As a web programmer, I would say that unless msnbc has a custom revolutionary search algorithm it would not be possible with any statistical certainty to make such a statement. Microsoft, if one judges by Bing, is not able to display results based on a query where sympathy to family is shown in first part of a post/message yet doubt of conviction is shown in second part. Most likely they used a pattern which is likely to have a very significant margin of error making it as valid and reliable as a guesstimate.
