The Women's Media Center (WMC) has launched a petition targeting what they say is sexist media coverage on the major cable news networks. The group, whose board includes Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem and former PBS President and current Museum of Television & Radio President Pat Mitchell, combined the online petition with a YouTube video of news clips they posted, "Sexism Might Sell, But I'm Not Buying It!"
