Except for 'Morning Joe,' MSNBC Ignores S.C. Dem’s Racist Attack On

Unfortunately that's not the case with Dick Harpootlian's…

February 5th, 2013 5:21 PM
Editor's Note: This was originally slated for publication on Feb. 1. We apology for the delay | Many have rightly condemned MSNBC's serpentine editing of a video to make it appear that certain gun rights activists heckled the father of a 6-year-old victim of the Sandy Hook shooting massacre, but let's not pretend this was a one-off event.
