CNN haz mad map skillz

It is just the M$M...not like anyone should expect them to be accurate in reporting.

1) continent
2) planet
3) stellar system
4) galaxy
Credit where credit is due.

...when CNN was a respected and fairly reliable news source. Thankfully, we still have Stewart and Colbert.

Remember the end where Bernard Shaw had a cameo?

I'm getting really old.

They are still looking for the lost airliner. You can only do so much with the budget.

It is no longer a puzzle as to why they are looking for it.

it pretty much explains everything.....

"CNN The Most Trusted Name......"

how dumb are these people at CNN

That is an impressive score no matter how weak the competition.

We were howling with laughter

Here's a piece of it

I remember back in the 2000's when the media was going on about "latchkey kids" which are kids who come home to an empty house and have their own key to let themselves in. You had all these anchors with six or seven figure incomes being appalled that the working poor weren't paying for a sitter for the few hours between when they got off from school and the first parent got home from work. They acted like those parents were guilty of child endangerment and should have their kids taken away.

That topic vanished fast when it was discovered that it was more common than it was first believed.

Thanks for that image, Spitfire!

I remember that tournament and Wolfie did so badly that they made an exception and let him participate in Final Jeopardy anyway. He thought that King David and Jesus were both born in Jerusalem and I howled like a maniac when he missed that one. I'd venture to say that even someone with little to no religious training have heard about oh little town of Bethlehem.

Andy was remarkable all the way thru to the end in that competition.

And he is in charge of the maps at CNN.

On the bright side, CNN news is such a loser in the news market, that they now fill much of their prime time early and mid evening hours with Anthony Bourdain.
Bourdain is one of the few really and truly independent investigative reporters on TV.

Sure you get to watch a lot of meals that are eaten, and discussions with famous foreign chefs, but his report on the Israeli bombing of Beirut back during George W's reign was one of the more openly informative things I have ever seen on TV. I was amazed that the Travel or Food network actually ran the hour long program.

CNN has moved Nigeria away from the coast, presumably to better quarantine the nation until the disease has run its course, but what the fuck did they do with Niger?

Does anybody know?

somewhere here in the US.

Prepare for the outrage...

How frickin hard is it to label a map?

Do they know there is this free thing you can use called Google?

Hong Kong is now in South America? LMAO. And Cambodia is now in Africa. Oh look, Tripoli is a city in Israel.

CNN, I swear.

maps, not so much.

Two words: Wolf Blitzer.

you know, joke.

I think it may be some sort of medical thing.

somebody that jacks off with IcyHot."

With apologies for taking liberty with the Boondocks.

I'll have to adjust my travel plans.

in South American Hong Kong

was born there. There is an arrow pointing to it. They just got the wrong Tripoli.

where Lebanon is.

the target.

Bizarre.

Not that it isn't bad enough as is.

It happens in TV newsrooms everywhere. You get what you pay for. Knowledge isn't free.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

The Vice President had one of his moments yesterday (to me it's part of Biden's personality and makes him charming and endearing).

“There is no reason the nation of African cannot, and should not, join the ranks of the world’s most prosperous nations,” Biden told leaders at the U.S.-African Business Forum in Washington" on Tuesday.
