We all know now that Fox news can’t find Egypt on a map (click here to see that doosie!) but it seems that CNN has outdone their earlier effort to beat Fox as the “dumbest US News Network”.
Not content with putting Queensland where Tasmania ought to be (click HERE for that post), CNN just seems to get even more confused – or lazy – about foreign geography.
This time, no one can accuse me (or anyone else) of “doctoring” any map using Photoshop to paint US news networks as downright ignorant and just plain stupid. This one is exactly as published – on CNN!
In an article HERE, CNN says:
“Yasi is expected hit overnight Wednesday, according to The Australian, and will come ashore between Innisfail and Proserpine, directly hitting Queensland’s capital, Townsville.”
Come again? Last time I looked, the capital of Queensland was Brisbane!
Dumb US news network score so far: Fox 1 – CNN 2
I remember when the chaser’s did a visit to the US asking the general population on the stree where some of the 7 wonders of the world were on a map and where Australia was etc. and I’m sure it was bias for comedy reasons but it still really showed how very close minded their country really is. Their current president didn’t even have a passport till he was elected !!!!
Even invitations to exotic tropical fish forums are more exciting than this!
This is very dull.
Where’s the meat and potatoes??
Also daily zeitgeist is a tortology.
Well, you don’t have to read it if you don’t like it. You (still) live in a free country…
And I think the word you’re after is “tautology”. But I’m somewhat confiused as to why you think the name “Daily Zeitgeist” is a tautology?
“Tautology [from Greek , 'tauto': the same, and 'logos': word/idea] is an unnecessary or unessential (and sometimes unintentional) repetition of meaning, using different and dissimilar words that effectively say the same thing (often originally from different languages).”
If you can’t see the figurative impetus behind the name I have chosen, then there is really no point discussion it with you.
