Saying a "tactical operation" was underway and (either/both?) smoke bombs/stun grenades (?) were used. MSNBC doesn't have the same type of live shot.

(13,776 posts)How could they be showing such a different scene? Is their helicopter (or their sister station's helicopter) circling the wrong cabin?
On edit: never mind (although it still makes MSNBC look not-so-good, I think). Thanks for the explanation, nadin.

(62,683 posts)CNN DOES call itself a news network, MSNBC called itself "the place for politics" -- so maybe they don't have the resources? But they are NBC, so who knows? I just always flip between the two when there's something breaking, and pretty much hunker in at MSNBC the rest of the time.

(26,877 posts)I remember watching Waco live on TV. This looks like that event (i.e. standoff that ends in flames).

(26,877 posts)I said I watched the Waco fire live on ABC. It was a standoff that ended in flames. I said that this event is like that one (a standoff that ended in flames that I watched live on TV).
Nonsense, indeed.
