I read plenty about how ignorant the American people are about not just thier own country, but the whole world.  I wonder if it's becuase they listen to the Main Stream Media.

What's wrong with this ABC News graphic:

 

(I took a screen grab just incase they feel like fixing it)


Besides the obvious (that's Iran, dummies) why is the Persian Gulf black?  Was their an oil spill we don't know about?

And you wonder why everyone thinks the US is ignorant about the world around them.  Because the great majority is.  This is just more proof.  How many will just look at this graphic and never think twice about it?

You know I lived (none / 0)

The new Fox (none / 0)

ABC news has gone completely to shit.

The debate, list of Obama VPs, now this.

They have become a joke.  Another network obsessed with trying to grab a piece of the shrinking radical conservative news watcher.

Of course, those are pretty much the only people still watching the MSM.
