10/27/2002: MSNBC misplaces a state

Undertoad · 10-27-2002, 11:53 AM

As the news came in that the sniper[s] had been caught, and that the Alabama shooting was connected, MSNBC tried vainly to give us a sense of where these events were taking place... and made Mississippi the new Alabama.

I actually used to do that myself. They're almost a mirror image of each other. I eventually gave up and just said "there".

Bah, who knows the east coast states anyway

It's best to live in the west - square states rule!

Hey...it happens. I consider myself good at geography and just found out that Colorado and Wyoming's position were the reverse of what I thought they were.

Well, they've done worse, with the whole "Nigger" Ellis deal earlier this year.

edit: not even me, apparently. is it innis or innes? googling it brings up the same sites for both. the infamous msnbc image spells it innis, but then they spelled the first name wrong too.

It's Innis.

Here's his official website.

Here's the MSNBC gaff for those trying to follow this thread.

Indications are that the accused snipers will not face trial in Alabama.

Geographic profilers say they'd be executed in Virginia before a decision could be reached on where exactly is Alabama.

rofl..

... hahaha...

sorry for the 'me too' pointless post, but nic name always cracks me up.

I think they should let Alabama try them. It sure would be a lot more entertaining on court TV with all the good ole southern boys.

"That place is a complete haven for international terrorists," he told co-host Bill Press. "Even their own retired security guys say it's a complete haven. We . . . need lectures from some people, not from Soviet Canuckistan."

MSNBC spokeswoman Alana Russo said from New York the network has not received any calls of complaint.

As if Canadians even watch MSNBC.

Does that buncha idiots even know where Canada is on a map?

News Flash, Pat ...

OTTAWA — The United States has agreed to back off from its controversial policy of fingerprinting and screening Canadian travellers of Arab origin, Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said today.

He told the House of Commons he got the news from Paul Cellucci, the U.S. ambassador.

"He informed me that in the future Canadians carrying Canadian passports will not be treated any differently depending on where they were born or for any reason whatsoever," the minister said.
