FOX News Doesn’t Know Where Iraq Is

In a comment to an earlier article of mine showing FOX News’ tendency to mislabel badly-behaving Republicans as Democrats, “RODAN” pointed me to this map of the middle east shown on FOX News in segment where Neil Cavuto interviewed John Bolton on Monday – note the country marked “Egypt”:

The problem is: that’s not Egypt, that’s Iraq! Here’s a real map of the middle east:

You’d think that with their obsessions with terror, Muslims and safeguarding the nation, not to mention the presence of a former representative to the U.N. present, they’d know where Iraq was.

  • To be fair, Fox News doesn't know where a lot of stuff is, including things located directly below their backs.

  • I have to give them some credit. It must be really hard to draw a map with your head up your ass.

  • Heh, as always, anything that's outside the continental United States is a mystery to the average American. And FOX News is clearly below average. Therefore this result is unsurprising.

    Here's an example: Ask 100 Americans in which country they think the Tour de France finished. (And bonus points for the city.) And another: was it true that George W Bush had never been outside the US before being elected President? The mind boggles.

  • Come on, Alex! FOX News mis-labeling a map is sad, but anti-American racism is sadder. I know you mean well, but FOX does not speak for the majority of the American people by a long shot.

  • Fox news is upsetting. It's easy to get carried away and paint it as representative of America, but realize it's only representative of the people who voted in Bush. Twice. Unfortunately for the world, that was the majority. Twice.

    Ahg.

    At least things are getting better.
