Wow, I actually agree with Teddy that the NBC Hillary movie and the CNN Hillary report, both scheduled right before the presidential election, are bad ideas.
While Teddy assumes that they will both be big wet kisses to Clinton, I think it is just as likely that they will be the opposite: that they will be like Teddy’s rehash of every pre-fabricated narrative about Hillary that the right-wing echo-chamber has ever come up with, and probably a few new ones for good measure.
Whatever the plans are and whatever slant they may take, I don’t think either of these shows will be helpful to voters. It will be a distraction from the real issues.
