Alec Baldwin fired for calling people f@ggots, Martin Bashir fired for wanting to defecate in Sarah Palin's mouth, Melissa Harris Perry launching attacks at innocent babies.....what the hell is going on at MSNBC???? We are witnessing a collective meltdown by an entire cable news channel. This is unhinged even for liberals.
I guess when you have an entire channel based upon spewing anger and hatred this was bound to happen.

Melissa Harris-Perry: 'I Am Sorry' For Romney Grandchild Comments
Posted: 12/31/2013 10:43 am EST
Melissa Harris-Perry apologized Tuesday for a controversial segment on her show about Mitt Romney's adopted grandson, Kieran, who is black.
The MSNBC host came under fire after joking about a photo of the Romney family that showed Romney holding his newest grandson on his knee. During her show Sunday, Harris-Perry had shown the photo and asked her panel for caption ideas. The roundtable joked about the baby being the only black person in the picture.
Harris-Perry tweeted Tuesday, using the hashtag "#MHPapology":
"I am sorry. Without reservation or qualification. I apologize to the Romney family. I work by guiding principle that those who offend do not have the right to tell those they hurt that they [are] wrong for hurting. Therefore, while I meant no offense, I want to immediately apologize to the Romney family for hurting them. As black child born into large white Mormon family I feel familiarity w/ Romney family pic & never meant to suggest otherwise. I apologize to all families built on loving transracial adoptions who feel I degraded their lives or choices."
During the show Sunday, actress Pia Glenn had joked, "One of these things is not like the others." Harris-Perry said the baby is "gorgeous," and she said she imagined what would happen if Kieran and North West got married and Mitt Romney and Kanye West were in-laws.
Comedian Dean Obeidallah, who was also on the panel, mocked the photo for "really [summing] up the diversity of the Republican Party."
Obeidallah also told CNN that he had "not intended in any way to mock the Romney family or the baby they adopted," adding, "I apologize to the Romney family and especially the baby if any of them were offended by that joke."
