"Liberals complained noisily when Citizens United sought to air a pay-per-view documentary on Hillary Clinton prior to the 2008 election, and yet they're conspicuously silent now that a major news network will launch a documentary of its own."To paraphrase the RNC chair, "It's okay if we do it, but you can't do it, too."
But of course, it's all false equivalence -- not that you'd expect anything less from a political mouthpiece.
For the record, the objection over Citizens United was that a conservatively-biased outlet was releasing a fake documentary during a period (30 days before a primary and 60 days before a general election) that the McCain-Feingold Act had set up. These two Clinton documentaries are set for release in 2014, way before any primary or general election for the White House.
