The networks have finally pulled the plug on those broadcasts. It took a long time to get here but the changes we demanded are finally in place. Keep an eye on the screen because we need to make sure they actually stay gone.

We the members of the American viewing audience do hereby request the removal of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann from the MSNBC schedule and Anderson Cooper from the CNN schedule permanently. Our reasons are the unfair and bias reporting during the Democratic nominating campaign during 2007 and 2008. At this point, who ever wins the nomination will not sway our request and these men who have been acting as press agents for Barack Obama in an attempt to secure his nomination, need to be removed from the cable channels in question. As the viewing public, we have decided that simply turning off their shows is not sufficient and they should be punished for using the own shows as a soap box to help elect Obama. They have offered free air time for the Obama campaign while insulting, belittling and criticizing Mrs. Clinton. This is not fair reporting and for these pundits to give so much free campaign time to one particular candidate is basically trying to sway the election toward the networks\' choice. All those who sign this petition, there are many sponsors shown on MSNBC and CNN. You must take a moment to view some of the commercials being broadcast. Send out bulk emails to those who do broadcast commercials on both networks and inform them that their products will be boycotted until action is taken against the above mentioned commentators. The more emails they receive and the more signatures on this petition, the more apt they are to pull their sponsorships of those men. As the viewing public, it is time we prove to Matthews, Olbermann and Cooper that we will decide whether they should keep their jobs or not. They believe they can do as they please and it is time they learn differently. Please sign. We will be sending this petition to MSNBC, CNN and the entire list of sponsors on August 1, 2008, just before the Democratic Convention in hopes that these men will not be allowed to appear on air as Obama\'s press agents at said convention. Thank you

The emails I receive from you all show just how deeply this bias has damaged trust in these networks. I am exhausted by the constant uphill climb against these media giants, but the stories you share about why you are pulling your support keep me going. We have to keep this pressure up because they are clearly hoping we will simply tire out and go away.
