Fox News recently confused Iraq with Egypt in an on-air map. As many readers of Negev Rock City are aware, Fox News is an American cable television news station. The United States, as many readers are also aware, currently maintains an extensive military presence in Iraq. (Via)
So … how does this even happen?

It happens because the PAs, Associate Producers and Graphic Editors are too busy Tumblin’ to notice their mistakes.

This makes me cringe so so much. Maps are the most nerve-wrecking graphics to make for news.

Fox News lives up to its reputation here.
