"Does someone at MSNBC get a bonus for every media report that includes the name "MSNBC" and the word "apology"? This time, the cable news network apologized for a tweet it posted last night suggesting/fearing/hoping conservatives would not like the new Cheerios Super Bowl ad, and directing readers to its report on the ad.

"Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family," MSNBC tweeted, directing readers to its report and ad video.

Outrage ensued, with headlines including "MSNBC Slimes 'Right Wing' as Racist Over Cheerios Ad," and "MSNBC Trolls The Right With Cheerios Tweet," among others."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
