Yep, No Media Bias Here

From the Houston Chronicle: A Hillary Rodham Clinton miniseries timed to precede the 2016 presidential election is part of NBC's effort to create "event" programming that will draw viewers to the shrinking world of broadcast network TV, NBC's programming chief said Saturday.
"We need to be in the event business. I think you're going to hear that from every broadcast network," said Bob Greenblatt, NBC Entertainment chairman.
The four-hour miniseries "Hillary," starring Diane Lane as the former first lady and secretary of state, is one such bid for distinctive programming, he said.
The goal is to woo viewers who are increasingly drawn away by cable TV's eye-catching, critically acclaimed fare like "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" and other media choices.
Broadcasting's audience is shrinking by 4 percent to 7 percent annually, Greenblatt told a meeting of the Television Critics Association.
"Anything that can shake up the landscape and say, 'we have something special'" would be considered part of the varied group of event projects, he said.  http://www.chron.com/entertainment/television/article/NBC-to-air-Hillary-Clinton-miniseries-4690813.php?cmpid=hpts

Benghazi- Skipped.
Foreign policy disaster: Skipped
Monica Lewinski: Skipped
Hillary Care: Skipped
A poor embarrassed wife: Oh yeah, put that in.
And who to play Bill Clinton?  Pee Wee Herman or Anthony Weiner?

  1. I vote for Darrell Hammond for Clinton.

    But I'm not so sure that this would work in Hillary's favor. Though I'm not sure your side has a candidate that can beat her. Christie? Maybe, but the hardcore right hates him.

  2. Well, you maybe right about the GOP, except Christie may run as a Democrat.
