Oh, Look: CNN Can't Even Label States on a Map Correctly
Townhall.com ^ | April 25, 2020 | Bronson Stocking

CNN is now telling us that Michigan is in fact Minnesota. When reporting that some businesses in Michigan can now reopen, the cable network used a map that incorrectly labeled The Wolverine State as Minnesota. If President Trump had made the same mistake, CNN would be calling Trump a murderer for incorrectly telling Minnesotans that it was now safe to reopen their businesses. It's only fair, then, that we highlight CNN's struggles with geography. 

CNN fails geography. Again.

Hi @CNN, I know you guys are busy analyzing lines on a map, but perhaps you use your time to study up on U.S. geography? pic.twitter.com/kVgifHfPK4— Kayleigh McEnany (@PressSec) September 5, 2019

Gov. Whitmer extended her stay-at-home order through May 15th but loosened some of her more draconian restrictions, like her ban on purchasing harmless items like garden seeds and paint. She also allowed a very limited number of businesses, like bicycle repair shops and plant nurseries, to reopen.

So they got confused.

Map? I thought it was a graphic of Madonna’s new tramp stamp.

Their phony tin dim Kenyan messiah said there were 57 states.

He actually said there were 61: he had visited 57 during his campaign, he had two more to go, and there were two he wasn't going to bother with.

I’d LOVE to grill Jim Acosta on why he’s so stupid. “Jim, when are you going to level with the American people [that you don’t know a darn thing about anything]?!”

And who can forget the time legendary CNN anchor Rick Sanchez said Hawaii was only 500 miles off the west coast?

Michigan and Minnesota, what’s the difference?
1. Both state names begin with “M”.
2. Both states border on Canada and on Lake Superior.
3. Both states have loony Muslims in congress, Omar and Tlaib.
4. Both states have loony Democrats as governors.

No wonder CNN can’t tell them apart.

I am the belief that whoever wrote that tweet actually thought that was how you abbreviate Michigan.

Michigan Minnesota. These are the same Mensa media giants who will run cover for Joe Biden’s screwups like confusing Iowa and Idaho.
