Hadn’t realized Rick Sanchez was already back at CNN.

“Sure, we’ve all been focusing a lot on Japan lately, and by now most of us have really brushed up on our Japanese geography, far better able to place Tokyo and Sendai on a map”

LOL,, I KNOW,,
it’s been a geography lesson these last couple of months
“Whoa! i didnt realize North Africa really looked like that”
“MAN! They’re kinda all bunched up together right there aint they?!?”

“they’ve created a ripple in The Force by bringing that whole Nancy Pelosi San Francisco liberal vibe all the way down to San Diego County. ”

lol,, now wouldnt that be funny

“The fleets in!”

Ah. Must be graduates of the Barack Obama 57 States And Counting School.

That is the 57th state that Obama was headed for.

Hey Harry, all great minds think alike. Your post wasn’t there when I wrote mine.

J$ has a great piece titled Map Flap Gap that makes some very interesting comparisons:

Check it out for a good read.

Thanks for the link, Grammie! What liberal media bias, eh marky mark!?

“CNN’s Weird California Map: You Know, San Francisco. Right There Near Mexico?”

Name three things you will NEVER hear from a lamestream socialist “Corrupt B-tard” media stooge of the lunatic-left d-crat socialists: The TRUTH, The FACTS, REALITY.

On the other hand, that might be an IDEOLOGICAL MAP, instead of a geographic map. Sanctuary City San Francisco, home of crazy pelosi, is TOTALLY and COMPLETELY aligned with mexico and NOT with the US, so putting SF and mexico next to one another ideologically makes complete sense..

Notice how when CNN makes a mistake it’s politically neutral?

That’s how you can tell it is a mistake instead of a sack of lies like the Fox News “mistakes”.

No child left behind!

Johnny had that up at 11:30 this morning. Look how long it took to get a funny little tongue in cheek piece up about it as compared to the FOX piece:

Did Fox News Misidentify A Japanese Nightclub As A Nuclear Power Plant? had an H/T to Media Matters.

Where is J$’s H/T?

You guys are hilarious. I don’t know what some of you are talking about, but if you’re suggesting we stole this story from J$, you are mistaken. He may have written it up ahead of us, but we didn’t steal it from him.

I didn’t say that at all but asked where is J$’s H/T. I did ask b/c J$ had the story hours earlier and I had sent a tip to Mediaite with the title and link to the story.

The answer is that you didn’t learn of it from J$ or anyone else but by your own web surfing.

I’m sorry if I implied and you inferred plagiarism from what I said. It was definitely not my intention.

@Grammie: Spud had it linked last night with a h/t to J$ and a link pointing toward another blog. Based on J$’s timestamp and the fact that Spud didn’t link to a specific post, I assume he either tweeted or emailed the tip, but it all could be considered evidence that the image is floating the web.

@Mark Joyella: Not to be a nit-picker, but you are pretty stingy with the hat-tips and because the small image is identical to the one used by the others, it’s only natural that one might think it came from another source.

Obviously, the oracles on MSNBC had nothing to say about this.

They are so kind! They did not want to commit fratricide.

Misinforming viewers works so well for FoxNews ratings, maybe CNN was trying it out, see how well it works…

“Spud had it linked last night with a h/t to J$ and a link pointing toward another blog. Based on J$’s timestamp and the fact that Spud didn’t link to a specific post, I assume he either tweeted or emailed the tip”

Not exactly. I linked to it shortly after midnight (EDT) this morning. Spud saw my link and linked to it also, hence the h/t to me. Around 11:40 this morning I did a separate post on the (lack of) internet reaction to the gaffe.

You guys are hilarious. I don’t know what some of you are talking about, but if you’re suggesting we stole this story from J$, you are mistaken. He may have written it up ahead of us, but we didn’t steal it from him.

Mary, Grammie hit it on the head. The reason for the criticism is because when FOX made the mistake, you guys had it up pretty much when it happened. When it’s CNN that makes the error (and come on, both of these examples are pretty lame if you ask me), it takes you forever to finally post something. I mean it took you guys a week and then you barely mentioned the death threats to Repubs in WI. We are looking for some journOlistic integrity, that’s all. If you are going to skewer FOX and the tea party, you’d better do the same with the other side or we will point it out. And the thin skin of some of you here at Mediaite (I’m thinking of some others now), is pretty funny. If you are going to be a hypocrite, as least be man enough to take it when it’s pointed out.

I really enjoyed your piece on this Johnny! Keep up the great work!

@J$: Apologies. I saw it first via ICN and though I looked at your site before writing my comment, I apparently missed the link.

And that brings us full circle back to the original discussion, doesn’t it?

Liberal Tormentor said:
blah blah blah

First Mediaite isn’t covering these kind of stories enough and then when it does it is too slow.

WHINE MOAR

Funny how mediaite dragged its feet on this story, and yet, due to the heads-up (relationship with?) media matters, slammed FNC immediately.

JD points out how the rest of the liberal left ignored CNN’s gaffe, and how mediaite took it’s sweet time in even noting it.

I guess the direct line between mediaite and MM only deals with FNC topics, well that and I’m sure MM didn’t bother to report it there at all,.

Not whining, Big Friggin Dummy, just pointing out hypocrisy where I see it. I can help it if it’s an epidemic among you libs.

You idiots are even calling out conservative Matt Schneider in the ‘This Is Embarrassing’ thread.

There is absolutely no pleasing you malcontents and sane people have given up trying.

We all just let you all happily hang from crosses with nails in your hands and feet.

What’s more telling from his piece is that one network makes mistakes so much that it has a website basically dedicated to watching it. I’m sure if CNN were such a blatant lying liars, they would have a web site watching them for other people to easily reference also.

I don’t think it’s too far-fetched of a notion to suggest that Mediaite follows the blogging on an anti-FNC site like Media Matters, rather than monitoring a pro-FNC site Johnny Dollar’s Place.

There’s no surprise there…

They do have such sites watching them. News Busters and Johnny Dollar’s Place are just two that are “easily referenced”.

Before you call those sites politically biased, note that Media Matters is an anti-FNC site with a political agenda.

What is largely overlooked in the drivel that started with coverage of FNC making a mistake about Japanese geography (let alone making one about California…) is that 24 hours cable makes such mistakes. It happens and really shouldn’t do much but cause a brief chortle.

However, in FNC’s case such mistakes are an opportunity for politically motivated folks to not only impugn the network, but to make the most pejorative of observations about FNC viewers as well.

Well, you had your week of fun then and now CNN has done something sillier and it’ll be a mere blimp. So let’s not confuse the issue by suggesting such “monitoring” of mistakes and the ensuring brouhaha over any that happen at FNC is about “lies” or “quality” or anything more than political gamesmanship.

So without making

@ Nacho

They have sites that watch them too… but FNC has more, and more “journalists” read them. It’s the price you pay when you’re popular, and allow people with a politcal perspective different than most journalists to voice their opinion.

Besides, stories about FNC mistakes get page clicks. There is no shortage of angry lefties ready to post, “FNC is terrible, everything they’ve ever said is a lie, I hate them I hate them I hate them I hate them…” and so on.

Oh well… it’s all so predictable.

What fun?
I watch cable news constantly and I NEVER saw any network mention the Fox Japan flap.
I myself never entered that thread on Mediaite and could give a flying f@#k about those stupid graphic gaffes.

The only people who care about it are you extreme bloggers who make it your lifes work playing gothcha for your own side.
But really, no one else gives a shit.

I’ll be darned. All this time, the left wing posters have been trying to please us.

So can you provide some links to where the “mainstream” media hay about that Fox News gaffe?
Not bloggers, major media.

Either I missed it or your hanging around on blogs has really warped your perspective on what is important.

Why do you want Cecelia to provide proof of a claim that she NEVER made but that you have brought up.

Now that is tortured twisted logic, or rather illogic.

Grammie, there’s no pleasing you.

After replying to Nacho’s comment about “websites” that monitor FNC, why would I sniff at your red herring, when I never made a distinction between Fox critics having a “week of fun” reading Gawker, Media Matters, Huffo-Po, and numerous online sites reporting on the FNC goof-up ( including this one), from your distinction that such dubious attention is only relevant if it comes from media entities such as the NYT, NBC, or CBS?

That’s YOUR argument, not mine or Nacho’s.

Why in the world would anyone embrace THAT piece of fish anymore than they would the notion that you don’t care about such matters while you simultaneously comment upon them?

Hey, perhaps this is off topic but anyhow, I have been browsing around your site and it looks very tasteful. It is easy to see I’m building a new blog and hard put to make it look good, and provide good quality articles. I have learned a lot here and I look forward to more updates and will be coming back.

Wow, thanks for showing me that! johnnydollar and Newsbusters VS Media matters is like comparing 3rd grade to graduate school. Not even close. Quoting a few select Huffpo readers comments out of the thousands they get every hour. Yawn.

And the same gaggle of goofs that post here, post there. LOL!

What do you expect from a population primarily educated by unions?

Wait, it gets better! San Onofre is north of San Diego, not south. It’s at the very northern end of San Diego County, just south of San Clemente.

I agree with this and stand by my statement that information is just more easily available about FoxNews for quicker reference.

CNN, on their map.

sarainitaly said:

No they didn’t. “San Onfore” is clearly north of San Diego on that map.

You guys don’t know where San Diego is.

OOOhhh, I see what happened.

Mark Joyella doesn’t know where San Diego is.

I guess CNN is not as clear of a mistake as I thought it was.

What CNN did was flip floped Los Angeles and San Fransisco. Somebody typed the wrong name in the wrong box for the graphic.

San Diego is not pinpointed on that map, That is Los Angeles. Mark got it wrong and misled you guys.

LOL, so Mark must think Los Angeles was labeled correct.

teehee

Ohhh… stop picking on CNN… just because they think the Left is near the Heart of America. Who said this is a geography site?
