Biden gaffes ignored by MSNBC's primetime shows for 3 straight nights
There was no mention of the former VP's controversial remarks by the network's biggest stars

The new round of controversial gaffes from presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden -- including his comparison of the nation's African-American and Latino communities -- went completely unmentioned by MSNBC's primetime hosts for three nights in a row.
While MSNBC covered Biden's mea culpa addressing his racially charged remarks on Friday morning, its biggest stars continued their blackout of coverage on the network's most-watched shows.
None of the collective nine hours worth of programming -- from hosts Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes and Ali Velshi, who was filling in this week for Lawrence O'Donnell -- addressed the former VP's rhetorical flubs.
CNN's first primetime mention of Biden's gaffes came Friday night on "Cuomo Prime Time." However, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo strangely did not play the actual clip from Biden's interview from the convention of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ).
Instead, Cuomo read Biden's comments -- about what the former vice president viewed as a lack of "diversity" in the African American community -- out loud to discuss with his guest.
