Easter, MSNBC-Style: Network's Facebook Page Features Crucifix Juxtaposed With Man Hooded in White

April 4th, 2010 8:55 AM

Of all the images to accompany its Facebook feature on "Easter observances and celebrations from around the world," MSNBC chose the one displayed here.  As it turns out, the man hooded in white is a participant in a traditional Easter procession in northern Spain.  But how many readers will click through all the images to discover that? How many more will assume, as did I until informed otherwise, that it was a Klansman? H/t reader Michael G.

Easy to imagine some wag at MSNBC thinking this was an amusing way to go.

In the meantime, I wish a joyous Easter to all NewsBusters readers observing the day.
