False report on Israel explodes across news station air waves
MSNBC retracts information after discovering impostor's hoax
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The cable news channel MSNBC was the victim of an embarrassing hoax when it broadcast a false report of an explosion in Israel and had to quickly retract it.
The false report came about 2 p.m. Tuesday. The report aired a few minutes after NBC Tel Aviv producer Shelly Howard had filed a live report on MSNBC about growing tensions between Jews and Palestinians in Israel.
A few minutes later, a man called MSNBC's news desk and identified himself as Howard, saying there had been an explosion with injuries in Israel, MSNBC representative Cameron Blanchard said.
The cable channel's news reader, Gulstan Dart, reported on the air that there had been an explosion and promised more details.
MSNBC was about to put the caller on air to discuss the report with Dart when it became clear that it was not Howard on the telephone, Blanchard said.
Dart immediately said on the air that the report was untrue.
"Clearly, this was mischief at work," Blanchard
said. "We immediately corrected the erroneous information. The caller did not get on the air, and we don't want to encourage this behavior further
with additional comment."
She would not comment on whether MSNBC was able to trace the hoax call or if it was evaluating procedures to make sure erroneous

information doesn't air again.
lensons have been high in Israel because of a decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to go ahead with construction of a Jewish house project in disputed east Jerusalem.
MSNBC Cable, a news-and-information joint venture of NBC and Microsoft Corp., has been on the air since last July. It joined a competitive industry that features two other all-news stations, CNN and Fox News Channel.
