At this point NBC might want to look into changing their name. MSNBC is dragging the whole brand into the gutter.

MSNBC trolls the right with Cheerios tweet - POLITICO.com
Quote:
The liberal cable news network MSNBC posted a tweet on Wednesday night in which it suggested that conservatives hate biracial families.

"Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family," read the tweet, which was accompanied by a link to an MSNBC.com article about the Cheerios ad.

The Cheerios ad, which will air during the Super Bowl, features a biracial family. It is a follow-up to a Cheerios ad that first aired last year.

Liberals are so full of themselves and so convinced of their moral superiority that they are incapable of recognizing their own deep-seated hatred of those who disagree with them.

I've said it before: self-styled "tolerant" liberals are the most intolerant people on earth.

Oh the irony. The only people openly mocking biracial families are Melissa Harris Perry and her guests. On MSNBC.

If you hate on biracial families, you're a moron. It has nothing to do with your political affiliation.

Despicable. I'm not even a Republican and I'm upset MSNBC did that.

One less source of news for me. Glad they're making it easier to simplify my sources.

Why is it okay with that network to throw out totally unnecessary, inflammatory, downright mean-spirited comments like that which denigrate a whole group of people without cause? I do not get it and find it odd that the American public thinks this type of divisive speech is appropriate.

Everyone I know thinks those Cheerios commercials are soooo cute!

I wish that was the case. The first thing I thought of when I read this thread title was whether or not it was about that Cheerios commercial.

I was back home in Georgia a little while ago, staying with my aunt, and whenever it came on, she'd make some disgusted noise and a quip about how America needs to "keep the races pure"...

I've been called a racist many times on this forum.

I think the first Cheerios commercial is cute.

Guess I'm not a racist, after all.

I haven't seen the new one.

The overwhelming majority of us could care less that folks marry out of their race and have been for ages; it's none of our business, and certainly none of MSNBC's either.

I seriously doubt if any conservatives hate a certain member of the Supreme Court who married outside his race either, or an Oscar winner such as the late Peter Finch, or any of numerous professional athletes.

MSNBC can best be described in the words of the old TV trial lawyer Perry Mason; they're incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial.

Small wonder that their ratings are dismal.
