MSNBC Promo: 'Experience the Power of Change'

November 4th, 2008 5:37 PM

It's taken them awhile, but good to see that MSNBC has now seamlessly integrated its own promotional advertising with that of the Obama campaign.

An MSNBC promo that just aired, touting the network's election coverage, concludes: "Watch MSNBC, and experience the power of change."  And as you'll see from the screencap, who is at the center of MSNBC's coverage but Keith Olbermann.  Oh, and prior to its parting shot, the promo's soundtrack is the voice of JFK, in his famous "ask not" line from the 1961 inaugural address.

Might there be some kind of Federal Election Commission violation here?  They forgot to include the "I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message" tagline.
