely candidacy for president in 2016. NBC has announced
plans to air a miniseries, while CNN is producing a documentary. If the
productions are not canceled prior to the start of the RNC's Summer
Meeting, Chairman Priebus will seek a binding vote of the RNC to prevent
the committee from partnering with these networks in 2016 primary
debates or sanctioning debates they sponsor.
"It's appalling
to know executives at major networks like NBC and CNN who have donated
to Democrats and Hillary Clinton have taken it upon themselves to be
Hillary Clinton’s campaign operatives," said Chairman Priebus.
"Their actions to promote Secretary Clinton are disturbing and disappointing. I hope Americans will question the credibility of these networks and that NBC and CNN will reconsider their partisan actions and cancel these political ads masked as unbiased entertainment. If they have not agreed to pull this programming prior to the start of the RNC's Summer Meeting on August 14, I will seek a binding vote stating that the RNC will neither partner with these networks in 2016 primary debates nor sanction primary debates they sponsor."
