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

If only there was some sort of device that you could pick up and ask questions to find information, before you look like an idiot.

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.

This volcano has been erupting a month. Did they not see any reports about it?

The Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption sits on the Iberian Peninsula of Spain..... CBS is not the only one who got it wrong. Cumbre Vieja is a volcanic ridge on the island of La Palma. It is about 800 miles from Spain. Spain, together with Portugal, IS the Iberian Peninsula.

Only the modern mass media utilizing American graduates of Columbia University can be this dumb. It's not like they don't know how to goog the answers to their tests.
