Michael Steele was such a nice guy, too.

CNN host Candy Crowley on Sunday confronted Republican National Committee Chairman (RNC) Reince Priebus and asked him why he was not pulling GOP debates off of the Fox News Channel after it was revealed that Fox Television studios may be producing a Hillary Clinton miniseries.

In letters to NBC Entertainment and CNN last week, Priebus had threatened to not allow the networks to host any Republican presidential primary debates unless plans to air shows about Clinton were scrapped.

But The New York Times reported on Friday that Fox Television Studios, the sister company of Fox News, was in talks to produce the miniseries for NBC.

During an interview on Sunday, CNN host Candy Crowley asked Priebus if Fox News should be subject to the same scrutiny as NBC and CNN.

Priebus later explained to Fox News host Sean Hannity that he as attempting to “control the referees” because CNN and NBC were “not in the business of promoting our party.”

I guess we can only conclude FOX is most certainly in the business of promoting the GOP. Unfortunately, (for the RNC) they are also in the business of making movies. I can just imagine Rupert Murdoch commiserating with Mr Priebus: “Nothing personal, Reince, its just business.”

You can’t make this stuff up. Is anybody in charge over there?

Watch the video. Watching Reince trying to weasel his way out of this is priceless. I love Candy.
