Producer Cancels CNN Hillary Clinton Documentary, Whines that No One But Bill Clinton Would Talk to Him -- and Bill Clinton Told Him a Huge Lie!

Charles Ferguson’s Hillary biopic, which he was producing for CNN, is now canceled. The producer explains that someone inside CNN leaked word of the doc to Hillary’s camp, and they immediately formed up a palace guard around her.



So he and CNN decided to publicly confirm the film, only to have the Republican National Committee wage war against it. CNN earned the nickname “Clinton News Network” during the Clinton administration. The news network really had no business even appearing to produce an infomercial for a presidential candidate ahead of her run.

Then Media Matters’ David Brock made a slick move in Hillary’s defense, by claiming to agree with the RNC:


Brock’s interest was the same as Hillary’s own staff — palace guard defense.

Ferguson discussed the film with Bill Clinton this past summer. The former president re-wrote history before the man who would produce a documentary about his wife.




Bill Clinton certainly hasn’t grown up from his Slick Willy past. He remains, as fellow Democrat Bob Kerrey once said, an “unusually good liar.” The main difference between Clinton and his vice president, Al Gore, was always in their skill at telling whoppers.

At any rate, with no one but the Slick One willing to talk, there was no film to make. CNN doesn’t get to make this in-kind contribution to the Hillary campaign. It will surely find other ways to help her out, though.
