Onscreen Headlines Seemingly Blame GOP for Obamacare Website Problems – Want to Guess Which Network?
October 18, 2013
"GOP Flubs Obamacare Launch"

Yet host Mika Brzezinski, along with guests such as Gene Robinson of the Washington Post, former Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs, Bloomberg correspondent Julianna Goldman, and Sam Stein of the Huffington Post, all point their fingers at the Obama administration for the Obamacare site problems.
TheBlaze reached out to MSNBC to find out if the onscreen headlines were the result of editorial errors or if they were meant to communicate something the segment did not; TheBlaze has not yet heard back from MSNBC.
Meanwhile Twitter has been abuzz over the confusing headers. A few responses:
