The Daily Caller reports that, “MSNBC Host Reporting On Youtube Active Shooter Confuses Soda Can Opening For Gunshots“. The incident made for a most excellent Wizard of Oz, “Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!” moment, don’t you think?
A bizarre moment occurred during the network’s on-air coverage of the YouTube headquarters shooting when host Nicolle Wallace confused a soda pop can opening for potential gun shots.
That’s when the near-unmistakable sound of a soda can opening – for some reason, live on-air – could be heard on the MSNBC set.
“I think we just heard some gunshots,” Wallace reported. “Should we listen to that for a second, control room? Not gunshots? OK. They’ll tell us if there’s something we need to — to dip in and listen to.”
