Many news execs have denied the existence of sexism in the coverage of the presidential campaign, insisting that they have covered the primary fairly and without bias.

We will be delivering the second round of letters to executives at CNN, MSNBC and Fox News on Friday, June 27. Make sure your voice is heard -- sign the letter below.

I was stunned to read that you did not believe that sexism existed in the coverage of the presidential campaign; that you truly believed that you covered the campaign fairly and without bias.
We will not stand for blatant misogyny -- or offensive stereotypes -- aimed at Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Katie Couric, or any other woman.
We demand a higher level of discourse from your organization.
Sincerely,
