| [Huffpoo] The planned documentary on Hillary Clinton that caused CNN to be banned from 2016 Republican debates has been canceled, its director said on Monday. In a blog for HuffPost, Charles Ferguson said that it was a near total stonewalling by Clinton and her associates that caused him to pull out of the project, rather than any pressure from CNN: When I approached people for interviews, I discovered that nobody, and I mean nobody, was interested in helping me make this film. Not Democrats, not Republicans, 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 ...After painful reflection, I decided that I couldn't make a film of which I would be proud. And so I'm cancelling. (Not because of any pressure from CNN -- quite the contrary. I blame Benghazi cooties, Issa, and things to come. |

| #8 "I decided that I couldn't make a film of which I would be proud" Even if everybody cooperated, with Shrillery as the subject, you still couldn't make an actual documentary, or something to be proud of. |

| #5 If it were an honest documentary, I would say that she would not want it to air. Especially if she is planning to run for Prez. But then no one makes honest documentaries anymore. |

| #3 Richard, he is already a marked man. If (G*d forbid) Hildebeast wins in 2016, he can expect yearly IRS audits, EPA, ATF and other SWAT teams, and constant NSA surveillance. |

| #2 "Not because of any pressure from CNN -- quite the contrary." "No. Certainly not." And then his lips (and other body parts) fell off. Probably just as well due to his enlistment potential for the 'Billary Witness Erasure' program. |
