It’s Not Just a Tweet: MSNBC’s Despicable Record of Smearing Republicans, Conservatives, and Tea Party as Racists | NewsBusters

It’s Not Just a Tweet: MSNBC’s Despicable Record of Smearing Republicans, Conservatives, and Tea Party as Racists | NewsBusters: "On Thursday, MSNBC President Phil Griffin apologized for a Twitter post suggesting conservatives (“the rightwing”) are racists who would “hate” a cute new Cheerios ad because it featured a biracial family: “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’s statement was a good first step, but if an apology is owed for this tweet, then MSNBC owes conservatives many, many more. The Media Research Center has compiled a long list of instances in which the network’s anchors have committed character assassination disguised as journalism, unjustly smearing conservatives, Republicans and the Tea Party as racists. Here are just some of the many outrageous examples we have documented."
