WTF!?!?

The puppet theater gets stranger by the day.

Waaaaaaaa It's not fair....... I not gonna play with you anymore...... I'm tellin' my Dad..... waaaaaa.....

Sheesh. Politics has really hit the gutter and slipped into the sewer system.

I think the GOP has more to lose than CNN does in this deal.

Maybe the GOP could commission a program on the successes of the GOP under the G W Bush administration...no, wait,...the commercials would run longer than the program itself...

It is very telling the GOP is so concerned about intra-party and candidate sniping in the course of the debates. The only thing more politcally divided than the general population or the Congress is the GOP. With all the noisy and noisome factions in the GOP, they would do better to find some means of exerting some form of cohesiveness rather than attempting a pitiful PR stunt likely to backfire on themselves. It would also serve them well to ditch the rather outdated and out of touch pundits and advisers like Rove...

What are they so afraid of in regard to a Clinton documentary?

Maybe, since their filibuster of Obama's first term went bust in their faces, they don't want to chance that a "woman" might take the prized seat away from them for another four years in 2016.
They have made their feelings known about women and Obama abundantly clear for the last eight plus years and knowing full well that they can't come up with a winning candidate after the last debacle. So, they'll resort to childish tantrums and ultimatums for the next cycle? What a bunch of sad pathetic little people the GOP has become.

On a side note, the next senatorial election cycle officially kicked off at the Fancy Farm BBQ in Kentucky over the weekend. Mitch McConnell decided not to attend. Matt Bevin, one of the Tea Partyish candidates for his office stated that he's not going to Mitch's left or right, he's going right over the top of him.

Maybe it's; when the media starts courting one political party (and consequently it's ideals) over the other, especially involving a potential presidential candidate, it serves as an example for the definition of "propaganda".

Noun: propaganda
1. Information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause

Noun: propagandist
1. A person who disseminates messages calculated to assist some cause or some government

Adjective:propagandist
1. Of or relating to or characterized by propaganda

The media should restrict it's involvement in politics to objective/impartial reporting and/or debates. Not glamorizing or glorifying any politician or party.

I don't see how NBC or CNN can be considered as anything besides propaganda outlets for the Democrats. These two pieces on Hillary are clearly designed to enhance her image going into the next presidential election.

So Wolferz why exactly should the Republicans treat these organizations like legitimate media?
