but you know that's not why the msm and the leftie crowd is parading the apology

And you'll never find me saying otherwise, for the record. Two things can be true at the same time; people are misunderstanding the concept of forgiveness...but the father is (likely) doing it for the wrong reasons, and the media is certainly broadcasting it for the wrong reasons.

I in no way agree with the father's "forgiveness," as I don't think it comes from a good place. I also think forgiveness is good as a principle, though.
