Why start apologizing now?
Perhaps what they're trying to say is;
"All those other times other than the last two? We meant to mislead you."

I must admit liking the mental picture of the first option even more than the second.
So long as we draw the line at giving them mines. Because I'M the one in the house with kitty-litter duty, and the job is unpleasant enough as is.

Funnily I think what's really being said here is less about the statement itself, but the attitude of the recipient. #rachelmaddow

Though to be fair, I believe Rachel has said in a couple of interviews that she doesn't own a television, so she might not know what's on MSNBC before she gets into the building.
Unless of course, someone blogs it. #rachelmaddow

And I sometimes think of an old teevee gag no one else remembers, back in the time when drunks were funny, and to sober this one up, they somehow nailed all his furniture to the wall, so that he woke up with a hangover like always but had to negotiate breakfast on the wall with his robe somehow falling behind him followed soon by his orange juice.
And so the allegory has come true, and we are invited to an equivalency set whereby screaming off-the-wall teabag twits equate sharing health care and the Holocaust with the request by anyone on MSNBC to "write your congressperson."
Idiocy, plain and, as the teabaggers themselves, simple. #rachelmaddow

I saw the thrust of the story as being how MSNBC's progressive headliner-ideologues are not all rah-rah Obama on their "nightly news-and-views-casts" but are trying to hold him accountable to their agendas. The distinctions with Fox that Maddow was making seem true for the evening and prime time shows. But yeah, Ratigan (I've never seen his show) shares their network so the story should have taken him into account.

Also, you do come across the pundits on MSNBC (Maddow is one who comes to mind) who, regardless of your politics, seems to genuinely encourage and debate opposing points of view. Name a single Fox talking head who does that. #rachelmaddow
