LOL alert: Online petition calls for MSNBC to fire talking heads

... for being unfair to Hillary Clinton:

MSNBC and NBC have persisted in a pattern of slanting the news coverage of the Democratic Primary with regard to Senator Clinton. The coverage has been manipulated, biased and filled with half-truths and denigrating personal remarks aimed at Senator Clinton. A short list of the scores of abuses is below. Consequently, we have turned to CNN and other reputable news outlets for information and are currently not watching election or other coverage on MSNBC and NBC.

We the undersigned call upon NBC to suspend Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough and Keith Olberman [sic] until the Presidential Election is over, and to replace them with anchors who are capable of stating facts and not reciting false, inappropriate and sexist remarks. Senator Clinton, former First Lady, is deserving of the highest respect afforded to statespersons.

Once you're finished gasping at the utter chutzpah of this, you'll then wonder -- what about the coverage that "has been manipulated, biased and filled with half-truths and denigrating personal remarks" towards Republicans and conservatives?

Here's the full letter and petition. Have a good laugh!
