What just happened on MSNBC? A joke on the prompt screen?

He started out reading/saying:

"Latest news on the Martian invasion....." and cut himself off, gulped, looked into the monitor, then the cameras cut very quickly to other little MSNBC ads/blurbs???

Interesting news show that to me seems unbiased. Anyone beg to differ?

5. You clearly forgot the Mars probe invasion.
It was probably a lead-in to updates on the Mars Probes.

7. I saw it too
He was caught completely off guard but realized the joke fairly quickly. He looked absolutely flummoxed. It was kind of funny actually.

12. You notice he looked down at the Debra Norville ad at the
bottom left of the screen. It could have been a barb at her.

15. Changes coming at MSNBC
They just hired a new CEO and got rid of the old one. I guess the new guy is a ex CNN CEO (title?)

Im hoping he gets rid of the monotonous right wingers who spew the spin nightly. Maybe get a Liberal with testes to represent our side for a real change...
