[demmiblue]

3. Please tell me that is shopped!

:crazy:

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. I got it from a site referred to by Jeremy Scahill's tweet.

[ehrnst]

31. From huffpo from 2009 (nt)

[Sonoman]

4. I wonder why they did that - it had to be intentional.

Was it to keep the mouth-breathers pumped up about Iran and Syria?

That was no 'mistake'.

11. OMG, I'm afraid you're right.

No other reasonable explanation I can think of for this whopper

[Occulus]

35. Especially if you take it in context with their (D) (R) mixups when Republicans suffer a scandal.

This was in no way unintentional. FOX News is classic propaganda. They knew exactly what they were doing.

[louis-t]

5. Uh, that's Iraq!

Idiots.

[Angry Dragon]

6. To fox they all look the same

[OneGrassRoot]

10. True story. n/t

[upi402]

7. Fox friends want to make it one big glass bowl anyway

:nuke:

[arcane1]

8. Please tell me this is fake

Please!!!! :crazy:

[Justitia]

9. OMG. Sooooo, what'd they do w/Iraq???? -eom

[SmileyRose]

15. Maybe it's under Bushco's desk with the WMD's.

snark

[Capitalocracy]

13. When did this happen?

This happened before. Is this the second time or is it the same instance?

[Tejas]

14. LOL, probably drawn by one of Leno's "jaywalkers".

[underpants]

16. Hold it - we invaded Egypt in 2003?

Man those Neo-Cons are just relishing in it right now.

20. "The Neo-Cons were just sure that they could reshape the Middle East"

aha!!!!!
So they got Fox to do it for them!!!

I get it now.....:rofl:

[underpants]

22. As David Frum let out - Fox News is their boss and their reality

Frum was again shown the door.

[malaise]

33. DUzy

:rofl:

[Hydra]

17. That's so awesome and scary at the same time

If all of our news people and all of our reference documents were changed overnight, how many people would realize that the country names and borders were changed?

And those of us who did, how could we convince those people of what had happened?

[appleannie1]

19. YOU couldn't. For them only Sarah knows where countries are.

[dixiegrrrrl]

24. Well, only if she can see them from Alaska, I think.

[arcane1]

18. Ah, it's apparently real, and from 2009

Not that it makes me feel any better:

[Capitalocracy]

26. I thought this was from before. Otherwise...

it would've been like: We apologize for the mistake in the map. The map people have been sacked.

We apologize for the new mistake in the map. The people responsible for sacking the map people, have been sacked.

[lunasun]

21. Well then this way they can link the new egypt emerging this week with iran = they must be evil

[Lint Head]

23. They are trying to demonstrate Egypt being between two anti Israeli

countries. They are sooooooooooooo stupid. The people that watch Faux Boobs are suckers. That's how lying propaganda works

[Wilms]

25. Hey. If that's where Fox says it is, that's good enough for some 20-30% of 'Mercans.

Maybe they'll label one of the empty spots "Venezuela".

[kgnu_fan]

27. For the Neocon, the land is theirs to occupy and dominate. It is intentional .

[Yavapai]

28. Oh yes, Egypt, it's in the bible,

right between the Euphrates and the Tigris rivers. You remember now don't you, the Garden of Sand...

"OK all you Iraqis and Egyptians, pack up, you are trading places and it might take 40 years or so!"

The Suez canal will take you straight to....Turkey????

[fishwax]

29. oh gracious

That's Fox News for ya ...

[IDemo]

30. Have they identified Mubarak as a Democrat yet?

[Obamanaut]

32. Nearly two years old, One would imagine the error has since been corrected. nt

[CJvR]

34. Fox not the only one...

...I noted that Al Jazz had Alexandria right next to Kairo deep inland on a map yesterday.
