[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Taking a page out of liberal protests targeting Fox News' "Hannity" show, a top conservative group opened a campaign Wednesday targeting six MSNBC and four CNN political shows for skewing left.
"Today we are putting ten shows, and their major corporate sponsors on notice that we are watching their every move," said Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center.
"We are putting the radical left on notice that we are on to them," he added.
The targeted shows on MSNBC are "Politics Nation with civil rights hustler Al Sharpton
...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor...
," "Hardball with  Chris My Thigh is Tingling! Matthews
... the late Tip O'Neill's former gopher who has magazines with centerfolds of Barack Obama in his bathroom...
," "All In With Chris Hayes," "The Rachel Maddow Show," "The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell," and "AM Joy."
MRC also hits CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360," "CNN Tonight With Don Lemon," "Reliable Sources," and "Fareed Zakaria GPS."
The White House and GOP have been under fire on the shows, and the Republican National Committee Wednesday singled out one MSNBC show not on the MRC list: "Morning Joe."
"If there is a leader of the pack for the worst case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, look no further than MSNBC's 'Morning Joe,'" said Michael Reed, RNC's research director.
The group listed the advertisers of each show on its website. "We will be publicly listing the advertisers of these programs and asking them to defend their decision to continue airing ads on these shows. Every time one of their on-air personalities go beyond political commentary and engage in smear and hate, we are going to unleash an army of activists to contact these advertisers by phone and through social media to ask them why they are advertising on programs that are so biased, repulsive and morally bankrupt," said Bozell.
