Well, there’s certainly a Twitchy post in it. As Twitchy reported, MSNBC president Phil Griffin apologized for the network’s race-baiting tweet, and the staffer responsible was dismissed. The RNC’s Reince Priebus accepted the apology, but there are quite a few MSNBC viewers who haven’t accepted Griffin’s decision to apologize.
#msnbc There shouldn't be apologies for the truth. You're off in my home now–and it may stay that way permanently.

Don't y'all act like rightwingers love blacks. Please. MSNBC probably shouldn't have tweeted it, but they said what most of us have.

Hey Phil Griffin! Grow some balls! Stop apologizing! Roger Ailes would never apologize for anything Fox News spews out. @msnbc

#msnbc Phil Griffin is a weak dick. Nothing offensive was said. No apology needed for telling truth

If I ran @msnbc I would have defended tweet as it IS THE DAMN TRUTH! But coward #PhilGriffith is in charge – hence their plunging ratings.

MSNBC fires someone for telling the truth after faux outrage by the GOP. American politics just hit a new low.
