CNN doesn't have a clue as to where Kansas and Nebraska are.
http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/

Look at that map before it changes. They have South Dakota colored in as Nebraska and Nebraska as Kansas.

3. Honestly, if you don't know where all 50 states are you shouldn't be called a citizen.
That's disgraceful.

5. They have coastal centric disease
A failure to acknowledge that great big nation between the Bos-Wash corridor and California.

Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 04:45 PM by NastyRiffraff
And nobody there goes to their parties. How can they know where these states are, and why should they care? :sarcasm:

13. It's STILL TOTALLY FRIGGIN WRONG!
The state of Nebraska is now highlighted RED. Red indicates that Republicans are voting today. Republicans aren't doing ANYTHING today. ONLY the Democratic primaries.

16. i think it's kinda funny, kinda sad. Quality control is really bad on these cable stations.
To be fair, it is not "CNN" that made the mistake, but the web graphics person.

Still, the final responsibility belongs to them.
MSNBC and FOX also have major mistakes quite often.


"It's the soft bigotry of low expectations" I guess :)

18. In fairness, the M$M main focus is profit. Give 'em a break.
They aren't really there to educate or provide valuable info.
