in fact he`s doing it very very very right
Oh? Look at the name of the nation in between Iran and Syria, and say that again?
Look up Egypt sometime.
lol, he meant right wing
(nods) this is Fox News LOL this is exactly how their viewers see it…
it’s kinda hard to notice it, but it is wrong, but some countries are misplaced, the easiest to notice is that egypt should be south of israel
very very right is a comment on FOX’s politics, morons.
Carry on, annoos, you’re doing it … right.
speaking of israel where the hell is it in this pic
There’s a label pointing right at it.
lol, i actually didn’t notice, i was focused on the white countries. but i guess iraq and egypt switch places when they’re feeling like it…
“i was focused on the white countries” – and that’s how we got into this mess!
^ WIN
Egypt is in northern Africa.
Umm. This is a failure comic. He’s in fact doing it correctly.
That is the middle east.
your comment hurts to read… your stupidity is offensive to me…
@Mr. Right Tell me something, is stupidity hereditary in your family or were you just raised like that?
This poster makes me derp. What part about that is doing it very wrong?
Egypt is in the wrong place on that map. It should be labeled as the country west of the one that “Israel” points to (to the left).
Actually it can’t be more right than this…
that’s right you dolt
Last time I check out for egypt it was in Africa. Well, might have moved since, along with 5000 thousand years of history.
Yeah, Egypt is in Africa, but Egypt is not mentioned anywhere on this map. yes it is shown, but in the right place. if the problem is «middle east», learn that this part of Africa is also considered «middle east».
It has Iraq labeled as Egypt, for starters. It’s sad that you don’t know that.
Errr, no it isn’t. For one, Egypt is the OTHER side of Jordan. In NORTH AFRICA.
Yeah moron

Oh Johnny… Johnny Johnny Johnny…
learn2geography before calling people dolts, k?

american
If you think America should be anywhere on this map then you’re watchign WAYYYYYYY too much FOX NEWS
you,my friend,fail
Hint: Egypt is in Africa.
http://www.interopp.org/img_rmap/reg_me_pol_lg_1998.jpg
Evidently Iraq is Egypt now.
very very right….
As long as Egypt and Iraq are interchangable.
And the Suez is no longer in Egypt.
No, according to Mr. Chris Matthews from MSNBC, the Panama Canal is located in Egypt, not the Suez Canal. Get it right because the liberal media is ALWAYS correct!!
Its been hard enough in Iraq over the last few decades but this could be the final straw. Who’s going to be brave enough to tell them tomorrow morning they are now Egyptians?
Egypt is in africa lol
ehmm.. There are no mistakes in that picture. I’ve been there a few times, so i would know.
I take it you were drunk the whole time. Or maybe just keeping your head down.
Here’s another good one. So much for that vaunted Swiss neutrality:
http://localhost.nl/stuff/images/cnn-switzerland.jpg
Wow, the Czech Republic -now conquered by Switzerland
Mmmm…I like Swiss cheese.
Well this IS on Fox, so it must be right.
And of course its on Fox news.
Shows how much republicans know
Fun Fact: Fox News is registered as an “Entertainment” channel, thus it’s ability to put out such innaccuracies and not being taken off the air for it. although in this case, it’s ironic satire, as they don’t know that they’re being satirical about it.
Fun fact: Fox news is a cable channel, thus it is for pay and outside the auspices of the FCC. It can’t be “taken off the air.”
Fun Fact: A large enough lawsuit will take any channel off the air.
Look at the post above your’s. CNN with a mistake. All News networks do it. I don’t know how it happens, but it does.
No, only American news newtwork do it
As a 3rd party outsider (not american) you would be best to know that both FOX and CNN aren’t considered “reliable” news sources. They’re kind of the laughing stock reference point for “extremism”. *starwipe with rainbow* “the more you know”
Bless you! “News” programs speak the truth…as they want you to see it, not as it really occurs. So sad.
Yeah, I sure as hell would like to know how can anyone get a wrong map? I mean, shouldn’t they take it from realiable sources???
It isn’t as if they made the map, they probably just didn’t look at it very carefully, which is stupid, but it happens.
Well, really, what does it matter? It’s not like anything newsworthy has happened in Egypt recently, right?
You win a year’s supply of Intertubes.
Egypt? That place is only famous for those pyramids. They still have pharaohs, right?
Tut tut tut…
Ankh Amon.
In the wake of Saddam’s demise:
Egypt has conquered Iraq!
Didn’t we do this one already?
Americans don’t know where Iraq is?
Also, I am sad I almost wrote iRaq as in iPhone
No, Fox News doesn’t know where Iraq is.
I would say Republicans, but that’s just little too much generalization for me.
Too much generilization?
…Are you sure you’re on the Internet?
nah, you would be rather accurate
Do we really need to point out some mistakes that the Democrats have made? How about Obama “visited 57 states and had one left to go”? Sure he was tired, but no one is allowed to make mistakes, right? Or maybe the hate-filled Chris Matthews, a die-hard Democrat on MSNBC, who said that getting through the Panama Canal would be hard now that there is an uprising in Egypt.
Obviously, you overlook the mistakes of those who are on “your side” of an issue. Obama and Matthews are human, and so are the people behind Fox News. Get over yourselves already.
Admittedly it’s the mistakes made on purpose that usually get people riled up about FOX, but their slovenliness in general is kind of a poor reflection on us as a Country. Their crawl is rife with spelling errors, the have entire sections in fact-checker sites devoted to their stories and maps like this are hardly an exception to the rule for their graphics department. When Comedy Central has a better track record for accurate reporting than you do, you become a bigger joke than they are.
Mubarak was convinced to resign with such vigor that the entire country moved? Or Fox just doesn’t want to admit that Iraq exists…just forget the whole invasion thing.
Yeah, nothing major… It’s not like there have been huge social unrest over the last few days and the President flew after having let the country to his best friend M. Vice President. I guess we shouldn’t expect too many people to know better than Fox News…
only on fox news. shows again how less knowledge conservative americans have.
Only on the internet. Someone attacks someone else with poor grammar.
“shows again how less knowledge conservative americans have.”
How less? Don’t you mean how much less? I love the have at the “end” of the sentence. Dude, there needs to be more. You need to tell us “than what.” Your argument would be of more value if you had one, instead of stating an idiotic opinion that is readily dismissed.
Looking at your name, English might be your second language. If that’s true, then you doubly fail. You can’t be a “bringer of light” if you cannot communicate properly. Besides, on average, conservative Americans have more money, and have completed more post-secondary education then liberal Americans , so the knowledge portion of your argument is invalid. Whether or not conservative Americans actually use the knowledge that they’ve gained is another argument altogether.
too long, didn’t read..
but i think that ur mad bro… y so mad?
Conservatives have more money because they are crooked; they have more post-secondary education because they have the money to send their stupid brats to Harvard or Yale even when they are too stupid to piss a hole in the snow, or spot Egypt on a map.
Yeah, that’s why all the Harvard brats turn out ultra conservative like the boys from Rage Against The Machine right? Please.
Whoa, calling out a liberal on his error? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? ONLY REPUBLICANS CAN BE WRONG! JIMMMMMMYYYYYY…..
If you can make this argument in any other language, preferably whatever it might be that lichtbringer speaks, then I would respect your criticism of someone communicating in a second (or third or fourth or whatever) language. If you have a grasp of only one, have a little respect for those more adept than you. If you are fluent in multiple languages, my apologies for thinking you a rude dolt.
Voce esta falando a quem aqui. Eu falo mais que uma lingua e sou conservativo. Falo duas linguas fluentemente e uma terceira lingua quasi fluentement.
Your Dutch is possibly the worst I’ve ever seen written.
Just because somebody can do the tests doesn’t make them smart.
Clever as anything guy in my school still thinks thumbs are a type of finger….
“more post-secondary education THEN liberal Americans?”
touche, sir, touche.
Dear rest of the world,
We apologize for and are deeply embarrassed by “FOX News.” Please believe that not all Americans are this ignorant.
Sincerely,
The smart Americans
Apology accepted. You must be one of those sane Americans I’ve been hearing about every now and then.
Greetings from Holland
You are like Waldo? They say you exist, but nobody was able to find you?
yeah but we don’t wear red because we are in the gang blood or anything
Given the maps we have it’s no surprise we have trouble finding Holland..
You beat me to it… I wish FOX News would go off the air, because they just fail.
I wish all “news” programs would go off the air. They all fail. No one just reports the news anymore. Everyone just sensationalizes it. That’s how they get their ratings. I’ve seen ABC, CBS, and NBC all show the same interview, but each “news” program would edit lines out. I watched a US senator give one interview, yet because of the creative editing, each program was able to say that the senator said something different. Of course none of them reported what he actually said.
The media is designed to scare you into buying things you don’t need and voting to give politicians more money, not to inform you.
Haha you’re such a fail, you’re complaining about people talking with bad grammar (I myself write with bad grammar too), and then you say: “A US senator, whahaha fail!
Fun fact. FOX is actually owned by Democrats. Republicans (and democrats who like to make fun of republicans) are simply their target audience. Let’s not make this a political issue. It’s just FOX news being idiotic not all republicans.
ok, doosh, rupert murdoch is a democrat. next you’ll tell us he is American.
way to fail @sswipe
Not fun, not a fact. Double fail by you. Fox is owned by Newscorp, guy named Rupert Murdoch. You may have heard of him. One of the biggest conservatives in the world. And, it IS a political issue, because liberals demand facts and corrections from the programming they watch, while conservatives are content to believe whatever lie Rush or Glenn or Fox tells them.
Bull.
“…because liberals demand facts and corrections …”
All that needs to be said.
^ fail
you must have not watched Glenn Beck, or Billo lately. oh wait, maybe you are… that’s why you can’t distinguish truth from fiction… trololol
u mad?
To be honect Rey, Murdoch, will supprt whoever finances him better. In the UK, before the turn of the Millenium Murdoch’s paper The Sun, was apolitical, any political identity tended to fall to the left. Then he switched. Now he’s as reactionary as Rush Limbaugh after a minority pees on his front lawn.
I guess over in the US the Repblicans have always financed him better.
Murdoch supported the Conservatives in the 80′s right upto 1995, switching to “New Labour” in 1997 and turned Conservative again in 2009, Murdoch’s always been more cocerned with who is lining his pockets.
Taking things out of context:

Fox News:

Let the retarded bashing begin
it’s a bit sad not to know where that country they’ve been fighting from time to time for the last 20 years is actually located…
it’s even sadder to see people saying “actually that’s right”
Am i the only one who noticed that where Egypt should be is actually the border of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. Also, I have decided that Fox News is a satirical show.
I don’t see anything wroooOOOOO OH MY GOD THIS IS TERRIBLE!
This has summarized my reaction in acute detail.
I wonder how many people will understand this..
The sad part is, a lot of people won’t see anything wrong with it.
Exactly. Everybody thinks Egypt’s in the Middle East. And everybody thinks the Middle East is in Africa. And that Egypt is in Asia.
To be fair, due to cultural and geographic similarities, Egypt (and Libya) are considered to be part of the “Middle Eastern Region.” It’s not like including part of North Africa in discussions about “the Middle East” is inherently wrong.
But, you know, the country they labeled as Egypt…isn’t.
Nice shop. Except that the news ticker doesn’t look quite like that. lolololololol
Well that’s Fox for you
Why does this make it on the front page every few days? It’s old (2009 people…) and obviously ‘shoped.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/31/fox-news-cant-find-egypt-map_n_816540.html
Obvious photoshop edit is obvious… Fox News may make me embarrassed as a republican from time to time, but no one is this stupid.
“no one is this stupid”
You’re new to the Internet/life in general, aren’t you?
Actually it’s not photoshopped, you can find the video on youtube.
This is a double fail. “Egypt” is obviously in the wrong place–though some have claimed that’s a photoshop job, which I can believe. But Iran is not the Middle East, never has been, never will be. Sloppy reporting by Fox News, but then again, is anyone here surprised?
Well afaik Iran is apart of the middle east, I think you may be thinking of the fact that Iran isn’t arabic (it’s persian) but it’s still in the middle east…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Greater_Middle_East_%28orthographic_projection%29.svg (which also includes Egypt fyi)
1. “The Middle East is a region that encompasses Western Asia and North Africa.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_east (Look at the map too)
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Asia (Look at that map too)
3. “Iran, officially the Islamic Republic of Iran is a country in Central Eurasia and Western Asia.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran (compare with point 2)
4. All of these maps: http://www.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=Middle%20East&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi
Conclusion: Iran is in the Middle East, because it’s virtually impossible that everyone else is wrong and you’re right.
P.S. Yes, we know that Iranians will go to great lengths to prove that they’re not Arabs, but a) it doesn’t make you better, and b) claiming you’re not in the Middle East is ridiculous.
P.P.S. There’s nothing wrong with being Arab or Muslim, the problem is radical islamism, and there’s much more of that in Iran than in the Arab world.
So do you guys jack off to anything that mentions Fox News, or what?
Fox News: Where the facts don’t matter.
How is it no one has realized this is just a photoshop yet?
All of FOX’s graphis are photoshopped. This is definately not how the planet looks from orbit. However, this is legitimately off the air from 2008.
Have you ever heard of projections? They are mathematical representations of the earth in order to reduce the 4 types of distortion. I’d say this is fairly accurate to what it looks like from orbit. The only artwork in the map that they really did was shade the boarders of the nations in question to make them appear to pop out and be more visible. It’s really an art. Well minus the slight mistake of Egypt which this kind of stuff totally happens on an every day basis so it’s not anything against Fox News. I’ve made some of these mistakes in my career making maps as well it’s not a Fox thing I promise.
I know people hate Fox News (despite never watching it or loving far left slanted new sources like MSNBC), but seriously, this has been published about 60 times on the fail network. No biased slant at the fail network huh?
They go for whoever gives them the most material, which in this case is Fox News because it’s so easy to point out a lot of their mistakes.
They still choose which submissions to accept. Many people have been miffed when popular ones never feature, then Failbook’s “Dead baby” one now does even though it’s 3 – 1 negative in votes.
AMERICANS
The greatest map-makers in the land.
way to go yanks …
This is one of the reasons why people think the USA is stupid.
Hmmm… what a debate up there, has anyone mentioned the fact that whoever posted this pic simply PASTED EGYPT over Iraq, otherwise every liberal would be screaming about this over the airwaves(or cablewaves). You guys are idiots, both sides.
For all you people in the comments saying that is really Egypt: can you please point out the Nile River to me? And for that matter, where it spills out into the ocean, too.
Fox News. I ain’t surprised.
The Internet
Where everyday I am confused and scared by new evidence that the most powerful nation in the world is also the most retarded.
Okay so here is an idea, since all the other countries basically hate the US because of it’s map making let’s just stop sending trillions of dollars in aid to all the nations that hate us for our map making skills (even though I’ve seen some other people in other countries do worse) We can keep to ourselves I would love the reduction in taxes!
As far as fox news is concerned, Egypt and Iraq are obviously interchangeable.
god i love you. marry me?
