OBJECTIVE
Get MSNBC to restore Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as co-anchors of political night coverage
TERMS

If this objective is met by November 5, 2008, then we will make MSNBC our primary source of election news.

THE PITCH

If you haven’t heard, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews were removed as MSNBC’s anchors for political night coverage . This seems to come from long standing tensions regarding bias in their reporting and specifically this moment during the RNC. The point of this campaign is to show MSNBC executives there is a demand for the type of reporting Olbermann and Matthews provide. All news is biased in one way or another, but this pair at least occasionally provides some refreshingly different perspectives.

Unlike a petition, as this campaign grows, it will send a message to MSNBC that their ratings will increase dramatically the second they decided to undo this decision.
