MSNBC incident
On Monday, February 4, 2002, MSNBC conducted an interview about the Enron scandal. During the broadcast, MSNBC put up a graphic identifying Mr. Innis as "Nigger Innis." Although this racially offensive term was broadcast, MSNBC said its use was accidental.
According to the Associated Press, shortly after appeared, correspondent Gregg Jarrett offered Innis a "profuse apology." The AP also reports Innis graciously replied: "Oh, God, I thought you guys thought I was a rapper or something. Media bias continues. Just kidding. It's not the first time it's happened, but hopefully it's the last."
