From the Throwing Stones division of Glass Houses, Inc., comes this story of Fox News finding it irresistible to hammer MSNBC for airing a segment with a conspicuously mislabeled map. This evening their community web site, the Lie-riddled Fox Nation<\/a>, posted an item pointing the finger of shame at MSNBC.<\/p>\n

To be sure, MSNBC’s graphics department has cause to be embarrassed. They managed to post a map with four cities highlighted and misplaced every one of them. It’s hard to imagine how they could have screwed up so badly without suspecting that new intern who used to work for Fox.<\/p>\n

However, it takes a special kind of Chutzpah sauce for Fox to go out of their way to report their competitor’s error. Fox has made so many mistakes of this sort that they had to send out a “Zero Tolerance”<\/a> memo threatening their staff with termination if they didn’t clean up their act:<\/p>\n

\u201cMistakes by any member of the show team that end up on air may result in immediate disciplinary action against those who played significant roles in the \u2018mistake chain,\u2019 and those who supervise them. That may include warning letters to personnel files, suspensions, and other possible actions up to and including termination.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"FauxThat memo appeared to have no effect since the errors kept occurring unabated. Fox would mess up charts<\/a>. They would mess up photos<\/a>. And most of all, they would mess up maps.<\/p>\n

The graphic below shows just a few of the egregious errors that have graced Fox News. They placed Egypt, instead of Iraq, in between Syria and Iran. They labeled Vermont as New Hampshire. They colored in Utah but called it Nevada. And, my personal favorite, they listed one of Japan’s nuclear power facilities as \u201cShibuyaeggman.\u201d<\/em> The problem is that there is no reactor in Shibuyaeggman. In fact, there is no Shibuyaeggman. Although, there is a disco called Eggman in a Tokyo neighborhood called Shibuya, and while the dance action is hot, it is not reported to be radioactive.<\/p>\n

It’s bad enough that Fox gets their actual “news”<\/em> stories wrong with phony reports and analyses that distort facts, or leaves them out altogether, but they can’t even get the simple things right. Sure, everyone makes mistakes, but Fox has made mistakes their specialty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
