When CBS News pointed incorrectly to a region in Murcia, Spain when trying to locate La Palma, an island in the Canaries, the internet did its thing.
I know, geography can be SO confusing! The Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption sits on the Iberian Peninsula of Spain, but when CBS gave this report on the catastrophe, they pointed to a region in Murcia, Spain, 2,219 kilometres away. To be fair, a La Palma does exist in the region of Murcia near Cartagena. When speaking about an island, however, it is not too difficult to see the mistake when CBS points to a region on the coast of Spain rather than, you know…an island

Slow news day. Whaddya got Joe reporter?
Oh, they won’t know, just put it up like it’s in a big country like say Spain for example and you could throw in something about end of the world and will wipe out eastern seaboard if you want. Bible prophecy. No they will never realize the follow up stories come from our newspaper located on the eastern seaboard…

Spain will be surprised they have an active volcano.Actually the active volcano is in the nation of Spain, in the same sense that a volcano in Hawaii is in the United States. The Canaries are part of Spain, but of course they are not on the Iberian Peninsula.
To: fruser1
Commies have a mental blind spot per the Canaries because that’s where Franco was stationed before he head out to kick their ass in the Spanish Civil War.
Partner, good one.
