You were watching CNN on a Saturday night? There wasn't anything better to watch like maybe QVC or the Lint Channel?

Close enough...CNN got the planet correct in 1 out of nine possibilities. Geography does not appear to be a CNN strong suit.

Journalists - they know so much they want to run your lives.

CNN doesn’t see anything wrong with a Kenyan in the WH either ;-)

CNN viewers did not recognize the error.

It was early Saturday morning and I was switching channels. CNN had a story coming up about bees in China, then that popped up on the screen. I saw it at 6:45 am, so it looks like it was shown several times before they caught it ...

"Sum Ting Wong"

"Wi Tu Lo"

I didn't see this.

But I did see a couple of graphics on FNC recently--I think it was Saturday--that caught my attention: One spoke of a "fiery car rash" in Tennessee; and the other mentioned President Obama's canceling his planned "strip" to Asia.

One has to wonder if these were just innocent mistakes; or if the person in charge of the graphics was being cute...

Ahhhhhhhhh. LIVs would hardly notice. Most of them don’t even know what US state Canada is in.

Maybe the intern got a new job at CNN !!!

Ahhhhhh , no worries, it’s the result of the government shutdown since they have to hire scabs to work for the Communist National Network.

[American Constitutionalist]

BINGO ! it’s that same attitude that we so hold them in contempt.

There’s only two things you have to know to work at CNN.

1. The toilet has one handle and the sink has two handles. Don’t wash your hands in the one that only has one handle.

2. When’s payday.

We don’t even have a Chinatown down here in Brazil. We do havea Japantown and Koreatown though.

This is at least as credible as the Arizona Republic placing the Republic of Georgia in the southeastern United States.

Most of them CNN audience know that Yonkers ( New York ) is some kind of derogatory sexual term for homos.

“Idiocracy” is unfolding.

My favorite is the drying paint channel, especially beige paint.

Let's see, CNN got the wrong continent, wrong hemisphere and wrong side of the equator. And Brazil is about as far awang from Hong Kong that you can get on this planet.
