The NBC News revolt against the upcoming miniseries about Hillary Clinton continued on Thursday, with Andrea Mitchell and Robert Gibbs calling it a "bad idea":
ANDREA MITCHELL: I want to ask you about Reince Priebus, because you have been involved in the debate prep and debate negotiations and here you’ve got the Republican Chairman and I would say understandably miffed about these Hillary Clinton films and one is a documentary, the other an entertainment film which is, you know, all about --
ROBERT GIBBS: A bad idea. A bad idea.
MITCHELL: And a lot of the news people would say including NBC news people, including Chuck Todd and all of the rest of us a really bad idea given the timing, but what is he doing? Is this a brush back pitch?
GIBBS: Well, he is doing two things he’s most assuredly working the refs. I want to split the two issues, because I think that there are a lot of people who saw the stories about the entertainment divisions in CNN and NBC doing these things and find that to be unsettling and uncomfortable.
