FOX News Fail
Remember that South Carolina beauty queen who unearthed a global map-stealing conspiracy? The rest of world may have mocked her, but here at FITS we knew she was onto something.
What was her name again? Oh right … it was “Caitlin.” From Lexington, S.C.
Caitlin from Lexington, everybody.
Anyway, FOX News has now fallen victim to the infamous “Caitlin conspiracy,” as its mapmakers can’t seem to remember the name of that pesky country where America has been warring it up for the past five years.
Ir … Ira … Egypt?
WTF, FOX? Was “Walk Like An Egyptian” playing or something?
That’s “The Iraq,” to you, Mr. Murdoch. You should at least know the names of the nations you want us to nuke.
Of course, even if FOX got its Middle Eastern geography down, there’s no guarantee that anchor Ainsley Earhardt (also from South Carolina) would be able to pronounce any of the countries correctly … and certainly not the OPEC ones.
Hat tip: The (very)”nice” one

What are you trying to say FITS? Ainsley is a dumb blonde or if you’re from SC you’re just – azz dumb?

Junkie-
We’re merely saying that Ainsley’s pronunciation of various OPEC nations leaves something to be desired.
Everything else about her, as far as we can tell, is plenty desirable.

Iraq, Iran, they all look alike.

I think Ainsley is hot, there’s even something charming (or at least entertaining) about her occasional “Sonny Bono” type mistakes.
In all honesty, I think she should have a permanent spot on Fox & Friends- She is a much better fit for a morning show as opposed to special assignment reports.

Rupert and Roger Ailes have got to stop letting Glenn Beck do their maps… Or at least demand he sober up first.

Hey, I’m a fan of Ainsley’s. Even if she works for FAUX News! I will only take by your omission, if you’re from SC – you’re azz dumb! Got it! And I agree.

So is Fox News getting their geography lessons from Biden “The Brain” or King Obama?
After all, Obama did say he campaigned in all 57 states…

You do realize that part of the graphic labelled ‘Iran’ is actually part Iran. Casting stones are we?

Does anybody take Fox News seriously anymore? I mean come on. Of course their actors , I mean anchors are bozos. They are told what to say and how to slant their “news”. Of course, there is no news or facts. They never say that from 2000-2007 our country racked up more debt than in the rest of our entire history as a republic. Fox News was the front for Bush Cheney during this ugly time in our nation.

Ed,
It’s called a business. Every station is a business, nothing more. They each have their market. Fox is merely catering to theirs. This is why we read rather than watch television. I could be a raging liberal, but if the price is right, I’ll feed you all the conservative jive your heart desires…like many of the pastors out there. Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

Yeah, not photoshopped or anything…
