Again with this amateurish clown house. Pathetic. Eww, Msnbc. D:
(CNN) – MSNBC President Phil Griffin apologized Thursday for what he called an "offensive" network tweet, which suggested that conservatives may “hate” a Cheerios Super Bowl ad featuring a racially mixed family.

Griffin said the person responsible for the tweet was fired.
"The tweet last night was outrageous and unacceptable,” Griffin said in a written statement. “We immediately acknowledged that it was offensive and wrong, apologized, and deleted it. We have dismissed the person responsible for the tweet.”

Yeah, an individual ≠ cable network. Have another swing at it.

Yeh, I guess apologizing is the wrong thing to do. Rather, MSNBC should follow FOX's example of how they skillfully cover up/dismiss/disregard their own rumor mongering propagandizing lip slips instead of owning up to any of it. ;)

I just like it how liberals come up with the programs/commercials and then decide to air them social engineer the acceptance of biracial relationships and gays. It's so blatant it's like entertainment each time it's pushed. :thumbsup: for effort, :thumbsdown: for obviousness.

Fox News Channel continues to dominate over the other cable news networks. Its combination of brand differentiation, strong personalities, and fair and balanced reporting have helped Fox dominate over other news networks.

That support has not changed since, as Fox News Channel has been the dominant cable news network for close to 140 months. The latest Nielsen ratings for cable news show how much Fox dominates the competition. During the last quarter, the total-day average of viewers for Fox was 1.18 million. The corresponding numbers for CNN (476,000), HLN (393,000), and MSNBC (361,000), were not close to Fox.

So how is Fox able to dominate the competition? There are three main reasons for the dominance and continued success. Those reasons include brand differentiation, strong personalities, and a focus on being fair and balanced.

Fox also maintained a focus on being fair and balanced to their reporting of the news. While some argue the network has a conservative bias, Fox has been focused more on news than MSNBC, which offers more commentary. Fox News programs also have counterpoints from individuals with opposing views. This enables viewers to hear arguments for and against the commentary of the host.

Studies and articles have shown that the media leans to the left. Fox provides an opportunity for viewers to hear different viewpoints without the worry that the news is slanted to the left. This has helped Fox succeed and will continue to drive Fox’s rating higher.

Among all basic cable networks in 2013, FNC ranked sixth in primetime while MSNBC was 29th and CNN was 31st. In total day, Fox ran fourth while CNN was 28th and MSNBC ran 30th; in 2012, CNN finished behind MSNBC. CNN and HLN showed some year-over-year gains on a total-day basis, while FNC and MSNBC were down.

HuffPo said:
"The O'Reilly Factor" was once again at number 1 to no one's surprise, with an average of 2,720,000 total viewers and 409,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age demo. Fox News came out on top across the board with its shows taking the top 14 spots in total viewers. "The Five," “The Kelly File" and “Special Report with Bret Baier” finished just behind O'Reilly, respectively. The network recovered strongly compared to January 2013 when it had its worst prime time ratings in the key demo (226,000 viewers ages 25-54) since August 2001.

You know, if you even have to ask what kind of "rumor mongering" FOX belches and barfs up on a daily if not hourly basis and of which they are infamously and more than commonly known for, then I believe that no matter what proof I post up, it will all be met with the usual diversion, denial and disbelief. But then you'd expect some proof of that too huh? :D

Fox has far better ratings than MSNBC, which is in the bottom of the toilet anyway. It doesn't surprise me one bit, actually, after seeing all the racist shit they have condoned. Fox also has beautiful, intelligent women, while MSNBC has that thing.......Maddcow, or whatever IT is. lol

Awww how adorable! There's black people in the new Cheerios commercial MSNBC nitwit viewers. Isn't that adorable?

Fucking hell liberals sure are creepy assholes sometimes, and then they try and pawn their creepy race-baiting obsessions off on everyone else.

Damn, how'd you guess? I bet it was the part where you noticed I had plagiarized some text from one of Obama's earliest speeches that FOX News had reported that they had heard it said from someone who was with Obama's father in Kenya, who at that time was bouncing little Barry on his one good right knee whilst taking dictation of the speech that his son was making about FOX News all while simultaneously forging a Hawaii birth certificate with his other foot.

I honestly cannot say I'm any bit surprised. Some of the people on MSNBC are lunatics, and stupid.

And isn't this the eighth billion time they have done something like this? MSNBC knows it has unlimited "forgiveness" from the public. That's why they apologize and repeat. Their intention is to prove they are better than the "evil conservatives who are all racist, women hating, bible thumpers" yet they are the ones doing this kind of thing?

You show the world the truth about the Conservatives, MSNBC! :rolleyes:

This kind of crap on MSNBC is truly classic projection. They are so racist and race obsessed that they project that onto everyone else. Mitt's family adopts a black baby? Gotta make fun and make racist comments. Ad featuring bi-racial family? Project your own racism onto the 'right wing'.

What a pathetic network, no wonder they can't get more than 12 people to watch.

Well they learn about being persecuted and projection from the best, Fox news!

Not even 2 full pages in this thread and the racist conservative roaches are already posting because msnbc is in the title.

Why yes, yes they did. I really enjoy it when the progz have a moment, forget and let loose their real feelings. When you peel back that outer layer of righteous empathy, they are truly ugly inside. Which reminds me, I ran across some LBJ Quotes. LBJ, remember him? The war on poverty guy? What a great success that was, but I digress.

LBJQuotes


Of course those are days of long ago. The modern day progressive has been emboldened turned over a new leaf. But what's under it is well, not good. Curiously, this story didn't make the nightly news. No mystery if you read the content of some of his emails. A pedophile and a very racist one at that.

I believe forum rules forbid modifying text in quotes. Please change 'the public' to 'the lib hacks in ATPN'. :)

The racist scumbags at MSNBC are at it again? Color me shocked.

Funny how they want to accuse conservatives of being racist, yet they are the ones constantly making racist comments and tweets.
