RNC's Priebus threatens networks - The Maddow Blog

Interesting "strategy" as one commenter points out, "That’s why this is a win/win for old Priebus. If the networks cave and don’t air the HRC documentaries; he wins. If the networks are punished and don’t air the Republican primary debates; he wins. Since the 2016 clown car appears to be even more entertaining than 2012, Reince is just doing what he can to minimize damage and protect the GOP brand."

NBC and CNN are planning to run specials on Hillary Clinton in the not-too-distant future, and it appears Republican Party officials aren't taking the news well.

The chairman of the Republican National Committee threatened on Monday to refuse to partner with CNN or NBC on any presidential primary debates if the two networks move ahead with plans for television projects on Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Reince Priebus, the chairman, said in letters to the two networks that he considered the projects to be a "thinly-veiled attempt at putting a thumb on the scales of the 2016 presidential election."
