negevrockcity: Fox News recently confused Iraq with Egypt in an on-air map. As many readers of Negev Rock City are aware, Fox News is an American cable television news station. The United States, as many readers are also aware, currently maintains an extensive military presence in Iraq. (Via) Dear Fox News, Here is a link to google maps which you can use to verify your geographical suspicions before you go on the air.  I will also include a link to AOL travel guides in case that is more your speed.  I will file this under things that are embarrassing but not surprising.

Here is a link to google maps which you can use to verify your geographical suspicions before you go on the air.  I will also include a link to AOL travel guides in case that is more your speed. 

I will file this under things that are embarrassing but not surprising.
