Re: CNN and geography
well is nothing new to me.they made the same mistake in 2002 when US attacked Irak.i see that they never corect that map.
also , this mistakes of CNN are not singular.i heard many times telling that Budapest in capital of Romania
but this is common to occidental press , especially from france.

Re: CNN and geography
that is absurd
how can these people make a professional living from covering international events and not know their asses from their elbows?
freedom of the press to be total imbeciles should have been an extension to the amendment
if someone is unable to tell me the location of each country in europe, its capital and the ethnic/religious makeup, i dont want to hear a word about what they think regarding European occurences.

Re: CNN and geography
I bet the Czechs were surprised to learn they're living in Switzerland...or maybe the Swiss to find out that their native mountain range all along has NOT been the Alps.
If CNN made this mistake, then FOX must think Switzerland is somewhere in Central America...

I find it more significant that CNN apparently think that their audience needs help in locating Germany.

See the world is run by banks... just not Jewish ones... Swiss, with their clocks, multifunctional pocket knives, swatches and banks are now incorporating other cultures.
