Tried to embed a MSNBC video in post:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3096434/ns/msnbc_tv-msnbc_tv/#37266779

Here are the steps to reproduce:

Click "Embed" button in MSNBC video.
Copy and paste embed code in notepad.
Click "Source" button on top in CKEditor.
Paste embed code from notepad to CKEditor.
Click "Post" button.

Embed shows and plays properly in CKEditor "Preview" (after clicking the CKEditor "Preview" button), but the video does not show up in the final post.

Repeated a similar procedure with a Youtube video, with the same results:

Note: I am aware of the [ View ] tag, and that tag works for YouTube ~~only~~.

I previously attempted the [ View ] tag with MSNBC, but that did not work. It works for YouTube.

Is it possible to enhance the [ View ] tag to work with other popular video sites? For example, someone may wish to embed videos from Hulu, Vimeo, CNN, Foxnews, MSNBC, etc.
