Via Caleb Howe, New Year’s cheer from American cable news’s beacon of progress. Here’s why even a terrific year-end MSNBC lowlight reel shouldn’t be attempted until after December 31st: There’s bound to be clipworthy stuff right up to the minute the ball drops. In fact, as bad as this is, arguably it isn’t even the most offensive Melissa Harris-Perry clip having to do with kids this year.

Yeah, the interesting thing about this is that they put the photo on the air even though they obviously didn’t have anything to say about it. Ostensibly it’s comic fodder for Harris-Perry’s panel of comedians to riff, but all they can muster is (1) hey, one of them looks different, (2) a Kardashian joke from MHP herself, and (3) a predictable dig at the GOP — which would have worked just as well as a dig at Obama’s 2012 campaign team, actually. It’s not that the photo’s inherently funny or that a white family adopting a black child is wrong — imagine them reacting to a photo of Tom Cruise with his adopted son — it’s that, I think, they felt they couldn’t let it go unremarked upon that the GOP’s last nominee seems happy to have a black child in his family. On MSNBC, racism is the only reason to become a Republican.
