“MSNBC could start promoting itself as the “We’re sorry” network. To keep up the momentum, it should next apologize to its parent company, General Electric for its lousy ratings, boorish newsmen and all-around irrelevance.”

I value the news at MSNBC the way I value produce and dairy products at the .99 cents store.

MSNBC reserves its apologies for the democrats. Keith Olberidiot can call the President of the United States a liar, a terrorist, and a facist on the air but will never issue an apology, or indeed will never be asked to issue an apology by his management.

Add “Street Sweetie” Erin Burnett of CNBC to the list. Her non-appology for her wisecrack calling Pres. Bush the “monkey in the middle” was a model of insincerity.

Then GE can apologize to the American public for the mess it dumped on the 6 people who still watch.
