MSNBC did not provide a network comment.

It goes without saying, of course, that Melissa Harris-Perry’s apology was insincere: She hates and despises Mitt Romney, she hates and despises the entire Romney family, and she hates and despises everyone who voted for Romney. Whatever offensive thing she said about Romney’s grandchild was simply an expression of her partisan hatred and — because partisan hatred is the entire raison d’être of MSNBC — there’s no way Melissa Harris-Perry is going to apologize for that, is there?

“You really need a conscience, yellow journalists. May your 2014 New Year’s Resolution be to find one,” she added.

Meanwhile, conservatives, as well as other networks, joined in in lambasting MSNBC.

“I’m not even sure what the threshold anymore is for MSNBC going too far,” CNN contributor and Republican Ana Navarro told guest-host Don Lemon during “Erin Burnett OutFront” on Monday.
