A CNN classic!

[Bragi]

:large

Goes with this one:

[Glimmer of Hope]

1. What an embarrassment they are!

[LawDeeDah]

2. Scotland must be like a baseball team - giving it 110%!

[BlueStreak]

4. Dang it. That was MY punch line. :)

[Phentex]

3. This made me laugh OUT loud!

[Bragi]

9. The Wolf on Jeopardy pic is a howler /nt

[RoBear]

5. "Goes with this one"

how????

What am I missing???? (I'm a little addled (is that the word?) from celebrating KObaCH getting his ass kicked by the Kansas Supreme Court)

[Bragi]

7. Both showcase CNN news coverage

[RoBear]

25. yeh.

thought of it later. Part of the problem is that when I see him on CNN I immediately turn away; you'd think I'd have had the same reaction, but there it is.

Thanks for the great post, BTW!!!

[Brigid]

6. Even I'm better at math than that.

[Chakab]

8. That Wolf Blitzer Jeopardy picture gets me every time.

[Bragi]

10. It's a laugh tonic for me too ! /nt

[Brother Buzz]

11. I'll take geography for $100, Alex

[Bragi]

13. Hah! Good one I! /nt

[pintobean]

17. 9 meters in English is what?

[Brother Buzz]

19. Yes! That was one painfully stupid day for Rick Sánchez!

[pintobean]

26. Yeah, that was a bad day

but he's had worse moments.

[Aerows]

23. *Sigh*

Well, at least they found the country they were reporting on and had a person that could "translate" those horrid figures from metres to feet (and meters to "English&quot LMAO!

[LiberalAndProud]

12. At which blog did you find that?

Thinking it might be a photoshop. Funny though.

[Bragi]

14. Can't remember

But I think it's real.

[Aerows]

16. No, they showed Nigeria as taking up the region of Niger

a few days ago. B2G posted a line "Ebola is worse than we thought, it is moving countries."

Another classic was Thailand being located off of the western coast of Africa.

I'm pretty sure CNN thinks *South Africa* is somewhere next to Rwanda since I saw a graphic posting it there.

Next we will see Lisbon, Portugal positioned as an island off of Greece.

[Aerows]

18. Nope.

Sadly, that is only ONE of their geographical screw-up. If they can't buy a map, they can afford an intern to take two minutes to look up something on Wikipedia. I realize it isn't rigorously peer-reviewed but most people know where their damn country is if they can state their currency, HID Index and border states.

[LiberalAndProud]

20. 'kay. True enough then.

TV news just ain't what it used to be.

[Aerows]

21. It truly isn't

I haven't seen such a gaggle of foolishness since I looked for Arkansas to border Nebraska.

[LiberalAndProud]

22. It could happen.

What value has Ar, in the larger scheme of things? Without that it would be Kansas, and there it is, right next to Nebraska. It's a Zen thing.

[Aerows]

15. Did they display the graphic of Denmark or Finland?

They have a history of moving countries around. Last I checked Nigeria was in the middle of Africa and I won't even speculate on where exactly the graphic showed where SOUTH AFRICA was. I'm pretty sure it's not in the middle of the continent.

[Aerows]

24. Ebola is now moving countries.

[Bragi]

30. Breaking -- Nigeria annexes Niger! /nt

[ReRe]

27. Like I keep saying...

...CNN is Fox Lite.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

28. ...

[Enthusiast]

29. CNN is in competition with Fox.

Clearly.
