It is a nice change to see a mainstream media organization actually begin to understand the concept of the internet. MSNBC.com now includes embed codes for all of its videos. Where at one time we had to wait for someone to rip that Keith Olbermann Special Comment we just had to share and put it on YouTube, only to have it taken down a week later, we now have it when we want it.
Hopefully other news outlets will follow suit and begin to allow embedded videos. To highlight the feature, I included a video from Countdown about John McCain and his allies supporting policies that led to the drastic increases in gas prices.

1RE:MSNBC Embed Video
Help, please! I've started a blog with Wordpress and I can't get the MSNBC videos to embed. I see you have done so quite effortlessly. Can you tell me how you did it?

2If it is a Wordpress.com blog you can't, which is one of the reasons I switched to my own server running a Wordpress installation. If you are running wordpress with your own hosting, just make sure when you are writing the post you enter the embed code in HTML view and not Visual. You can switch with the tabs on the top right of the writing space.

3Hi
I have downloaded such a video from msnbc. The problem i have is that I changed the html code and now I am left with a video that I cannot edit or move or delete from my site. Can you offer any solution to this problem, I would like to remove the video all together.
