Come On Republicans, Seriously?

If this is the best threat the GOP has in regards to the Hillary Clinton political campaign documentaries, then the GOP is not taking this seriously.
From the Chicago Tribune: Republicans are threatening to boycott 2016 presidential debates sponsored by networks CNN and NBC unless the networks cancel plans for special programs on Democrat Hillary Clinton, a possible 2016 White House contender.
In letters Monday to executives for NBC Entertainment and CNN Worldwide, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said the programs amounted to political ads for Clinton, whose long public life has included serving as first lady, U.S. senator from New York and, most recently, secretary of state.
Priebus asked the companies to scrap plans by August 14 for the CNN documentary film, due to premiere next year, and the NBC miniseries on Clinton, expected to air in 2015.
"As an American company, you have every right to air programming of your choice," Priebus wrote to NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt and CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker.
"But as American citizens, certainly you recognize why many are astounded at your actions, which appear to be a major network's thinly veiled attempt at putting a thumb on the scales of the 2016 presidential election."
Priebus said if CNN and NBC went ahead with the Clinton shows, he would seek a binding RNC vote that the Republican Party would not work with the two networks on its 2016 primary debates or sanction the debates sponsored by them.  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/sns-rt-us-usa-politics-clinton-20130729,0,4100186.story
I'm sure CNN and especially NBC are saying to themselves  "Is that it?"
Debates get poor ratings and if NBC plays the "Hillary Chronicles" next to it, her ratings would swamp the GOP debates.  That and just about every other show would swamp the GOP debates.
Now, if the GOP wanted to get CNN and especially NBC's attention, they would refuse advertise any campaign commercials on both the national network and the local networks.  That would actually hurt CNN and NBC.  And that would go for any GOP candidate.
But the GOP doesn't have the guts to do that.
This reminds me of this scene from Animal House:
