Whoever does the graphics for MSNBC during Ronan Farrow's slot needs to be fired.

Tweeters were understandably disturbed as that screen grab from today’s edition of “Ronan Farrow Daily” made the rounds:

It is real. Well, sort of. You see, “WTC jumpers” refers to the BASE jumpers arrested yesterday for a parachuting stunt at 1 WTC last fall:

Let’s just say MSNBC’s graphics department could’ve made that a little clearer:
Oooof, @RonanFarrow might want to chat with his graphics team for new shorthand for viral base jumpers. RT@EyeonOhio pic.twitter.com/uE6yajdNVe

It's not like they didn't have room for the word "base" before "jumpers." #sigh

That’s good advice. And Lord knows MSNBC needs all the good advice it can get.
"Whoa, whoa, we meant *base* jumpers. Sorry for the confusion, but in our defense we have no idea who even watches our shows."
