This is a clip from MSNC, one of the US cable channels who rarely report real news and has wall to wall talking heads (back home people call them “analysts”) on all the time. This time she invited Jesse Jackson to comment on some ludicrous statement by a big time capitalist who’s happy to take government bailouts to up his own salary. She confuses Jackson with Al Sharpton. Then blames the teleprompter.
