In the grand scheme of things, after seeing the segment that grabbed so much of the conservatives attention, what happened was no where near the end of the world. However, Harris-Perry, who generally takes the high road, has not disappointed. She offered a sincere apology for her role as show host and the subsequent actions. There were no “buts” or look what the other guys have done.
What more can she do? Her critics, perhaps stinging from Daddy Duck calling gays an abomination, are still nattering on about what she did. I doubt if they have watched the actual segment.
I believe Ms. Harris-Perry learned her lesson, after the media firestorm created by that segment. Harris-Perry is herself from a transracial family. Her father is black and her mother is a white Mormon. I believe she was a little too close to the situation to see the Achilles heel in the segment until her guests misbehaved and the critics brought on the storm.
I see no reason for her to be fired. She handled it as it should have been handled. She unequivocally apologized. Now if Faux News will just start apologizing and firing….I know, I know…it will not happen. Santa will turn in to a black reindeer before Faux will admit to wrong-doing.
