“Nobody, and I mean nobody, was interested in helping…” LOL! You know, I think people in general are tired of being lied to by politicians on both sides of the aisle. NBC was planning on the casting equivalent of a corkscrew landing in Bosnia with setting Diane Lane as Hillary from 1998 to now. In truth, the best casting would have been Ethel Merman or even Ethel Mertz, but what do I know?

Now CNN has caved on its Hillary Clinton documentary. Just weeks after NBC issued a statement saying its Hillary Clinton miniseries – which was the biggest bit of news at its Summer TV Press Tour 2013 appearance – was after all only a project in development and might never see the light of day (translation: don’t hold your breath) – CNN let it be known its CNN Films division had informed the mothership it had decided not to move ahead on its Clinton docu – because the director had bowed out.

“Charles Ferguson has informed us that he is not moving forward with his documentary about Hillary Clinton … [W]e won’t seek other partners and are not proceeding with the film,” CNN Worldwide told Politico. In one of those incredible coincidences that makes this industry so interesting, Ferguson wrote a blog post that is published in Huffington Post today in which he complained pressure from Clinton’s camp and the Republican National Committee led many of his prospective interviewees to give him a “no dice” response to appearing in the docu. He expresses surprise to discover “that nobody, and I mean nobody, was interested in helping me make this film. Not Democrats, not Republicans — and certainly nobody who works with the Clintons, wants access to the Clintons, or dreams of a position in a Hillary Clinton administration. Not even journalists who want access, which can easily be taken away. I even sensed potential difficulty in licensing archival footage from CBN (Pat Robertson) and from Fox. After approaching well over a hundred people, only two persons who had ever dealt with Mrs. Clinton would agree to an on-camera interview, and I suspected that even they would back out.”

I understand why conservatives felt this would be unfair leading into 2016, but interesting how everyone associated with Hillary were so afraid. Gee, why do you think that is?
