has been shamelessly peddled by the US media ... probably the worst offender is the NBC/MSNBC network” |
Take this ONE simple action now: join the mailing list so we can notify you when the site is fully functioning. Let us know how else you want to be involved in the comments section of the form. There’s a place to share some friends’ emails too. FIGHT BACK against the completely unacceptable, unprofessional, reprehensible, over-the-top actions, attitudes, words and behaviors of MSNBC/NBC and their elitist, smirking, condescending on-air employees and the cherry-picked biased talking head pundits. If we don’t do it, nothing will ever change. Now is the time. Exercise YOUR Freedom of Speech by sending a loud message that we are sick and tired of rich, pampered, smug, elitist Washington and New York egomaniacs (who can’t get enough of hearing their own voices) telling us what to think, believe, feel and especially how to vote! They don’t represent us or reflect the voices of (at least )18 million of us. Join us today. Yes, we can and we will send a mighty and powerful message!Take a stand and join — participate and help to create a community which takes immediate action. You can begin by taking these two simple CONCRETE ACTIONS:
Instead of becoming apathetic or feeling powerless, let’s do something together to harness and target the anger, fury and disgust we have all felt due to the myriad and unrelenting ways Hillary Clinton, her supporters, and ALL voters who thought VOTERS should decide have been slimed during the past 15 months. While others listen to lofty abstract speeches and while (or whether) the nattering smug bloviators continue with their unrelenting character assassination of Senator Hillary Clinton AND HER SUPPORTERS, we will make a difference together! Yes, we will. “
The danger is that, in their headlong rush to stop the first major female candidate (aka "Hildebeast" and "Hitlery") from becoming president, the punditocracy may have landed the Democrats with perhaps the least qualified presidential nominee ever.‡ ” Something else to keep in mind: you can also send a powerful message to the elitist backroom dealers and so-called ‘leaders’ of the anti-democracy democrat party To paraphrase Howard Beale, a much more preferable fictional news anchor from the film Network:

Dear Furious and Appalled Hillary supporters and fair-minded citizens: Clarion call to the Women and Men who believe in fairness and democracy — voters and citizens of all Walks of Life — Supporters of Senator Hillary Clinton — and all those who have been appalled by the despicable, unprofessional, biased, demeaning treatment of Senator Clinton (and her supporters) — especially and most notoriously by MSNBC, NBC news and their election divisions. Here are some of Brit Andrew Stephens insightful observations from a recent New Statesman article:
No matter what the outcome of the November 2008 elections, no matter whom you choose to cast your vote for (or write in) in November 2008, this much is clear: MSNBC and NBC must be targeted and punished for their over the top, vicious, sexist, classist, cruel, ugly, demeaning, contemptuous UN-AMERICAN, unfair, unprofessional, unrelenting and blatantly biased treatment against Senator Hillary Clinton (and her supporters) and blatantly in favor of Barack Obama during this unprecedented historic quest for the presidency! Both candidates were groundbreaking history-making trailblazers, but you would never know it when tuning in to hear the various talking heads on the MSNBC and NBC political news and election coverage. You already know exactly what we’re talking about. Did we mention vitriolic and venomous?
In fact, the elite nattering nabobs and arrogant, smug punditocracy continue to make little if any attempt conceal their utter contempt and undisguised snobbery and pointy-nosed sneering at American voters: seniors, working class, poor, hard-working, middle-aged, farmers, rural, suburban, rust-belt, appalachian, blue-collar, waitresses, secretaries, truck drivers, latinos, black Hillary supporters, church-goers, law abiding gun-owners, non-elites, young people, independents and all those other citizens who supported Senator Clinton — WOMEN and MEN — whom they continue to derisively refer to as un-educated and as bigots. That’s how they refer to us, the 17.9 million American citizens and primary VOTERS who have supported/continue to support Senator Clinton and those who have believed — and insisted — it is up to VOTERS to decide who will be the candidates, not the arrogant punditocracy and the smug talking heads of the elite, biased media.
The best way to stand up to the unabating B.S. is to BOYCOTT — stop watching — MSNBC and NBC and specifically target their smarmy, smug arrogant, misogynist, cowardly, warped, Obama-cheerleading biased pundits, the cowardly spineless dittohead stenographers masquerading as faux journalists, undisguised Obama shills and the disingenuous, dishonest, biased analysists (purposefully stacked in Obama’s favor) who went out of their way to denigrate Senator Clinton AND HER SUPPORTERS in such demeaning, sneering, condescending and ugly terms (using tired, clichéd, ugly stereotypes, dehuhmanizing terminology and vicious character assassinations which would have caused them to be fired on the spot had they spoken about Obama, people of color, Jews, gays, disabled or several other ‘minority’ groups in similarly despicable ways). And — STOP BUYING — let their advertisers know exactly why you and your family will not be buying their products or services while this boycott is in effect. We need to make sure the energy and momentum are harnessed and targeted. Help us get this off the ground by showing you’re ready and willing to take a stand, to have your voice heard! ‡Read the entire insightful article by Andrew Stephen at the New Statesman online. Sometimes it takes an outsider to offer some clarity against the utter lack of journalistic (using that word very loosely) objectivity. |

Update: Some of the MSNBC/NBC advertisers to boycott that we’ve identified so far:
Rachel Sklar at Huffington Post wrote about the continuing sexist bluster, bloviating and excuse-making by Olberboy, particularly his sexist hypocritical rant against Katie Couric’s Reporter’s Notebook (see video above). Leave a positive comment for Rachel and don’t forget to leave this website URL in your comment! Go here for the story by Sklar: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/12/katie-couric-is-rubber-an_n_106714.html And of course, there’s a recent NY Times article which acknowledges and discusses the media bias and sexism against Senator Clinton (and her supporters), and the boycott movement against NBC and MSNBC. Our sincerest condolences go out the family and friends of Tim Russert, Washington Bureau Chief of NBC News.
