Ellen Malcolm -- the president of EMILY's List and a top adviser to Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY - has written a letter to NBC Senior VP Phil Griffin, telling woman-hating and Obama-loving MSNBC to STOP THE MISOGYNY:
For months, women and men from all over the country have been telling me about their anger at MSNBC’s treatment of women, especially Senator Hillary Clinton. Now, just yesterday, David Shuster talked about 'pimping out Chelsea.' That is completely reprehensible.
I'm sending this letter today to let you know that the misogynistic pattern in the reporting by your network must come to an end. I know I speak for millions across this country when I demand that you take immediate steps and publicly tell us what you will do to eliminate this sexist and demeaning culture that has become so pervasive in your network.
The half hearted apology by Mr. Shuster this morning fails to even acknowledge the insulting nature of his comments. Your tolerance for this behavior speaks volumes about the corporate culture of MSNBC. If you refuse to take action, women across the country, viewers, sponsors, and consumers can only assume your implicit endorsement of this type of sexist commentary on women and repugnant treatment of our children.
Shorter version: "All I said was that Hillary was whoring out her daughter. I'm really sorry if YOU took it the wrong way."
