MSNBC President Phil Griffin has apologized to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus for a tweet by the network that ignited a conservative firestorm
Griffin issued a personal apology for the entire episode 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," Griffin said in a statement according to The Huffington Post.
"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."
The tweet that started it all suggested that conservatives would hate the image of an "adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family." It was a reference to a 2013 Cheerios commercial that featured a biracial family.
this company is morphing into a right wing affiliate this is tantamount to republicans saying something true about Limbaugh then have to kiss the ring.
the tweet is probably true they are that kind of racist org to get all hissy because they were called out for what they are, but they can do the things they've done and said about Pres. rag on msnbc and it's personnel accusing them of what they do on the right wing and they cave,
this gives them a sense of a win this is weak and does not show any kind of civility if you tell the truth don't be afraid of those that get their feelings hurt. they are the most despicable people in America and deserve any and everything true exposed about them.

As outlined in the letter below, his network has taken corrective action.We appreciate Mr. Griffin’s admission that their comment was demeaning and disgusting, and the Chairman accepted his apology. We will aggressively monitor the network to see whether their pattern of unacceptable behavior actually changes.We don’t expect their liberal bias to change, but we will call them out when political commentary devolves into personal and belittling attacks.Thank you to everyone who joined in our efforts today.
when you shake the hand of a slimy entity you get slime on your hand, they cave and do what he think is is right and instead of a ok it's cool they get slammed and demeaned and IMO humiliated. just like the scorpion you can't trust them or be civil, they will stab you in your back.with their stinger dumb move msnbc and disappointing too.
