Seems like every week someone on MSNBC is forced to apologize, network is a mess.
Via HuffPo:
MSNBC president Phil Griffin has issued an apology for a tweet by the network that outraged conservatives.
MSNBC tweeted Wednesday night, “Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family.” The message referred to the backlash against a Cheerios commercial in 2013, and the network apologized for the tweet shortly thereafter.
The tweet had Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus calling on conservatives to boycott MSNBC.
Griffin had his own statement on Thursday:
The tweet last night was outrageous and unacceptable. We immediately acknowledged that it was offensive and wrong, apologized, and deleted it. We have dismissed the person responsible for the tweet.
I personally apologize to Mr. Priebus and to everyone offended. At msnbc we believe in passionate, strong debate about the issues and we invite voices from all sides to participate. That will never change.
