Ten Thousand Demand Chris Matthews’ Suspension, MSNBC Silent

A MoveOn.org petition demanding that MSNBC suspend “Hardball” host Chris Matthews has garnered just under 10,000 signatures, even as the network has refused to address what Huffington Post called a “clear conflict of interest.”

The petition began in response to outrage over Matthews’ “constant shilling for Hillary Clinton.” The number of petition signees has almost tripled in size since The Daily Caller reported that Hillary Clinton’s biggest donors are bankrolling the congressional campaign of Matthews’ wife, Kathleen.

One woman who signed the petition said was “crying thinking ‘my’ media source is so biased.” Another petitioner called Matthews’ behavior an “egregious” conflict of interest. One man wrote: “I won’t be watching ‘Hardball’ any more, but MSNBC doesn’t care.” Many other signees added that they would no longer be watching MSNBC, citing Matthews’ “conflict of interest.”

Even some members of the media are calling for Matthews to be suspended. One Huffington Post article called the issue “ a low point” for MSNBC in a piece titled “Chris Matthews Has A Clear Conflict of Interest When it Comes To Bernie Sanders.” Others in the media have sounded similar notes. The American Spectator wrote: “Matthews has a blatant conflict of interest. Surely, he has a vested interest in the outcome of Hillary vs. Bernie.”
