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

This can't be real. RT @EyeonOhio: Oh my fuck. http://t.co/h3HJ2GzcvM

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 http://t.co/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."
