Not a good year for PMSNBC but they don’t care. They will surely double down on the stupid in the coming months as the election heats up. Notice how increasingly insane their hosts are from Matthews to Sharpton to Schultz to Maddow to O’Donnell.
by Noah Rothman
It has been a fateful year for the cable news network MSNBC. It seems every month, another host – or even the network itself – is forced to apologize for reporting a factual error or overstepping the bounds of responsible commentary.
Mormonism-Is-An-Invented-Religion-Gate
The most recent apology to come out of the cable network at 30 Rockefeller Plaza is The Last Word host Lawrence O’Donnell. On an April 3 segment, O’Donnell characterized the Church of Latter Day Saints as an “invented religion” and said that Mormonism was started by “a guy in upstate New York” who “got caught having sex with the maid and explained to his wife that God told him to do it.”
That understandably offended some, and O’Donnell was forced to publically apologize on an April 11 broadcast. “I am truly sorry if I said something inaccurate about Joseph Smith,” O’Donnell said. “I am happy to provide time on this show to a Church of Latter Day Saints spokesman to correct any inaccuracy.”
But the apology parade only begins there. A quick trip into recent history reveals a troubling trend of apology-worthy offenses.
[......]
The Racist Edit Of George Zimmerman’s 911 CallOn April 3, NBC News itself admitted to an “error” in their broadcast of a misleadingly edited 911 call made by George Zimmerman on the night he allegedly murdered Trayvon Martin. That call, which also aired on MSNBC, was edited to show Zimmerman offering the skin color of Martin unsolicited when in fact the dispatcher had asked for that information. While this admission does not necessarily constitute apology, the concession of an “error” will have to do.
Mitt Romney Is Racist
In December, 2011, MSNBC ran multiple reports based on a bloggers assertion that Mitt Romney‘s presidential campaign had adopted a slogan, “Keep America American” that was originally used by the Klu Klux Klan in the 1920s.
“So you may not hear Mitt Romney say ‘Keep America American’ anymore. That’s because it was a central theme of the KKK in the 1920s, it was a rallying cry for the group’s campaign of violence and intimidation against blacks, gays and Jews. The progressive blog AmericaBlog was the first to catch on to that,” said Roberts during his dayside news program.
On December 14, 2011, Hardball host Chris Matthews delivered the mea culpa for the network. “During the 11AM hour on MSNBC,” Matthews said, “we reported on a blog item that compared a phrase used by the Romney campaign to one used by the KKK in the 1920s. It was irresponsible and incendiary of us to do this and showed an appalling lack of judgment. We apologize to the Romney campaign.” Matthews apology was reiterated by Rev. Al Sharpton on his program which immediately follows Hardball, saying that MSNBC “did the right thing” by apologizing to Romney.
Chuck Todd’s Bad Morning
Also on December 14, NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd was caught alongside Meet the Press host David Gregory just before being called on to the set of Morning Joe delivering a one finger salute to the production staff just off camera. “The camera is always on. A lesson some of us never learn,” Tweeted a chaste Todd. “My apologies. Am personally embarrassed. Was a joke with someone on the other side.”
But perhaps the most egregious serial eventual-apologizer is Ed Schultz, anchor of the primetime weekday program The Ed Show. In the last year, Schultz has been suspended once and forced to apologize no less than three times.
“Rightwing Slut”
In May, 2011, Schultz was suspended briefly and forced to apologize to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham for calling her a “rightwing slut” on the air. He later called his own comments “vile” and offered Ingraham an apology which she accepted.
Rick Perry Is Racist
On August 15, 2011 Shultz aired an out-of-context clip of Texas Gov. Rick Perry describing the state of the nation as being darkened by “a black cloud.” Perry was referring to the economy but Schultz did not air the original context of the clip and presented it as Perry talking about President Barack Obama – Obama, of course, being the black cloud. Schultz attempt to imply Perry was voicing a racist sentiment backfired and he later was forced to admit “we did not present the full context of those statements… It was a mistake and we regret the error.” Rather than admit an unqualified apology, however, Schultz couched his admission of fault in an attack on his opponents by airing the full clip of Perry in context and making the same argument that Perry was, in fact, a latent racist.
Virginia’s Republicans Are Nazis
On February 22, Ed Schultz’s radio producer James Holm issued an apology for comparing the Republican members of Virginia’s legislature to Nazis-era Dr. Joseph Mengele. The entire exchange between Schultz and his producer is too long and obsequious to reproduce here, but it falls more in the category of a “you were offended, so I apologize” apology while still maintaining that Republicans are Nazis.
Ed Schultz’s Union Ties
There are plenty of apparent offenses for which Schultz has never apologized. He never apologized for calling Sen. Marco Rubio “not a true American,” or saying the “Republican party stands for racism,” or saying conservative commentators want “Obama to get shot,” or for wondering aloud when discussing Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (I-CT) lobbyist wife if “the word whore applies.”
[.....]
Give credit where its due. They do seem willing to apologize when they’re mistakes are caught. But in MSNBC’s year of apologies, some would say its the offenses for which no apology was ever issued that are the most telling and instructive about the culture at play there.

@ buzzsawmonkey:
See-B.S.
I think I’ve watched MSNBC once, and that was only because it was on in a business I happened to be in. I was greatly offended, though no one appologized to me. MSNBC has every right to produce their propoganda, but they should be held in the same esteem as Pravda and Der Sturmer as propaganda and not news or journalism. ANd that may be a bit degrading to Pravda, to be compared to MSNBC and Der Sturmer…
@ Iron Fist:
Are you sure you aren’t offending the modern Pravda?
@ Macker:
Probably. I deliberately didn’t include the National Enquirer because it isn’t propaganda and it has occasionally broke stories the MFM won’t (like Rielle Hunter and John Edwards)…
@ Iron Fist:
Yea Journalism is is such a state it is wide open for the tabloids to increase truth
When will they start reffering to msnbc as not a “real” news organization, like the do FOX?
BTW, I’m not a real fan of FOX, but the others are sooo bad in comparison. There’s the basis of an ad campaign, “Watch us, we’re not as bad as the others”, or “We suck less!”.

Also, I watched the segment a few weeks ago when Joe Scar. was INSCENSED that Zimmerman hadn’t been arrested.
last week he asked that former editor of Newsweek how he thought the media had handled the whole thing (‘over reacted’). Then Joe goes into this narrative that is a complete LIE saying that his only criticism was based on the historical institutional racisim in the south. !!! In other words he didn’t proclaim Zimmerman guilty, he just thought the cops were racist ‘cuz it’s in the south.
I used to think he was just confused.
Now I know he’s a liar.

We haven’t passed a budget for some three years and “coincidentally”, spending has soared during that same period.

We’re “budgeting” while we’re spending the money!
