10/27/2002: MSNBC misplaces a state
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".

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.

~james 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. Last edited by perth; 10-27-2002 at 09:42 PM. |

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. |

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.
