    So when fox news was promoting documentaries pushing disproven conspiracy theories about how obama is a anti-colonial terrorist (the irony being that the founding fathers were anti-colonial, since if they were pro-colonial, we would still be apart of the british empire, and would never have denonced our status as british colonies, declared independence, and went to war with britian in pursuit of being a soveirgn, independent nation free from the colonial empire of britian itself), then that was perfectly fine.

    but the moment news outlets, which are not wedded to stupid people who think their stupditiy makes them smarter than everyone else like fox news is, decides to do a documentary about an established and important person, all of a sudden thats bad.

    put it this way: RNC debates are nothing more than a bunch of babies trying to cry the loudest in a contest to see who hates blacks, hispanics, muslims, poor people, educated people, workers, the middle class, the founding fathers, gays, the constitution, women, unregulated-vaginas, job creation, economic growth, and black people the most.

    I can see where Priebus is coming from. CNN shouldn't be airing a program about a likely presidential nominee. That's not journalism.

    At the same time, I'm not sure an average undecided voter is going to be influenced to vote for Clinton because of a show, at least I'd hope not.

    Yeah, but everyone (logical people, anyway) knows that Fox and news is an oxymoron, and they're clearly biased.

    CNN should be held to a higher standard because they really don't tilt Democratic or Republican when compared to MSNBC and Fox. Then again, there's more money in pandering to people's viewpoints rather than challenging them, which is what journalism should be all about.
