Oops. MSNBC’s graphics department might have screwed something up rather a lot today.
Specifically, in their coverage of the fall of French President Nicholas Sarkozy, MSNBC accidentally headlined an image of Sarkozy with the caption “Prostitute Speaks,” even though that caption was apparently meant for a story about the Secret Service Scandal. The result was that MSNBC inadvertently labeled Sarkozy a prostitute – not exactly a nice farewell for the ousted President of France. See the embarrassing image below:

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 9:39pmOh c’mon another “oops” moment that has another convenient excuse, This network is full of excuses just like the administration they support. Once they do something they follow up the apology if they get called on it.
This is supposedly a multimillion dollar network news station with a multitude of “errors”

The irony of the left embracing MSNBC all while sneering at Fox News (FOX NEWS! FOX NEWS! OMG! OMG! OMG!) is hilarious. MSNBC is the hard partisan, “let’s just make it up“ ”news” network liberals so badly caricature Fox News as being.
So, while NBC is firing producers for editing the Zimmerman tape for political purposes, and pulling crap like the topic of this post demonstrates, we can count on SNL to, yet again, badly parody Fox News.

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 6:09pmThis is a lot like the cable company “malfunctions” that caused hardcore porn to be inserted into news broadcasts.
I think that this might be the efforts of “Anonymous”, who may have realized that defacing websites is about as effective as smearing ketchup on a window and calling it spray paint. It’s much more effective annoyance when you embarrass the powers that be publicly….

Posted on May 7, 2012 at 5:38pmDoes anyone really believe that this was an “accident”? They’re totally out of control at NBC / MSNBC (remember the “editing mistake” with the Trevyon 911 tape) and are just making a$$e$ of themselves. Maybe it’s their way of trying to draw back an audience. “Hey, watch us for our next embarssing “mistake”!
