RNC chair complains about Hillary biopics: ‘We have to control the referees’
Source: Raw Story
Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus decried two upcoming biographical film projects involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday, as well as what he and Fox News host Sean Hannity characterized as a traveling circus debate schedule involving GOP candidates.
We have to control the referees that were bringing into our playground, Priebus told Hannity. Right now I cant trust two organizations that are willing to spend millions of their own dollars in promoting a candidate that they know is gearing up to run for president.
Both NBC and CNN announced upcoming films on Clinton, a potential front-runner for the Democratic Party nomination in 2016 if she enters the race, prompting Priebus to threaten to boycott both networks.
I think its just about time that our party stands up and protects the party and our candidates from networks that are not in the business of promoting our party, Priebus said to Hannity. Theyre not in the business of promoting our candidates. Theyre not in the business of doing anything but promoting the Democratic party, and Im not gonna sit around and watch this happen anymore.

Funny part is that their candidates need CNN - NBC more than CNN and NBC needs to have their debates. If the candidates get no exposure, no one knows who they are.

If you were willing to fight for that, then what's the problem?
