Fox News graphics department has shaky grasp of Mideast geography

by Media Matters staff

From the July 27 edition of Fox News’ The Live Desk (hat tip to Twitter user StefanoScalia):

Some site comments to the above:

• They seriously have Iraq labeled Egypt? Wow…just…wow.
• Now that’s what I call liberating a country. It’s not even there any more.
• See, this is what I like about Fox. They let you decide where Egypt is instead of having some fancy pants elitist tell ya!
• That’s right. Fox viewers don’t need a map or God forbid a book to tell them where Egypt is. If their guts tell them it’s between Syria and Iran who are you to tell them that it’s not.
• The word “whuts” was quite obviously intentionally misspelled. The best educational system in the world can’t compensate for stupid.
• At least they didn’t label any of those counties with “(D)”. Congrats
