Hey, let the RNC block 'em. How many millions of viewers — and probable R voters — will not hear their message? These morons won't stop stabbing themselves in the eye, yet they cry that it hurts!

The media is going to do what brings in the most dough.
But it still begs the question. Is the series free publicity or is it not. I suppose a lot depends on the slant of the series.
There was mention of the film "W" but as I remember it wasn't very flattering of George W. and was after his terms. So in effect would have had amore positive effect for Democrts in general.
That said, I'm still interested in seeing it. She definitely has had an eventful career. I like her in some ways.

With respect to "W", the question is, is the negativity accurate and fair or is it extreme?
I think with "W" (never saw it), it's likely well deserved. Bush WAS horrible - not saying that just cause I'm more liberal than most GOP... but really, W ignored warnings for 9-11, invaded the wrong country, mismanaged that occupation, was responsible for the Great Recession of 2008... and many other things... like his sh!ty attitude- "you're with us or against us" all the lies he, Dick, Condi, and Rummy told... and these lies KILLED people including our own & cost us trillions... you get the picture. I mean they had SO much unflattering material to go with ! Like doing a movie on Atilla and not covering the massacres !!
BUT like CNN said, they're barely in production (scripting) and the GOP is going bonkers... they don't even know what'll be in it yet ! What about Hillary's try at HC in 1993-4, the Monica affair 1998, and possibly Benghazi ? It may not be all roses !! IF they do a decent job, it WON'T be... everyone has 2 sides. I think Hillary's is 90%+ positive, but everyone has mistakes they'd like to do over... well except W - he says he wouldn't change anything !! How's that for "unflattering" considering the outcomes of his actions ??
Let's assume that they make Hillary look like Joan of Arc in the series.. an angel from heaven. So what? It doesn't prove anything. They (GOP) can make a movie slanted in their candidates favor. Or are they saying they can't get anyones ear in Hollywood and they are completely ignored. I would find that to be ludicrous. Money talks.. and they have plenty of it.
They (GOP) can make a movie slanted in their candidates favor. . . .
Yeah you're right . . . but that'd be like putting lipstick on a Pig !!
Question is WHO will they pick ? Paul ? , Cruz ? , Rubicon...er Rubio ? I don't think they'll select anyone moderate or even close like Cristie... or Bush.. Rush, the TP, and the likes won't let them...and in the General Election, they'll look extreme like Bachmann, Palin, etc. i.e. ... lipstick on a Pig !!
