"The Republican National Committee has demanded that NBC halt production on its planned Hillary Clinton biopic. The network recently announced plans for a drama starring Diane Lane as Clinton, who is affiliated with the Democratic Party.  The RNC sent letters to both NBC&amp;#039;s entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt and CNN&amp;#039;s Jeff Zucker - who is planning a Clinton documentary - threatening to &amp;quot;neither partner with these networks in a 2016 primary debates nor sanction primary debates they sponsor&amp;quot;, according to Deadline. RNC chair Reince Priebus accused both channels of being &amp;quot;Hillary Clinton campaign operatives&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;Out of a sense of fairness and decency and in the interest of the political process and your company&amp;#039;s reputation, I call on you to cancel this political ad masquerading as an unbiased production.&amp;quot; CNN later responded to the RNC&amp;#039;s threats in its own statement, urging the organisation not to make &amp;quot;premature decisions about a project that is in the very early stages of development and months from completion&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;We would encourage the members of the Republican National Committee to reserve judgment until they know more,&amp;quot; the statement reads. &amp;quot;Should they decide not to participate in debates on CNN, we would find it curious, as limiting their debate participation seems to be the ultimate disservice to voters.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
