michelle tweeted out. hey, msnbc jerks, this is my biracial family, we love cheerios, enough of your racial crap. and michelle caused others to tweet back, and that sent off a firestorm, stop the hate, and diversity, in people's political views. and this, i love hash tag my right wing biracial family, in just hours, hundreds like that went out. the cable took the tweet down eventually. but it was not over. the republican national committee demanded a formal apology and threatened to boycott the network. the president of msnbc wrote "the tweet was outrageous and unacceptable. we have dismissed the person responsible for the tweet." now, however, there are suggestions that this controversy is part of a larger then and the narrative. one tied to our national politics and one that goes well beyond a cable channel. and tonight, we have joe trippi, a fox news contributor and a couple of other special guests we'll bring out later. we'll start with mr. bizzel, good to see you. >> hi, megyn. >> this is what they tw

i tweeted that. i can go in and take that tweet and promote it. i can say, people who search on twitter will see this tweet. twitter orwork on facebook will see this tweet. people will click on the link. >> will kind of revenues do they have? how many employees? >> they have just over 2000 employees. the revenue is around $640 million. next year is expected to go around $1 billion. they are not profitable yet. they had a moment last year were they skirted profitability. but then they decided to purchase a company. they could be profitable today if they wanted to leave. they are getting money from the ipo. they are reinvesting it in the company to hire more employees. >> what is your personal opinion about the ipo? in the fact smart that they undervalued the company. facebook, everyone said it was worth 50 million -- $50 billion. as they decided to go out $100 billion. it will forever be known as one of the biggest ipos in the valley. twitter did the opposite. they went out at a much lower valuation. they were probably worth about 18-$20 billion. t

how we discuss changing one tweet at a time. bringing in the community program is our digital producer, raj, and even when we put the topic out there. >> it resonated in a big way. we are flooded with tweets and personal stories. and i'm going to share a few of them. we're tweeting about marriages and birth and photos of our kids, and it seems that death is the inevitable cycle of life. roger says, we tumble our way through emotions, and the internet creates ways to help others going through the same motions. >> what about you? do you think that you would put it on line. >> i thought about it, and i would. since you and i share so much with the online community, i think that death and getting to that stage, i would want to share it, to not feel alone, and to talk to my community about that important stage in life. >> i wonder if, he started organically started tweeting about the impending death of his mother and how millions of people latched onto that. >> he created global empathy and awareness. >> how about you? would you turn

and personal stories, i will share a few of them but it seems we are tweeting about marriages and tweetingbout birth and showing photos of our kids and death is the inevitable cycle of life and people are sharing with it and roger gets poetec says we go through our way through emotions and instant ways to find others going through emotions and on facebook allen has a heart-warming story of blogging during 8 years of his wife's cancer and declining as she passed and getting emotions and frustrations out and used to be a stress reliever for him and got this from better schuller is suffering from cancer and shares her journey on facebook and setback with family and friends ares are exhausted and hopes to go through the medium. >> if you had a terminal illness would you open up online? >> i think i would because we share our lives with the community and i think death and getting to that stage i probably would want to share it and not feel alone and also talk to my community about the important stage in life. >> i wonder if people have jobs like ours or we see a lot of celebrities revealing the

he says: also on facebook james said: >> finally a tweet: >> you, the community can keep tweeting us. >> it's hard to believe the 3-year anniversary of the egyptian process to pave the way to democracy is upon us. with the military in power and introducing reforms to roll back freedoms egyptians hoped for, is it a return to the hosni mubarak era? the world watched deadly clashes between the regime and mohamed morsi, who was ousted in a coup last summer. the u.s. congress is paving the way to resume financial support despite opposition and a law. 49% of americans say they are against further aid to egypt. 43% believe transingses in egypt is bad for -- transitions in egypt have been bad for the u.s. as u.s.-egyptian relations are put to the test, should americans worry that if the past is an indicator, washington may regret its friends. >> we talk to steven cock, an author and fellow. david rhode is a 2-time pulitzer prize-winning journalist held by the taliban for eight months. and david pollock is a fellow of new age policy. >> it's the second anniversary of the longest serving presid

they couldn't tweet anything.t's the difference. >> the fact is people were charmed by my commercial 10 years ago and they were charmed by the cheerios commercial. there is no real controversy over it. a couple of jerks in junior high school tweeted something about it. cheerios was able to use that and everybody came to their defense. but i agree with kerstin that this tweet was actually more mild than what most people say on msnbc. they said maybe the right wing won't like it. as the hosts of the shows they con constantly accuse -- constantly accuse them of direct racism all the time. >> it is getting tire so many. racism and hating gay people and all of these things so they can knock republicans down. let's talk about real things happening in the country. >> but then i have nothing to talk about on "red eye." if msnbc is acting responsible i have nothing to say. >> is cheerios in tau grated? >> they do have honey nut cheerios. >> they have multi grain cheerios. >> it is not the same box. >> they have chocolate c

: >> also, we got a tweet history. and when we talk about unintended consequences, allied, western sentiment, and siding with saddam against iran, and then michael says: says: so my question to david rhode, there seems to be a lot of bad examples of u.s. policy in the middle east. so where do you go next? is egypt going to be a good example? or why the blowback, and it seems like it's a track record that hasn't been -- . >> i don't think that egypt under mubarak today, is it a security for average egyptians? no. i agree with david that some of this aid has helped, but i don't see it as a success. a very positive story today is what happened in tunisia. they are passing right now u. at the same time as egypt, a constitution that has created very long, but it has created a political process with moremize and more consensus. and there are islamists in tunisia who have backed down, but tunisia is one very positive story in a very dark post period. and i don't want to be idealistic about democracy and say that it could happ

is how we are discussing dying changing - one tweet at a time? [ ♪ music ] >> bringing in the community throughout the program is our digital desk. when we put the top i can out there, of death, we saw how it resson stated with people. >> yes, we were flooded with tweets and personal stories. i'll share a few. we are tweeting about memories, birth, showing photos of our kids. death is the inevitable cycle of life. people are sharing and roger is poetic saying: >> and a story: >> we got this one from betty who was suffering from cancer: >> so what about you, if you had a terminal illness, would you open up about it online? >> i thought about it. i think i would. in this day and age, you and i share so much much our lives with the online community, death - i probably would want to share it to not feel alone and isolated. and maybe to tabling to the community about that. >> i wonder if it's people with jobs like ours or we see a lot of celebrities or scott syme jobs, when he orcanicly tweeted about the impending death of his mother, how millions lat

another way to do it is to actually promote tweets. one of the things i have done is i wrote a tweet about by book and said pick up "hatching twitter: a true story of money, power, friendship and betrayal" and shared the book cover, and i tweeted that. so i said people that search for ipo will see this tweet. or people that work at facebook or twitter will see the book. they will click on the look and go forward. >> host: what kind of revenue and employees? >> a little over 200,000 employees and $640 million is the projected income. next year is expected to be a billion. they are not profitable yet. they are taking the money they are getting from the ipo and advertising companies. >> host: what is your personal opinion about the ipo? >> twitter was smart in the fact they under valued the company. facebook was work $50 billion and now it is known as one of the biggest messes in ipo's in the valley. twitter decide to go out at a much lower evaluation. people said $18-$20 billion and they were talking about going out at $13 billion. but t

another way to do it is to actually promote tweets.so one of the things i've actually done is i wrote a tweet about my book. i said, you know, pick up hatching twitter, and i showed the link, hatchingtwitter.com, and i put a photo of the book cover, and i tweeted that. i can go in, take that tweet, and i can promote it. people that search for twitter ipo on twitter will see this tweet, or people that work at facebook or even at twitter will see this tweet and, therefore, people will click on that link and buy the book. >> host: what kind of revenues do they have, how many employees? >> guest: so they have a little over 2,000 employees. the revenues this year are projected to be in the 600 to $640 million. next year they're expected to go over a billion dollars. they are not profitable yet. they did have a moment late last year where they did skirt with profitability, but that was actually, it fell because they decided to purchase a company. but they could be profitable todaythey wanted to be, they're just taking the money that they're

>> i've not tweeted any angry tweets from hong kong. >> when you're angry tweeting how often are youot supposed to mix drugs and alcohol. i just e-mailed anderson's mom, gloria vanderbilt. i said anderson is crying. i didn't have any other way to tell her. >> has rachael ray responded? she's sending lies to rachael ray saying i'm saying terrible things about her cooking. she seems like a lovely person and looks like a very good cook. >> i texted rachael ray and said "anderson cooper thinks your cooking sucks." she wrote back. "wow, he can't handle the marathon. wow. do six hours instead of him. wow. best new year's show. sorry about anderson." she's not happy. >> she didn't say that. >> rachael ray is so sweet. >> did she really say that? >> as long as i can get you to think she said it for 30 seconds i've won. >> we're here in times square. about 90 minutes or so away from the start of 2014. for me as much as i love your witty repartee, i love the moment when the ball drops and for about ten minutes -- >> i shut up? >> i have a silence rule where we don't talk during that time and w

she almost seemed to idolize him in tweet after tweet after tweet after tweet. nobody comes forward that says she said this. she didn't send any e-mails to anybody that said this. she now comes forward and says, you know, he has been corrupt the whole time. that, to me, strange to the point of -- it's hard for the average american to understand why the media gives her such unbelievable credibility. why? >> at the end of the day here, it's a federal -- some will argue the same thing with governor christie, that folks are giving him -- why are you so sure governor christie's side of the story is 100% accurate and her side of the story is 100% false? what evidence do you have, governor? >> the evidence i have is what she said on tv. i'm doing this to put pressure on christie to support my program. now christie or any other governor -- i'm one of the few people, chuck, that's been through this with katrina. >> particularly with katrina. >> the idea -- and i'm very familiar with the hazard mitigation grant program. by the way, it's not a state program. it's a federal

they actually tweeted it.aww. the new cheerio has ad with biracial family. seemingly unfounded, most people found it adorable in general when they saw previews of it. they ended up apologizing for the tweet, taking it down, i believe one person was let go. is that enough? >> first of all, let me say i'm proud of reince previn, the chairman of the rnc for demanding an apology and saying no one from the rnc is going to go back on nbc until they get the apology. and because of his bold action, you saw phil griffin immediately capitulate. here is the question, is there an adult in charge over there? is there anybody there who is not filled with this playground arrogance, this sense of we're right, everybody else is wrong and we're right 100% of the time and they're wrong 100% of the time? that's something that i find just really contemptible in a society where we're supposed to be able to have adult level conversations and even be able to disagree without being disagreeable. >> sure. it does seem there is a cultur

colleagues a lot of freedom about tweeting pictures.s n.y.t. mills. anybody who looks at that knows or thinks it's "new york times." i have a lot of freedom doing that. i try)?u to stick all my twitter stuff just to business. just to what i do everyday to be able to show people the happenings around town. it always helps, there's so many tweets that go out about the actual events that are all gsjun writing. i thought after getting on twitter how nice it is to throw a photo in there. >> back to the "new york times" website. here's some video. this is president obama on the campaign trail. let's watch.

the reporters reduced it to a tweet. they got it wrong and corrected it but by then the fire storm had started. but if people will listen carefully in context, now if they parse every word, they can believe what they want to believe. the idea that i was taking offense to women, i was the opposite, i was affirming that women are quite capable, equals to men. why when i was governor i appointed more women to executive positions of state governor than any other governor in our state, including bill clinton. so i'm not having to apologize to anybody for the record on women's issues, and don't have to say that i'm so sorry that women are equal to men and capable and strong. the point was not about that issue, but how democrats accused the republicans of having a war on women. and i pushed back on that. >> and have reduced women to being about all of that, we had a lot of that in the last campaign. great to see you, governor. >> thank you. >>> well, you saw just a little the media reaction in that lead to the governor. and ber
