36. No, it's an "Balleralert" article. Msn.com is just the aggregator.

MSN.com aggregates articles from various sources. MSN.com, in particular, hosts articles from a wide variety of sources, from traditional mainstream media to various blogs. Not all of them are particularly serious or credible sources.

If you're not famiar with the idea of web news aggregators, think of it hem as the digital equivalent of a newsstand. The newsstand carries both The Economist and The National Enquirer. You wouldn't judge the articles from the two publications as equally credible, just because they're both available from the same newsstand.

Here's the article on the Ballalert website:
