Apparently Ronan Farrow and his team are still getting used to this whole cable news thing. During the show's "Battle of the Day" hashtag segment, a graphic appeared asking if the "WTC jumpers" were #heroes or #zeroes. This was meant as a reference to the BASE jumpers whose stunning video went viral today. But many on Twitter were probably reminded of the people who were forced to jump out of the old World Trade Center during the 2001 terror attacks. --Jordan Valinsky
