MSNBC Calls Jesse Jackson Al Sharpton

I am not saying this is that big of a  deal, the script said Al Sharpton and I can easily see where when you are used to reading the words on the page you can make a mistake. We’re all human and I’ve certainly been looking at a friend and for no reason in particular called them by the wrong name.

But imagine if this happened on Fox, how would the left have reacted ?

   A much more partisan oriented post here with an inflamatory headline?

   It's pretty funny, but would have been funnier on Fox as the fox commentator began to argue the point with Jesse. Or demanded a birth certificate, then denied it’s validity.

   The Left would have called it a “corporate right-wing media” example, if not a hate crime.

   And that's without her defending herself and MSNBC later, “but they all look alike, I mean, um, their names all sound alike…”
