It is a sharp ad, if you consider only today's events.

Someone at MSNBC is getting spunky, and likely someone is trolling the boards here to do audience research.

Fox got hurt today, bad.

If this has anything to do with saying the Pope died yesterday, CNN did the exact same thing in the same short time frame. When I turned to MSNBC I thought they were the ones who had it wrong.

I was watching at that time. CNN reported it before FOX. Of course. Two Italian agencies reported it, including SkyItalia.

Fox went for a long time without any commercials, though, while reporting it and I have to give them a hat tip there.

I believe in order to be truly accurante, your comment needs to be revised. MSNBC now has fallen behind CNN Headline News during primetime, so it would be the #4 Network.

Yahoo News had a banner saying 'Pope Reported Dead' at one point yesterday, to be then replaced with one saying 'Pope's Condition Worsens'.

Made me chuckle anyway...

"fair and accurate"???

That is awesome... Now they are stealing FNC's tag line.
They'll do anything to try and follow the leader.

Quite true...and kudos for doing your homework. MSNBC is indeed in 4th place behind CNN Headline News...tho I'm not sure just how long that flash in the pan will last. However, the use of "fair and accurate" is just embarrassing. I don't even know how they can feel good about the attention they get for that. It's just sad...MSNBC and Franken have now both used FNC mottos to promote themselves. Both are quite depressing.
