‘You’re a Dumbass, Aren’t You?’ MSNBC Gets Awkwardly Pranked On-Air
Mediaite ^ | 7/17/2014 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 07/17/2014 5:35:10 PM PDT by markomalley

MSNBC’s The Cycle brought up Staff Sgt. Michael Boyd to talk with them exclusively about being an eyewitness to the crisis today involving the downed Malaysian Airlines plane reportedly shot down by a ground-to-air missile. There’s just one problem: it wasn’t Staff Sgt. Michael Boyd, it was someone pulling yet another classic cable news Howard Stern prank.

Krystal Ball asked what he saw. “Boyd” said, “Well, I was looking out the window and I saw a projectile flying through the sky, and it would appear that the plane was shot down by a blast of wind from Howard Stern’s ass.”

Ball glossed over that, for some reason, trying to get something serious out of him, and “Boyd” said, “You’re a dumbass, aren’t you?” It was at that point they cut to break.

Of course, she’s an MSNBC anchor. She met their two requirements, being Democrat and being stupid.

Anyone who watches MSNBC is punking him or herself.

You’re a dumbass, aren’t you?

That would be a rhetorical question.

I think there is a producer somewhere who is in big trouble.

Nice vetting MSNBC

“......being Democrat and being stupid.”

A distinction without a difference.

In defense of this dumb broad, the televised MSM is nothing more than photogenic teleprompter readers........

I laugh when I watch my local morning ABC news anchors holding either a light blue or light pink piece of paper in their hand while they're reading their teleprompters. The blank paper is intended to give you the illusion they are reporting from notes but the reality is that it gives them something to do with their hands while they are reading the news to you.......

All smoke and mirrors.........

1. Sum Ting Wong
2. You're a dumbass.

Pantheon of on-air pranks.

This dummy from MSNBC didn't even get it after he said the missile came from Howard Stern's butt. The prankster was stunned. It took him a minute to figure out what to say.
