NBC News obviously wants to destroy the threat of any independent-thinking black man as quickly as possible. So it should come as no surprise that, by the time Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart filled in for MSNBC’s Martin Bashir, Carson’s apology was treated as far from sufficient. In short, Capehart and his guests, Toure’ and Krystal Ball, treated the apology as a lie.

This is all par for the course at NBC News.

Sadly, so is the chryron pictured above — “Blinded by the White” — which was used as the clip of Dr. Carson played during the segment.
