    This is why I get all my news from Clutchfans. The "real" news is too offensive.

    That's just a terrible segment to begin with.

    I'm surprised some producer didn't cut the camera off during the middle of that description of Romney's family.

    I am as liberal as it gets and I think that whole segment was terrible, not funny, sometimes down right offensive, worst of all were the comments about Romney's grandson.

    The response to the critic was just as bad.
    Really? I don't think you are a producer, I don't care if you chose the photo and if you knew it was coming or not, you are an idiot and a racist to not know how to respond to it.

    The comments were definitely in bad taste. No one is disagreeing about that.

    But good-freakin' Lord, the hypocrisy for this one is out of control. This was tasteless, but not as bad as the far right is making it out to be. This happens every so often on MSNBC, like most networks. But if you watch Fox at any given hour, you'll find the most offensive,misleading and unapologetic news source around.

    Yet, their viewers are making this out to be the worst thing ever.

    Oh for the love of all that is holy. You, of all people, posting this. If this had been done on Fox, you would be in arms with some diatribe about how people who disagree with you politically are bad people, and calling for a public stoning.

    With how often you rail against the right for things like this, stating that it isn't a big deal when somebody on the left does it is pretty much the textbook definition of hypocrisy.

    MSNBC has zero ratings, and MHPs show is at the bottom of MSNBC.

    That sort of desparation leads to more outlandish/sensational/trolling stories like this. She wore tampons on air one time. Anything for a modicum of attention.

    Same reason you get crazy articles from Slate/Salon, trolling for web hits.

    Not surprising that you're trying to minimize this incident.

    the definition of hypocritical.

    Prefer maxi pads?

    Anyway, I agree with you about the ratings. Why not think outside the bun and bring in a Paul Rust or Neil Campbell or Lauren Lapkus? They already missed the boat on Chris Gethard. I hear they hired Mia Farrow's son to host a show. I mean come on, man! I'm cheesed, ticked, pissed and straight up ornery over their lack of vision.

    How great would it be to watch a 42-minute uninterrupted rant (about anything) from Eddie Pepitone? But nah, they'll probably rehire tubby Tucker Carlson and have him zzzbate with Ezra Klein or some other bespectacled stereotype from the pundit bin.

    poor taste. move on.

    why are some people here, on either side of the political spectrum, more concerned with how the other side reacts ?

    Hippocrates!

    MSNBC and Fox News are both spit with a h instead of a p. Why doesn't everybody realize this?

    My god. Look at this preemptive baiting. Nobody here is giving her a pass. She's a ****ing moron and MSNBC has proved they are just as bad as Fox News, just on the other end of the spectrum.

    You're a ****ing troll.

    lol I love how some of you liberals have to interject Fox News into this discussion, in an attempt to rationalize that both sides have issues. You can't just criticize MSNBC, you have to lob something at the Republicans at the same time, when Fox had nothing to do with this episode.

    You know what is hilarious. There have been several cases of fox news spewing insensitive crap or blatant lies yet you go as far as defending fox news all the time no matter what. At the very least no one is defending MSNBC on this.

    Sometimes I think Bigtexxx is a 14 year old that only posts things he hears his parents say over and over so he can seem intelligent...
