TVNewser reports that MSNBC displayed an on-air graphic yesterday that incorrectly listed one of the candidates as “Henry Ford.” Henry Ford died in 1947 and was founder of Ford Motor Company.

The graphic should have read “Harold Ford Jr.” who, as TVNewser points out, once served as an MSNBC contributor.
