The prank was juvenile and stupid, especially considering the subject matter of the report but there is NO excuse for her and the producers involved at MSNBC not to have VETTED their callers and not to even catch on to the prank until the point were he calls her a dumb ass.
It showed MSNBC to be a completely amateur organization, if there were any doubt prior.
Oh I agree. How MSNBC stays on the air is beyond belief.
The pictures were taken when she was 22. (2003, 2004).
Both have rules prohibiting pictures like that.
It is more likely that someone who took them sold them to the right wing blog that made them public.
Facebook founded in 2004.
Twitter founded in 2006.
…Or it could have simply been Myspace which was pretty popular before FB took off.
At any rate, many articles about the incident, if they make any claim about where the photos came from, they it claim it was FB
"Krystal Ball, the 28-year-old Democratic candidate for Congress in the first district of Virginia, has recently been faced with a leak of several Facebook photos of her from a Christmas party six years ago. "

Saying a 'Prank' is juvenile and stupid? Isn't that the idea?
I suppose you don't like the movie "Caddyshack" either.
Which, by the way, is an American classic, along with "Blazing Saddles"

Fair enough. I'm not against pranks or movies like Caddyshack, It was tasteless to conduct a prank during a news report about people dying in a plane crash.
With that said, it absolutely showed the media as incompetent automations who don't even seem to pay attention to the people they interview or vet them ahead of time. Yet the prankster didn't need to pick a tragedy in order to make this point.
