Cover Bernie or Lose Viewers
Chris Matthews and all executives at MSNBC:
Your marginalization of Bernie Sanders has been noticed. But the fact is though, that America wants Bernie. Your viewers want Bernie.
This petition is intended to show you how many viewers you will lose if you don't start covering Bernie more fairly, because we pledge to stop watching until Bernie is given fair coverage.
This means doing your homework and reporting the facts. This means reporting that he is winning in NH and taking Iowa by storm. This also means acknowledging that he has record crowd sizes that dwarf what ANY of the other candidates can pull.
Treat Bernie as a candidate who is equally worthy and has an equal right to run without being marginalized by the media, and cover Bernie without bias and without leaving out important information about him--and maybe you won't lose as many viewers (at least as many) who have signed this petition!

Why is this important?
Enough is Enough!
MSNBC has been downplaying, marginalizing, and downright ignoring Bernie for too long.
Now Chris Matthews is falsely making the race out to be between Biden and Hillary, and Biden has not even announced! Not only that, but he's even implying- with staged polls that obviously do not reflect what the real polls say--that Biden will easily beat Bernie!
The media can keep putting their spin on things. While they do that, we will not only get Bernie into office, we'll stop watching MSNBC completely!
They will notice their viewing stats drop. Then maybe they will see reason.
