I don't think there is a point to be made here. So NBC is paying Fox to produce a miniseries to be aired on NBC. NBC is the driving force behind it. In America we tend to shun secondary boycotts.
The Republicans even once made it illegal for Unions to participate in secondary boycotts. It actually seems like the Republicans are being consistent.
Candy Crowley is just upset that she may lose an opportunity to interject herself into the debate with distortions to help the Democrats.
they all want people to think its a huge deal, bigger then life and the herd will buy it hook line and sinker because they are told....the herd is totally predictable and does exactly what its told, so there are dollars to be made. Make hay while the sun shines. The dumb herd is the great joy of the news outlets, talk media and politicians, a money making group who work silently together without words, and a known common ground objective in dollars.
As a strong conservative I can not see myself supporting any of the so called front running republicans.
Romney ended the republican party of me. Romney, a milk toast of a man weak and standing for nothing.
Who will republicans run I wonder, will they dig up the dead rotting corpse of Bob Dole so he can once again run as a moderate? Perhaps Jeb Boooosh so we can have yet another boooosh in the white house?
I still can't believe I voted for McCain I used to be a republican but am not longer, McCain ended it for me.
What a creepy little snail yet these are the kinds of "men" the modern repuke party was to saddle me with.
Among former republicans I know I am not alone and I feel Hilary will be an easy win.
thanks to the millions who stayed home for the last election
while all of you making a stand
we ended up with four more years of president bozo
make sure you sit out the next election too
we have the dirt bags today because
people are too frigging lazy to vote or they keep voting for the same jerks that got us in this mess and that goes for both parties

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has called for a boycott of CNN and NBC over their planned Clinton and Hilary movies. When it was pointed out that Fox will produce the NBC mini-series he said:
“The big question for me, Candy, is number one, which company is putting it on the air? Who is doing the work? I'm not interested if they're using the same caterer or whether they all drink Diet Coke and I'm not boycotting Diane Lane,†Priebus said.
When Crowley pointed out that a film’s production company includes the “people that write, produce and put together the shows,†Priebus maintained his stance that networks which air the projects should remain the primary subjects of his boycott.
So where is the hypocrisy? His explanation is perfectly reasonable.
If NBC pulls out of the project and then FOX goes ahead with it and airs it, then you may have a point. As it stands, you don't.
DO you even know what a producer IS?
(apparently not)
The producer is the one RESPONSIBLE for the CONTENT (ie for the finished product). This is why a "Best Picture" Oscar - for example - doesn't go to the lead actor or the director (they have their own award categories), it goes to the PRODUCER(S). If Fox is producing this, then Fox is the brains behind it - more than any other entity, Fox will be responsible for the content.

Romney got a million more votes than McCain did. Millions didn't sit the election out, your base of voters is shrinking.
Romney got 2.5 Million more votes than McCain and Obama lost 1.3 Million votes from 2008 to 2012.
The Republicans are growing and the Democrats are shrinking, OMG!
No, the point is millions didn't sit out the election. You can act like the demographic shift isn't going to continue benefit democrats, I actually enjoy watching yall bury your heads in the sand.
