MSNBC continues to distinguish itself as the apology network.

Last night on Hardball, a graphic titled “Words About Words” prominently featured an image of Osama bin Laden. The story, however, was about the recent claims of plagiarism in Barack Obama’s speeches. See link below.

Fifteen minutes later, anchor Chris Matthews issued an on-air apology: “You may have noticed the graphic over my shoulder. A picture we showed over our shoulder, that was a mistake earlier in the broadcast. We apologize for the error.”
