Dear Mainstream Media, Disclose that you are a top campaign donator of Hillary Clinton

The Issue

Where can we, as Americans, get honest, unbiased news? Are we not entitled to that right? We shouldn't have to seek out independent internet news groups and forums to get honest news that isn't pushing a corporate agenda. 

If you have been following this primary election you might notice the MSM (mainstream media) has been clearly favoring Hillary Clinton since last year and treating Bernie Sanders as an "unelectable, radical" candidate, even though the latest national poll has Bernie Sanders ahead of her by 1% (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/24/bernie-sanders-pulls-even-with-hillary-clinton-in-a-new-poll-because-its-the-economy-stupid/ and beating republican candidates by way larger margins than Clinton as well (http://www.ibtimes.com/election-polls-2016-sanders-not-clinton-best-candidate-beat-trump-cruz-2341894

Right now the biggest election fraud in history since Bush/Gore/Florida is happening in Arizona. Over 700k citizens were turned away from voting or told they were registered incorrectly after waiting in line for over 5 hours. CNN & MSNBC are not giving this story sufficient airtime. The hundreds of thousands of people that were affected were overwhelmingly Sanders supporters. Clinton and the DNC has not even addressed this issue. Why is that? 

Why were people in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, and now Wisconsin, New York and several more upcoming states finding out their status has been changed to independent? Is it so they will be unable to vote unless they quickly change it back? This needs to be the #1 News story in the nation but it won't be. Why? Because it might hurt Clintons numbers and Clinton is a literal investment of these news stations. 

CNN is owned by Time Warner. Time Warner is a top 10 donator of Hillary Clintons campaign (https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cid=N00000019&cycle=Career 

NBC is owned by Charter. Here's an excellent little write up on their ties as well: http://bud-meyers.blogspot.com/2015/11/comcast-nbc-cnbc-and-msnbc-endorses.html

The Washington Post has clearly been favoring Clinton but has been reporting more fairly after being called out and doing an internal investigation after posting 16 negative stories about Bernie Sanders in 24 hours. They have written a great article on media bias as well: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2016/02/26/report-the-media-arent-telling-you-about-ties-of-pro-hillary-clinton-pundits/

Long story short, if you are watching a commercial it says the people are paid actors. If you are watching a youtube product video, the vlogger has to disclose if they were paid before uploading.

This petition is about you and your right to be informed with the facts when tuning into the news but I will mention one thing I have done. I called Time Warner yesterday and cancelled my Cable and Phone package and when asked why, I explained that they are a top 10 donator of Hillary Clinton and own CNN which has been assisting in rigging this election since last year and I don't want to be involuntarily contributing to the demise of democracy.

Tell MSN that enough is enough! If CNN or MSNBC is paying for a candidates campaign, they NEED to disclose it before reporting about them.

It was respectful journalism to have Jorge Ramos disclose that his daughter worked for Clintons campaign before starting the debate on Univision and he did a great and fair job. This shouldn't be an isolated example.

CNN, MSNBC and other corporations responsible for influencing Americans should see the clear conflict of interest and stop donating money to political candidates but if they continue to do so, they need to tell us. Please sign and share this petition!
