MSNBC just had an ad for Fox News on!?!?!?

Maybe it's because its Morning Shithead time? I mean I was shocked they were running Romney ads on there for a while, but this is a bit...much...don't you think?

Let them take the cash and run. It's wasted money.

*Just like the Romney ads here.

1. It may not have been on MSNBC. Most cable systems have inventory to run ads on the various cable channels. They usually just sell chunks of many channels and it is random where the ads fall.

2. If MSNBC ran it that wouldn't be a surprise either. It is ad revenue. Who watches MSNBC that doesn't know Fox News exists? Would be pissing away Murdoch's money. LOL.
