Krystal Ball Will Not Let Her Newscast Go Off the Rails

MSNBC’s Krystal Ball (that name, wow) was pranked by a Howard Stern fan during her coverage of the Malaysian flight crash in Ukraine. Ball attempted to get an eye witness account from the caller but was derailed when he explained, “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 pretended (?) as if nothing happened and continued asking if he could tell what sort of missile system was used. The caller replied, “Boy, you’re a dumbass, aren’t ya?” Undeterred, Ball continued staring into the camera like a robot as if she didn’t comprehend what he was saying.

It’s kind of like when one of those kids tells their mom their gay and the mom goes straight into denial and just smiles politely and asks him if he’d like her to bake him some cookies.

This is really just more material for MSNBC vines at VineSnap.NET

I saw that live. It is beyond pathetic that grown men do this kind of thing during a tragedy.

What’s even more pathetic is that a leftist nitwit like Ball actually has a television career as a commentator, even if it’s on a ridiculous, absurd “news” channel like MSDNC. Walter Cronkite’s corpse is probably rolling over in its grave as I write this.

If Walter Cronkite is rolling in his grave it is over the blatant lies told at Fox News. Facts are not political they are simply facts. Fox places ideology above actual real world objective facts and the mindless morons follow like lemmings because they prefer to hate than to think. I love how these same people have the laughable audacity to consider themselves “Christians” when they are nothing like Christ since they prefer judgement and hate over love and acceptance.

Sure, Mike. You’re so right. If only FNC could be as “factual” in its reporting as the major “news” networks (ABC, NBC, CBS), MSDNC and CNN, those bastions of journalistic accuracy and truth.

Love ya’, buddy. Got nothin’ but love for ya’. Peace out. ;-)

I watch Fox news but I agree. I did not find it funny at all. He should be embarrassed as well.

Didn’t MSNBC alter the trayvon Martin George Zimmerman 911 recording for political gain. MSNBC viewers are geniuses.

Nathan did they really alter it or was it just not to your liking? Don’t get me wrong I would not put it past MSNBC as they are definitely left biased but Fox is a freaking joke that does not even pretend to be balanced. I love when they have 5 ultra conservative white males to discuss abortion or minorities. Laughable

Michael that’s a BS DNC talking point to silence opposition as the Obama machine including MSNBC cannot tolerate dissent. What 5 men are you talking about that doesn’t even make sense . Under that same logic Obama shouldn’t be meddling in healthcare as he’s not a Dr. Or an insurance executive. Nor should he be meddling as a commander in chief of a military as he’s never served. Absurd I know but that’s the logic you haven’t thought through and just regurgitate what you’ve heard. I’m a white male and I talk about my daughters health all the time. Of… Read more »

Clearly we are living in two different worlds. I will end this debate by letting you know that the “liberals” always win. Always. Do you ever wonder why we no longer worship Zeus?; Why we no longer believe that the sun revolves around the earth?; Why people are not afraid of falling off the edge of the earth?; Why physics has not been abandoned because as the leading authorities believed in the late 1900s that everything that can be learned has already been learned. From Martin Luther to Gutenberg to Jonathon Lock and George Washington,. Liberals all, we always prevail… Read more »
