MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry apologized for a segment in which the host goofed on a Mitt Romney family member, a small African-American baby..
TRANSCRIPT: “Showing the photo in that context, that segment, was poor judgment. so without reservation or qualification, I apologize to the Romney family. Adults who enter into public life, implicitly consent to having less privacy, but their families, especially their children, should not be treated callously or thoughtlessly. My intention was not malicious, but I broke the ground rule that families are off-limits. For that I am sorry.”
What do you think? Sincerity? Or a great acting job?

Don't forget that this is the same lady who says that parents shouldn't be allowed to make decisions concerning their own kids because kids are the property of the community.
How come she didn't say it about Angelina Jolie's family? More proof how narrow minded liberals are. By their very nature they are supposed to be accepting. Not these Libs. Anything but.
Just another idiot MSNBC racist. Apologizing to the family, because of the backlash, doesn't change the fact that they put the family up for racial ridicule in the first place.
Can you imagine if she were a white conservative and said this about a liberal family? She'd be lucky enough to have a platform to apologize on.
awesome lisp- great PR. Never heard of you until you make of biracial famlies.
but was it enough to keep her job? since it's MSNBC i'd say the answer is yes.
boo fricken hoo lady! you were jubilantly in your own world, being the real you, until you realized you were actually on a public stage.. smackith down!
well, she figured out a way to make it about her again. i apologize boohoo someone comfort me
Some of these comments are STUPID! Melissa Harris-Perry apologized for breaking her own rule. What does her comments have to do with "being a lefties"? Most people in the United States of America, are clear about which party stands for "HATE, NO COMPROMISE". Are you kidding me?
Not malicious? Then why were they made? These lefties are so burdened by hatred of anyone on the right that they think anything goes.
