How’s that for an endorsement? NBC News’ Chuck Todd is wasting no time reminding his Twitter followers that it’s NBC Entertainment, not NBC News, planning a four-hour miniseries about former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. On the plus side, the lack of input by NBC’s news division suggests a chance that the miniseries won’t be a total whitewash of Clinton’s career.
NBC announced earlier today that Diane Lane has signed on to play Clinton, and although no air date has been set, it will likely air before Clinton formally announces her bid for the White House.

CNN’s Jake Tapper feels Todd’s pain.
@chucktodd I went through this with ABC and The Path to 9/11. Good luck!!

What makes Chuck Todd think that people are going to complain about a four-hour Hillary Clinton drama conveniently timed to coincide with her presidential campaign? It sounds awesome.
NBC jumping in early on the 2016 race– will do a 4 hour miniseries on Hillary Clinton, starring Diane Lane

How many episodes of the 4-part Hillary miniseries will focus on Benghazi. Gotta be at least 2, right?

In the NBC Hillary movie, our heroine personally captures the YouTube filmmaker, then compels Susan Rice with the Lasso of Lies.
